Foreign Television Desired


I bought a JACK digital TV antenna and installed it. It works fine sitting in my driveway, but my question is, will it work in Canada? The RV dealer that I bought it from didn't know and I'm leaving for Canada next month. Frank K., (Mays Landing, NJ)


Frank, even though I live relatively close to the Canadian border, I too, was unsure about this so I contacted an in-country source. According to my Canadian buddy, tech writer Steve Froese, since the Jack is a UHF and VHF antenna, you should have no problems receiving television signals when you cross the border. Satellite systems, however, may pose problems. To my knowledge, most services do not permit reception across country borders.
