just stampeder will do fine. I think you should try without a preamp and then post your old Silver Sensor and new CM4228 results in the Montreal thread. When I see what difference the new antenna makes I'll be able to comment better on whether you would need a preamp.

True... it'll be interesting to see what difference the praised CM4228 will make compared to the modest Silver Sensor clone. I have to say I was very impressed the first time I pointed this tiny piece of metal and plastic towards the south.

Of course I've only had good results in good weather. The signals coming in from the back (SRC / CBC) are impossible to catch in rain. I hope the CM4228 will remedy that.

I just got my CM4228 yesterday from Moncalm in Laval... I bet they got it from Raybel...

jtheman · 2007-01-11, 11:46 AM

HI
Ive tried Raybel in MTL and Montcalm and they are BO(and normally 99$)......and they is suppose to be 13% or so people using OTA signal in our area and weren't able to have 'Excalibur'.If someone knows a trucker or is planning to go to the USA bring us a Van........guess I will have to buy it from Ontario for 155 thats the best price Ive found(delivered)Anyones knows a better price somewhere

I just got off the phone with Raybel in Mtl. They have the 4228 in stock at $109.95 CAD. Prices seem to be climbing fairly quickly compared to posts I've read from 2006....Supply and Demand at work for ya!!

What is the easiest/cheapest way to get an ATSC set top box tuner in Montreal?
Do any of the local stores in this thread sell them?

Or must I buy off eBay?

Kro · 2007-04-10, 01:21 PM

MontCalme had one (Not sure if they still have some).

Kro · 2007-04-13, 12:11 PM

VHF antenna: Wade-Delhi 5Y13S http://www.wade-antenna.com/Wade/cutchannel.pdf you can get it from Raybel.

zamboni · 2007-04-25, 10:59 AM

Folks in Laval / Montreal
Where are you buying your gear?
specifically CM4228
CM lists Addison and Raybel as the distributors,
Addison has no clue about it, whereas Raybel says they are out of stock with no foreseeable FTA.

Kro · 2007-04-25, 11:06 AM

Zamboni: Montcalm might still have some.

zamboni · 2007-04-25, 01:59 PM

Awesome thanks Kro.

Are there any updates on an easy-to-get Channel 13 antenna? I'm moving to a new condo (wooo bought my own place) not far from where I live now and I will have to remount my antenna.. it would be great if I could remount and have a higher chance of getting ABC..

I've seen some DIY ones, but I'm challenged in that department.

stampeder · 2007-05-09, 03:21 PM

craigstar, see Post #69 for one that Kro uses.

Hi there,
I've tried Addison, Raybel and Montcalm but no one seem to have the Channel Master 4221 in stock.

Raybel offered the Delhi 4BT-1483 instead.

I want to get CBC/SRC but I had trouble with a Silver Sensor. Will the Delhi do the trick even though I leave it inside my apartment?

I live in Rosemont.
