Over the air there is one analog station in Buffalo, a low power
channel 15 WBNF-CA (which I can get from near Yonge and Eglinton, with
more snow than picture). Analog service is still available on cable
(at least for now). Also, if you wanted to say transfer video tapes to
digital, this card could do the trick... In other words, this card,
while FAR from ideal, isn't quite ready to be a paperweight.
