Radio shack will be misssed but in Edmonton their are at least two other places to go and much cheeper. Arrow Bell and Active components both have a good supply of stuff.
Heathkit made alot of fun kits to build I personaly made several. I do know that Arrow Bell in the west end has kits like them.

I don't know if personal commendations are allowed on the forum, but I don't think you should look any further than 4DTV HD himself as a supplier.
Ordered a 4228 and a pre-amp from him last Thursday, personally delivered to me at my work on Monday
While I enjoy "messing" around with these things, my only regret is not getting 4DTV HD directly on-site to set it up. This is one knowledgeable and enthusiastic guy, as I stood there listening to him talk about his hobby and his work

I've recommended 4DTV HD myself by PM to Vancouver area DHCers so I'm great with commendations but DHC forum rules dissuade promotion of professional services so its best if we PM him regarding purchases, etc. By all means ask his advice here in public, as I sure will.

I'd like to recommend 4DTV HD for those of you living in the Greater Vancouver are, he set me up with my CM 4228, cables, and pre-amp. He drove all the way out here twice, and even turned back once because I needed a couple of short cables.

Great guy, and it's seems like he really likes what he does. Wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.

PM 4DTV HD, he's very helpful.

I also agree, 4D is very knowledgeable and helpful and answered all of my questions. Highly recommended!

Where do I get the hardware (pole,rotor etc) to mount the antenna?

Are there any retailers near North Delta for the Channelmaster 4228?

Thanks

stampeder · 2006-07-27, 08:37 PM

mexman, you can get a CM4228 antenna, mounting gear and a rotor from a DHCer named 4DTV HD, who is from Aldergrove. Hopefully he will be reading this soon, or if you can send a Personal Message to him you should give him a try:

Also regarding mounting gear and rotors you can buy them from The Source store on Scott Road in the mall between Zellers and Save On but they have to make a special order for you. They don't carry Channel Master antennas. The problem is that those store personnel often don't know much about the OTA gear that they carry, so read through the following The Source web page to find the right stuff so that you can print it out and take it to them for ordering:

I will have a Samsung SIR-T451 for sale. For anyone who is having a hard time finding an HD tuner for OTA this will work great! Thanks

coreyinoz · 2007-11-20, 10:07 AM

Any idea where I can get the antenna locally? If it doesn't work, I'd like the option to return it. Not keen on Ebay or Amazon.

Thanks,

coreyinoz

London Drugs carries a Terk clone of the ZSS, and they have an excellent return policy.

Also I've moved your other question into this thread for your specific area: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=36748

mirek · 2007-11-30, 06:23 PM

I was at the London Drugs, couldn't find anything, all they had was a pair of RCA rabbit ears? for 19.99$

so I bought it to test.

keating · 2007-12-01, 01:57 AM

Just so you know the London Drugs at the Lougheed mall does NOT have any silver sensors. I'll try visiting the London Drugs on Kingsway or somewhere else if someone could be more specific as to which London Drugs has ZSS clones?

keating · 2007-12-02, 01:21 PM

Also, the London Drugs at Brentwood mall and on Kingsway do NOT have any silver sensors clones, just the rabbit ears that mirek mentioned.

mirek · 2007-12-03, 08:23 PM

Will be returning these rabbit ears, what garbage, can't even get analog ! hah.
