all of which, while most likely true -- sucks big time for us viewers.

why doesn't Cogeco then add say Boston NBC or Buffalo NBC, or some other feed too....

would help, I'd think....

stupid is as stupid does, eh!

What bothered me was I was loosing the last 5 minutes of Lost every week.
Anyone who watches knows it is hard to keep up with at the best of times.
I can just see how a call to the broadcaster would go.
Laughter, then f--k off.

Cost more than likely. They have Headend facilities in Windsor, pick it up over the air, and put it on the fibre and send it out.

But if memory served me correctly, I thought in Hamilton it used to be NBC from Buffalo....or Burlington/Waterdown area, wherever you are ...

I could be wrong on that one. Something may have changed, it might be less cost effective to have 2 Headends pick up what is in essence the same channel, minus some programming differences of course.

I believe also as a condition of license that they can only have 1 of the US 4+1 feeds in any given BDU area. So it doesn't give them the ability to add an additional feed in.

WDIV Channel 4 Detroit delayed the Wednesday evening lineup for the fireworks, and started broadcasting it at 1:35am on Thursday for anyone with a video recorder.

I can recall they announced it several times during the fireworks display.

SD is all from Buffalo, but HD is all from Detroit...

... which is rather odd, since I think Rogers now uses Buffalo HD feeds in the GTA, yet Cogeco stays with Detroit. I could be wrong on that though.

Hell, I remember the days when we used to get Erie, PA affiliates in Niagara. Those went away a long time ago. Rogers still carries Rochester in Durham Region, albeit on a digital tier.
