1st thing on Saturday morning…

Get out there with a brush and clear all the snow from your dish and your LNB.

A bit of timely housekeeping will give you the best chance of having a successful broadcast reception tomorrow for “Maria Stuarda” from Met Opera.

If you call the helpline with no reception and haven’t done this, we will ask you to put your hat and gloves on 1st and get sweeping!

 

Good luck!
