Sorry to put this here, but I've had this problem posted in the Canadian satellite forum for a month with no help. I'm working with with the Bell equivalent of a 211k receiver (a 6131) on a Dish 500 with the two dual output LNBs. I had to disconnect the cable from the dish to move it out of the...

A few months ago I had to disconnect my cable from the dish and pull it out of the way when I had some trench work done in my yard. Everything was working fine before that. When I reconnected it after about a week, I had no signal. I swapped cables with my other satellite, and it worked fine, so...

For the month or two, every time I tune to an OTA channel on the AM21 for the first time in a given day, I get the signal loss error. Almost always, my signal is fine straight to the TV. I'll reset the AM21 by unplugging the USB from my main receiver (HR22), waiting a few seconds, then plugging...

I had my receiver, a 6131 model, unplugged for a few weeks while I was playing around with some other stuff around my TV and needed the outlet. When I plugged it back in, I got this error message about a smart card not being authorized, but I've never had a card in this receiver, and from my...

I've had service with Bell though a broker for about 4 1/2 years. I would like to get rid of the broker and take over the account myself so I can have more access to the account, and to save some money not having to pay the broker fees. I don't wan to simply cancel and start a new account...

About a week ago, I started getting the Missing Guide Info pop-up messages and my guide data went to Regular Schedule. I've gotten these messages in the past, they seem to come and go for a couple weeks at a time. This is the first time, though, that it has really messed up my guide data. When I...

I've had service from Bell for almost 3 years now through a broker. I'm thinking of getting away from them and establishing service on my own. I have a friend with a cabin in Ontario whose address I could use. I've had no problems with the broker, I'd just like to try and save some money and...

I have a Bell 6131 receiver with an external hard drive to turn it into a PVR. When I open my recorded shows list today, I saw that everything I recorded before April 12th was gone. I had plenty of room on the hard drive, I haven't touched my setup at all, and to knowledge there hasn't been any...

These overflow channels for college football games have been hit or miss for me all season. Today (11/12) the guide shows Kentucky @ Vanderbilt on 664 & 664-1, Fox Sports Detroit Plus. However, all I see when I tune to this channel is the DirecTV logo screen. Fox Sports Detroit is my local RSN...

My AM21 does not seem to want to lock on channels as well as it used to. It used to do better on marginal channels than the internal tuner in my TV, but now my TV tuner appears to be the stronger of the two. Any ideas on why the tuner in the AM21 does not want to perform like it once did?

How do you get DirecTV to change the channel number in the guide for a local channel you are receiving from them off satellite? I know you're supposed to email Tribune Media Services to get a channel added or edited for OTA channels coming through the AM-21, but I can't find anything about...

I want to pick up WSBK temporarily for the ACC tournament. Does anyone know the cheapest package on Bell that carries this channel? I know it is available with some of the movie packs, but I was wondering if there were any other ones that Bell did not have on their website. Also, does anyone...

I have Bell service set up through a broker, so I don't have any access to my account. I would like to get my info so I can register online and subsequently sign in on the Bell app for my Droid and use the remote DVR function. Would it even be possible for a broker to provide me account info? If...

Need some clarification on the pick and pay option for Rogers Sportsnet HD for Bell. I called my broker today and they said I would have to get the Sports 2 pack to do the pick and pay for the HD. I was under the impression that the pick and pay was a standalone deal. Did something change or was...

I thought I noticed this a few days ago but am definitely seeing it now. All of the HD channels I get on Bell appear to be stretched SD. This is true for both the ones in the 800's and the ones in the 1000's. Is anyone else seeing this or is this just my problem? I've searched around but haven't...

I have been trying for two days to get my new Bell system pointed in the right direction. I cannot lock on a signal on 91 or 82 for the life of me. No matter how much I try adjusting the dish it's still at zero. I'm trying to get it setup on satellite 91 transponder 11. I have tried unhooking...

I called in today to move my service address to a new location and 7 hours after I called I'm still not seeing the new locals in my guide. The CSR did tell my to call if I did not see the new locals in the guide when I got to my new address, but I'm a bit nervous about calling them again. I told...

I had my DirecTV install done today and I plan on moving to hopefully get my locals for back home. I am in the Lansing area and want to try to get the Traverse City locals, so if anybody knows about how successful I might be with that, that info would be great. I was wondering how long should I...

As of right now, I am planning on getting DirecTV when I go back to school in East Lansing in September, though Comcast has been making it a little more difficult to switch with all the HD they've been adding. I have a few questions before I really get into the whole ordering process though so...
