Welcome to TV Garth!

Ever since I was a kid, I loved antennas and TV reception. It was always a thrill to hook up an antenna and see what stations I could get, and see if I could pick up anything from a far distance. With the transition to digital broadcasting happening, my love for OTA (over the air) reception came back and this blog will focus on what channels I'm able to receive via antenna from my home just outside of Toronto, Canada. Plus there may be occasional commentaries on shows that I see while adjusting my reception.

Reception Reports: A "Summer-y" of June 23-24, 2009 with Rochester, Utica & Syracuse!


I sure could use a taste of Utica right now. It's now mid-October, feels like mid-November, and the tropo TV reception has really cooled down. So I figured I would go back and create albums of my Summer TV DXing to fill in the "gap" between the old style Reception Reports on TV Garth and the new Flickr ones. So let this "Summer-y" of past reception bring some heat to the cold Fall weather. This was my adventure DXing TV stations from Rochester, NY / Utica, NY and Syracuse, NY on June 23-24, 2009 from my home in Markham, Ontario, Canada. This was the first time I picked up Utica's WKTV and Syracuse's WSYR in my own home! I captured many shots from newscasts along with great local ads like the one pictured above!
