Canada still has analog TV... last I checked they don't translate to all digital until 2011.
One more question, TV channels in Canada come up the same way as in the US right? If WinTV were to scan for channels (It doesn't on my PC for some reason..so I have to flip channels) would it show available channels as "CH2 , CH3, Ch45" etc?
Canada uses NTSC Television formatting, the US does as well. So yes. That would work.

Correct, Canada does still run analog NTSC. We don't have many OTA stations, so where ever your going, plug into a cable outlet, you'll get channels 2 to 65. If you have a digital tuner, you will get all those stations plus Galaxie radio stations.

I knew this was going to be a horror vacation for me coming up. The vehicle we're supposed to be taking on the trip just got wrecked in the rear end by someone not paying attention. :cry: :cry3: :cry3: :cry3: :cry3:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Looks like our Canada trip is cancelled due to family issues. Wonderful way to start off this summer. :rolleyes:

Sorry :(
I haven't been through Canada since April 2005 when I went to Niagara Falls just daze after they had a big snowstorm. I really liked it. Where were you hoping to go?

Ottawa, Quebec City, Toronto for a week...I'm still looking for airfare prices but the cost is outrageous..$710 per person.

Yeah, and with all that crappy unnecessary security they have these days, flying just isn't worth it, at least to me.
That is why we drive hundreds of miles a month  :biggrin:

I don't like to fly as much as I used to. :no: I've really lost my interest in aviation now, I still have Flight Sim X on my computer but i can't remember the last time I've used that program..maybe 2 years ago.

I prefer road trips anyway. More scenic than seeing nothing but the sky and the ground several thousand miles below.  :biggrin:

Exactly! I too prefer road trips, and the only two times I can ever remember being on a plane was when I was 2 and back in November 2007. It is just not wort it to fly these days.

Well, I am off to Grand Rapids in just a few minutes here. I should be online around 9 PM, after I have toured my NWS office there and gone to an appreciation dinner for CoCoRaHS members!
