Yes, we have high definition television! Contrary to what you
may have heard, a wide variety of free off-air HDTV programming is
available in the Greater Toronto and Buffalo areas. This page contains
a list of all current and future Canadian and American channels for the
region, their status and power levels, plus a location map of all HDTV
transmitters currently broadcasting in the Southern Ontario and Western
New York areas.
For answers to common questions, please see the Toronto/Buffalo HDTV FAQ.
