Does canada have a mandatory analog switch-off date? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.171.187.183 (talk) 15:42, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hear that the tentative date is August 31, 2011. MMetro (talk) 11:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is that to switch off, or is that merely the last date to switch HDTV on? --66.102.80.212 (talk) 00:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody has to switch HDTV on, but it is the best feature of digital transmission, which is what's mandatory. BTW, my source for the tentative date is the alt.tv.tech.hdtv usenet forum. MMetro (talk) 01:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/oca-bc.nsf/en/ca02336e.html appears to be the official line, "The set-top converter boxes should be available starting in 2009 and should be in most retail stores by 2011. By the 2011 deadline, set-top converter boxes are expected to cost less than $100." Ouch. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 11:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You mean you can't just shop for one in Detroit right now? Your dollar's doing great, and they're between $45-60 US. MMetro (talk) 15:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Formal fair use rationale has been added for the vintage ad in question. Steelbeard1 (talk) 15:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The vintage CKLW-TV ad is in trouble again, despite additional info added in fair use rationale. Steelbeard1 (talk) 18:35, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that it is not, as far as I can see, adding anything to the article. What is it illustrating? J Milburn (talk) 18:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

East Lansing[edit]

Did you guys know that CBET is included in a cable package as far west in Michigan as East Lansing? I'm pretty sure it's too far west to be picked up by antenna, but that city does have a carrier that carries CBET that far west of the border, and maybe that fact should be included in the article. --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:38, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
