Hello Rob!

OTA == Over The Air.  Yes.. analog specifically. Albiet OTA can  
refer to digital broadcasts now, I guess.

We could get CBC, CTV and Global.  The antenna has a rotor  
(that has long since ceased up) ..but the East direction was  
still pretty good for CBC and excellent for Global.  Global was  
the last hold out.  When Global went off the air, I reverted to  
DVDs or the things I could watch from collecting online - store  
on a USB stick - and play them on modest media-play connected  
to the TV.
