Following this weekend’s major updates to our Toronto/Buffalo OTA HDTV Channel Map, I would also like to announce that our Rogers Clear QAM Channel List has also been updated with recent changes, including channel moves, station renaming, along with a few new additions.

This is a list of free channels that Rogers subscribers can receive using any QAM-compatible tuner (such as in most modern HDTVs), without the use of a Rogers digital box.

In response to all of the emails (wow!) I've finally been able to update our Toronto & Buffalo Area OTA HDTV Channel Map. This includes the latest updates to all GTA channels after the analog cutoff on August 31st, plus updates to Buffalo and Rochester stations, as well as a refreshed reference map.

Almost every entry has been modified in some way, and as there was a huge amount of changes to incorporate please take the time to let me know if you spot an error or omission! Also, I would like to hear about any new digital repeaters in the area that haven't been included.

For more, see our HDTV Forum. Note: list updated again October 3, 2011.

With our new file area program performing very well, I've finally been able to keep up-to-date with file area submissions. To that extent you'll find over 80 new universal remote control manuals as well as other new submissions in Philips Pronto, URC, RTI and Device Command Library file areas. To visit our completely enhanced and redesigned file area click here!

If you have something you'd like to share with the remote control community, please take the time to upload it!

A few weeks ago I announced the launch of our completely new file area, and asked members to look around and test things out. After a number of bugs and other changes and improvements, things have settled down and I thought it was time to itemize everything that’s changed. Read more...

Server maintenance to replace a failed hard drive is scheduled for sometime today - at this moment I do not know when exactly. Depending on what all is determined necessary to fix the issue, an outage may occur of up to several hours - or there may be no outage at all.

Update 5:40 PM EST: maintenance is now complete, with no outage (except for several minutes this morning for a reboot).

Out with the old and in with the new! After much planning, development and wear and tear on my fingertips, I’m very pleased today to present the first beta test of Remote Central’s brand new file area. Look it over, try it out, and let me know what you think! Read more...

Please note that the backend forum search engine has been upgraded to a new version to support a forthcoming major update to a particular site feature, so please let me know if you spot any bugs or issues with it.

I've just completed several minor forum changes, triggered by a spam attack last night that resulted in over 3,500 accounts created in 8 hours. Read more...

Our listing of Toronto & Buffalo HDTV channels has been updated with the new addition of WNGS-DT (finally on the air in digital, in time to be sold to Buffalo's ITV) and changes to WPXJ-DT (removal of a subchannel and the addition of 720p broadcasting).

I’m very pleased to announce that last night, at 9:27 PM, a major milestone was reached here at Remote Central – the one millionth post was made to our forums! Read more...
