Recently the CRTC granted a DTV license to CTV for CIVT-DT, Vancouver on ch. 33. Iti is anticipated to be on the air in Q4 of this year. It will be receivable with simple antennas througout the Vancouver area.With a suitable antenna, you may be able to receive the Bellingham stations on ch. 19 and 35 currently on-air. HD signals are also available on cable and satellite.

Over the Air in Vancouver BC i was wondering when over the air high definition is coming to Vancouver BC. and what do you need to receive over the air hd . Do you need the antenna? or do you just need (for our setup) the HDTV and the hd set-top box which I have is the Shaw DCT5 6200. Thx

Comment from Admin.

CTV advises that CIVT-DT will begin transmitting OTA in Vancouver around Jun/05. It is expected that Shaw-Vancouver will carry this signal, but it is not known yet when they plan to add the CTV network to their HD line up.

To receive the HD signals OTA from CIVT-DT (or possibly from the Bellingham stations in the US) you will need to install and antenna, an indoor one might suffice for the local station, and purchase either an ATSC OTA set-top box to work with the existing HD Ready set or an integrated HD television with an ATSC tuner built in. The Motorola DCT-6200 does not receive off-air signals and works only with cable.
