Source for OTA Gear on the Wet Coast

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.

Greater Vancouver area

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. :D

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

4DTV HD and The Source

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:

London Drugs Discontinued ZSS Clone?

I've asked around a few London Drugs stores downtown, and none of the stores have any in stock. Speaking with an employee at the Robson location, he believes that London Drugs is no longer carrying that antenna.

So you know what people? We write/e-mail letters to the merchandiser at London Drugs' HQ. Simply state that you have an HDTV, and would like to receive digital TV signals over the air, and without the Terk HDTVi, you feel you don't have a chance at getting reception. Ask to bring back the Terk HDTVi. Suggest that if the sales of the antenna were too low to warrent shelf space, that poor sales were due to a.)the price being too high for such a small and cheap antenna, and b.)poor marketing of the antenna as a source for HD. Add, if that Terk HDTVi antenna was bundled with the sale of HDTVs, digital OTA would gain interest and popularity.

Washington State

I was asked by a DHCer where in Washington State a person would have to go to get a Channel Master antenna. Unfortunately neither Blaine nor Bellingham has a good shop that I know of, so maybe someone can correct me on that.

I would have recommended Pringles Electronics in Everett, WA:

3011 Grand Ave
Everett, WA 98201, USA
(425) 258-6161

but mirek tells me that their phone number is disconnected and web page is gone!?

Langley/Surrey Source for CM4228

Just purchased a CM4228 at 21st Century Entertainment Inc. located in Port Kells (North Langley/Surrey)

here's the info:

21st Century Entertainmet Inc.
Unit 305, 19358 - 96th Ave.
Surrey, BC
(604) 513-2377

Less than $70.00 plus tax. They have a multiple of other gear (coax, connectors, wall plates) but their operation is mostly geared to satellite. But they seem that they would order in almost anything. The CM4228 is certainly a great deal, and when I left they still had two in stock.
