Welcome to TV Garth!

Ever since I was a kid, I loved antennas and TV reception. It was always a thrill to hook up an antenna and see what stations I could get, and see if I could pick up anything from a far distance. With the transition to digital broadcasting happening, my love for OTA (over the air) reception came back and this blog will focus on what channels I'm able to receive via antenna from my home just outside of Toronto, Canada. Plus there may be occasional commentaries on shows that I see while adjusting my reception.

2009-2017 DTV Channel Guide Pt. 1 (RF2-28)

This Channel Guide covers DTV signals I received at my previous home in Markham, Ontario, Canada from 2009 to 2017. It's organized by real frequencies, followed by virtual channel numbers. Stations marked with an asterisk (*) are former or pre-transition frequencies. (Also check out Part One and Part Two of my new Channel Guides, covering 2017-present.)
