I don't think the service that provides D* with the guide info includes Canadian channels, eh?

Can you only get the Canadian stations via your Tv's tuner, I assume?

This web site has both US and Canandian over the air stations. It's already set up for Buffalo.

I grew up in Niagara Falls watching Hockey Night in Canada. Good Luck!

I'm in Hamburg and CBC tunes to UHF Ch. 20 and comes on OTA at ch. 5.1. Hockey night in Canada comes in great HD!! Usually just the first game at 7:00 and upconverted at 10:00 game. It'e been HD for 2 years now and comes in just as good as HDNET games.

Do you know if I can get this channel added to my Direct Tv Guide so I can tune it with my hr20 receiver? Or can I only get the HD feed through my tv tuner only?

Don't know how ota works with Direct tv but on dish you can manually add it and it comes thru as a Digital Service channel.

Only through your TV tuner since the Canadian stations aren't available in the guide.
