Two guides in Toronto? Rogers (CN Tower) and Buffalo (OTA USA)?
I'm still a little lost but getting there. I have a dual tuner SageTV and I'm only interested in digital OTA. I have one antenna pointed towards the CN tower and the other towards Grand Island USA. Should I stick with the Rogers guide data for both or use two guides?
Anyone else using a similar configuration?

I am doing the same thing. You'll be impressed with OTA HD quality, I mean the picture quality, the content is the same as anything else...
For myself I'm getting T.O., Hamilton, and Buffalo from a single antenna and tuner. What you want to do when choosing a guide is the not so intuitive "cable or satellite" choice, put in any T.O. area postal code, and then pick "antenna". This is in contrast to choosing antenna from the previous menu which only lists U.S. cities. The listing will show all nearby OTA channels including local and U.S. You probably won't be able to pickup all of them so do a scan to enable the ones that work. I get about 10 out in Burlington from a small antenna but the HD beats Rogers et al hands down. I find that the T.O. channel EPG will not always show accurate guide data but you can remap those channels to a matching Rogers channel so that the guide info is correct. |

My location means I have to use two antennas and I don't mind the dual tuners (3 if you count the 2250 as two)
I can then get Big Bang & House on Mondays plus watch the news. Your right the PQ is amazing. I figure it also saves the raw HDTV stream and the compression options are only for analog.
