If live, and if have?

MR. JAROME_CALVIN

Good day all. If you live in Springfield, Ma area (Holyoke, Amherst....). Also if you (Don't have Cable TV, and or don't have Cable Satellite TV)
If you have a Converter Box. Only have the local channels (PBS, CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, CW, ION, Univision...) If you only have these channels?
You know what I'm asking.
A few years back when you had to call to get that Government Coupon, and then you can buy the Converter Boxes?
If you all have that, and live in this area, I have a question for you.
Seeing that, there is Channel 3 in Springfield, Ma (CBS). Hartford, CT also has Channel 3, I think they are also CBS.
Which one do you get? Do you get both or ?? Also, can you pick up a lot of Hartford and or Boston tv stations?
Back in the day, my Aunt used to live in Sunderland, Ma, the TV in her room didn't have cable, I picked up stations from (Hartford, CT) which came in pretty okay. The Boston channels were, ehhh but it was still viewable, but with lots of static (BEES)
Tell me your experience?
 
WFSB-TV channel 3 of Hartford transmits on channel 33 for their digital. They have these channels:

3-1 CBS
3-3 Eyewitness News NOW
3-4 WFSB Fairfield County (WFSB-TV in SD with station promos, PSAs and advertising aimed at Fairfield County only)

3-2 used to be "CBS 3 Springfield" in SD and could be seen here in Hartford/New Haven.

Today's over-the-air version of "CBS 3 Springfield" is really WSHM-LD (low-power digital). It transmits on channel 21 from Montgomery, MA, to the west of Springfield. TVs in that area will show the station as "3-5" for whatever reason.

Meanwhile, the "FOX 6" service in Springfield is really WGGB-TV 40-2. Confused? Ha ha! :)
