Think about how many small analogue transmitters that TVO has to change, and you can understand why they are waiting until the last minute. I've found in my installation travels in Ontario that (besides Toronto and Hamilton) the only networks that have switched full-time are SUN-TV. I'm assuming there will be a lot in transition next spring and summer - which is why I opened The HD Antenna store at 881 St. Clair W. in Toronto last week. Come visit whenever you're in the city.

Actually, TVO only has to change 6 in mandatory markets. I understand they will transition about 3 more transmitters since they are in the 52-69 channel range that must be vacated. The rest will stay analog for the foreseeable future. Now all they need is the provincial government to give them some money. Yup, they've known since May 2007 that this was going to happen in Aug. 2011 and they still don't have the money (not sure they've even submitted the request yet). Brilliant management!
From what I understand, pretty much a done deal that CKVR won't be digital until Sept. 1 next year.
