Watching olympics without cable?

Your upstairs TV probably doesn't have a digital converter built in. You need that to get the digital free to air channels. 42 is non digital hence why it came in, sorta.

For what its worth I bought a really nice Digital Antenna and roof mounted it. Getting about 26 channels in HD right now, that plus my Kodi box has eliminated any desire to get cable aside from live sports.

Ya thanks, I didn't know 42 wasn't digital but it makes sense. Also someone at work told me I needed a box, he's got a spare and he's bringing it tomorrow so I should be all set. What direction is your pointed at?

I used this

it works great, just plug in your city or address & zoom in on your house to see how the antenna should be pointed
i've been using a DB8E with an amplifier for 5 years in Acton & get 23 channels including all the Buffalo ones

PS the HD quality with the antenna is way better then bell or rogers , especially with CBC

Okay thanks, that link is set to Buffalo though, not sure how to change it.
You're right about the quality though, crystal clear.
