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.

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.

More info please. How often does CBC carry the Sabres in HD? I’m guessing just Toronto and Ottawa games?

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.
