Following this article, and list of tv channels, I experimented with setting up my ATSC TV to tune in digital channels. I found that when you tune to the "real" digital channel, say 20.1 for CBC Toronto, the television displays a different channel, 5. It appears that the broadcasts identify themselves with the analog-side channel in the local area, CBLT analog is on channel 5. Is this common to all digital TV's, or just my set? If this is common to all televisions, it seems some clarifying text would be helpful, especially in the list of stations article.

London Ontario, for example, is served by only 1 TV station that "originates" local content, yet it is listed as one of the markets that must switch to ATSC broadcasting in August 2011. Can anyone explain why? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.10.130.47|76.10.130.47]] ([[User talk:76.10.130.47|talk]]) 20:41, 22 December 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:London is a market with over 300,000 people, so therefore all stations in the London market must transition to digital. <small><span style="border:2px solid #CC6600;padding:px;">[[User:Emarsee|<fontspan style="color:#FFFFFF;background:#CC6600;">&nbsp;єmarsee&nbsp;</fontspan>]] • [[User talk:Emarsee|<span style="font-family:corbel; color:#CC6600">Speak up!</span>]]</span></small> 00:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 
I believe the criteria were any of over-300000 population, more than one local originating station or a provincial capital are mandatory markets.

[[:Digital terrestrial television in Canada]] → {{no redirect|Digital television in Canada}} – In 2016, [[User:Nick Mitchell 98]] moved this page for consistency with other articles. However, the result does not reflect usage. Like in the US (see [[Talk:Digital television in the United States]] for that RM), usage of the term "digital terrestrial" is practically nonexistent in Canada. A search for "digital terrestrial" on cbc.ca brought up two results, both about other countries. This is the only other article title in this set where I sense a [[WP:ENGVAR]] problem and suggest a move.

*'''Support''' for same reasons as the recent U.S. article move. [[User:Rreagan007|Rreagan007]] ([[User talk:Rreagan007|talk]]) 21:33, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
*'''Support'''. The original idea herebehind "terrestrial" being present in some of the article titles was to distinguish OTA transmission from digital ''cable'' — but while this article doesn't touch on cable ''as much'' as its US sibling does, it's not entirely lacking in cable-related content either. Even the analog→digital switchover, as important as it is for us to cover somewhere, should really be contextualized in a broader article rather than standing alone as its own thing — and its broader context, by definition, has to include at least somea bit of content about cable distribution as well. The category is straddling the line, with some titles including the word "terrestrial" and others not, so standardization may be a valid goal here — but it should really have involved the "digital terrestrial television" articles being moved to "digital television", rather than vice versa.

== it's now year 2020, can we edit to past-tense? ==
 
wondering if some of the content here that says "XXX *will* convert by 2016" can be revised to *did*, by simple correction of tense. The downside is that someorg *may have not* converted to DTV.
