August 2011 is when the analog signals are to be phased out here.

You are lucky you can get all those HD OTA signals where you are at. We only get 2 here in the Ottawa area...CBC English and CBC French.

I have heard that some folks around here can pick up US signals from upper New York state, but they need a high mast antenna to do it.

Mine (cable) is advertised at 7.0 and I average 6.8.
