Are we talking Bell? And are we talking coax cable?

My guess- the Bell receiver upstairs is set to broadcast on channel 45 VHF, and the HDTV is set to receive channel 45 UHF.

VHF is like Shaw cable
UHF is over the air signals.

Bell receivers can output either UHF or VHF; but the TV's input must be set to "Cable" to get VHF; and "Air" to get UHF.

So basically it's like you are trying to get to The Fan960 with an FM radio be setting it to 96.0.
