Hi,
I thought this might be of interest to the group. Yesterday I uploaded a video to my YouTube channel showing the over-the-air TV channels that I'm able to pick up in my area (Southgate) using an antenna. I show a little bit of each channel and briefly talk about it. (I'm hoping that it doesn't get blocked by YouTube for this reason.) The video runs 31 minutes.

A video overview of Detroit-area TV channels
Re: A video overview of Detroit-area TV channels
Surprised you didn't pick up any Toledo stations from there.
The UI looks the same as my DVR box. Are you using a DVR or is that the TV's display?
The hand-held camera bouncing around started getting annoying quickly. Should have clamped that to something.
Otherwise, good overview of what's available.

Re: A video overview of Detroit-area TV channels
Thanks. I was kinda hoping that the bouncing camera might prevent the video from getting flagged and blocked. I'd done at least two videos like this in the past, some years ago, where it was recorded directly from the TV, and they eventually got blocked due to copyright. So I'm hoping this one stays up a bit longer.
I have the antenna set up in a certain way to pick up the channels that I view the most. Unfortunately, to be able to get in some channels I'd lose others, as is the case with Ch. 9 (CBC) which can't be picked up on my antenna at the same time as a couple of the others, like Ch. 15, 18, etc.
I'm viewing the TV through a Konvert SC-55 digital converter box, which is hooked up to my DVD recorder so that I'm able to record broadcasts onto DVD-Rs.
Thanks for the comment!
