Yes, that is bad news. There are also reports coming in from other places in Canada that original-style Channel Master 4221s and 4228s are running out of stock.

If anyone will make a trip to New York this weekend you might bring us back some of the CM4221 for cheaps: $23.95USD

the store is Ace HardWare Outlet: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=347+Kn...237&iwloc=addr

BobyYoo, buy what is on the Antenna Chart and don't bother with anything else:

We are looking for a place in Montreal or on-line that sells the Zenith Silver Sensor or clone. Anyone selling theirs or have any suggestions?

The Source by circuit city used to sell the Terk one that wasn't amplified, but now they only carry a REALLY OVER PRICED amplified one at $80 (!!!!!!!!!!!!)...don't buy that that's a rip off price.

It's really tough to find them in Montreal, I found mine at a dollar shop for $20 but they never restocked it.

I hope you aren't planning on getting many U.S. channels with that unless you live on a 2nd floor or higher with no obstructions SOUTH. Or maybe live in Brossard or further south.

I found a bunch of them online yesterday, so see the OTA Online thread.

Hi guys , I'm so glad I have found this forum ! I've been trying to get infos by reading what's already here but there's so many threads and details , that I got totally lost ! And bear with me , I'm french LOL .

I have to say , I'm totally out of date with all that is tv and all. Since moving from Montreal to the "boonies" (Sherrington , Quebec , near US border) 5 years ago. A year ago , I cancelled my Bell expressvu because it was too expensive for the amount of time I watch TV. I bought "rabbit ears" and it worked fine. Was able to get the canadian stations , and some US ones : NBC , CBS , FOX , PBS .... of course , I lost those US station not long ago.

I've tried to get a converter box but every store has been telling me at first , they would get them by the end of February , now it's by the end of March !! And , they will sell them for about $100.00. So I thought why pay this much , when I could order one online from US for much cheaper ..... but there's so many and I'm afraid to get one that won't work .... I don't need anything fancy , I just want my channels back ! So what's the easiest way to get a converter box ? And , is this all that I need to buy ?

Thanks !

If all you want is a converter box, this is the only one i know of in canada. I'm sure others can find more.

A neighbor wants to sell me his used tower (20-25 ft), quite old, assuming its in good condition, how much is that worth...

I found a supplier of Regal Splitters in Montreal.

Marche aux puces 5 etoiles in St-leonard.

Door 5, near the wall, it is a guy that looks like Alice Cooper. He has a ton of stuff like cables.

Brand new and cheaper then FleaBay.

how do you ensure they are the right quality, meaning they are actually "REGALs"...
