Oh, and BTW, They’ll give You a cheap, long set of component cables to go with the box… You’re gonna wanna pick up a decent HDMI/DVI cable somewhere. If it’s under 3’ long, You can pick up just about any brand cable. > [@Jeller](#): > > Went to the office yesterday on Maple and they are out of HD boxes and DVR’s.

> [@Nikuk](#): > > That must be why I have four or more coworkers & friends that have to brush their dish in winter, right? :mamoru: > > Weather happens. But 2-3 brief outages a year is on Par with TimeWarner anyhow. :gotme: We’ve never had to Brush off our dish, and I live in West Falls where it snows a lot more than up in the Northtowns. Pam FTW. As for the over the air antenna, we’ve got a rotating one, can get everything in. And with enough playing around, and patience, we can get CBC in high def for hockey. ---

And with enough playing around, and patience, we can get CBC in high def for hockey. I’d watch out with Pam. Sometimes Pam can create a glare that will affect and possibly burn out the LNB. Also, pam tends to become an adhesive to snow. I’ve seen a couple different sprays that work better. The biggest thing is definitely how tuned in your dish is. ---
