Good news. Channel 10 ( Global BC ) on Hudson Bay Mountain is finally back on the air. The repaired transmitter was received back from ( Technalogix in Red Deer, Alberta ) on Saturday and was put back into operation the same day.

Over the next couple of weeks we will be transitioning our digital channels to full HD resolution. This will give improved pictures and colour. Please read our previous post if you lose the picture on these channels.
Changes to Digital Channels in Smithers area
In the near future, we are planning to change our digital channels to full HD. Some viewers may need to make changes to their TV when this happens. Flat screens more than 10 years old may have problems with this new format.
If after this change, you are only able to receive audio on our digital channels; you will need to purchase either a digital converter box or a newer flat screen tv. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but i believe you will be happy when you see the improved resolution. This is a good time of year to consider purchasing a new flat screen tv. If dollars are tight, the least expensive place to buy a new tv locally is "www.walmart.ca"
We will give you advance notice when we are going to make this change.
WE ARE BACK
Family Channel and The Discovery Channel are back on Channels 20-203 and 20-202 for viewers in the Smithers area.
SNOW ALERT
As many of our viewers may have noticed we are currently experiencing problems with some of our tv channels.
We have entered the time of year when we experience large amounts of wet snow at our transmitter sites.
This is causing us to intermittently lose our satellite reception until the snow either melts or the weather becomes colder.
Please bear with us during this dificult period.☹️
Viewers in the Smithers area will have noticed that two of our digital channels (Family Channel and Discovery ) have gone missing. We have had to replace these two channels until we add a new LNB to one of our satellite dishes. This is necessary because our Signal Supplier abruptly relocated these channels to a different satellite. These channels will be back on the air soon.
