How to watch TV? (lemmy.ca)

I picked up an old/cheap digital TV antenna and plugged it into my TV and watching regular TV for the first time in 20+ years.

The automatic channel scan picks up 9 stations here in Toronto. I was hoping for PBS but no luck. I don't think I even have english CBC. Where is it supposed to be?

There isn't a TV guide station anymore.

So far the best thing I found is OMNI TV where I just watched the news in Tagalog (I think) and now it's on again in Arabic. On a weekend where time is happening, the English that's sprinkled in is enough to make it interesting to me.

WTF someone vandalized "fuck gaza" on a Muslim Association of Canada building in Montreal. News is perhaps suggesting people donate to https://handsforcharity.org/ 🍉

I wish this was subtitled in english to appease my anglo chauvinism.

Anyways in a general sense how do you find out what's on TV
