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

Probably a post on something like reddit, you know, where people ask questions, and helpful people answer, and those helpful answers show up in the results.

But, google being google, these days it's probably not what they were looking for because they used a word that confused the ai and produced no useful results.

Also, being a specific question, about a specific situation, in a specific region, by someone who hasn't had experience in the topic of their inquiry in 20 years, it may be hard to know where or how to look for relevant information and the best option is to ask real people who can provide real answers specifically relevant to the person asking.

Does that help?
