CCK That is my question at this point. What are we going to be missing by not getting G1? Seems to me that two sats are better than just one, Shaw vs. Bell. Also Bell did not accommodate ppl that were south of the Canadian border. Oddly enough it is not illegal in the US to receive Canadian...

Not true. I have told CSRs in the past that I am using SD in the us. It is fine, they even have a home away from home program with Shaw Direct Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Mike Your point is well taken. I only have the 60cm dish so I knew that I didn't have a prayer of receiving anything. BTW the reason that I have the 60 is that that is what they sent to me in Toronto last year when I cancelled Bell and went with shaw. It has worked well until now, I suppose...

I guess that there's no chance that Shaw can tweak this footprint. Is there? Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Nothing for G1 here. But I think my dish is off. Some channels are in the 80-90 range, like 148. MSNBC. @ 88 but others like 334 FX HD are at 50. I think that I need to go tweak the dish. Does anyone have a list of which channels are on which satellite? Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys...

BayGuy Thanks. I will, but I know that MiguelAqui is a bit north of me and has a 75cm dish. I have only a 65cm. I will check nonetheless Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

MiguelAqui You see nothing at all? Is it cloudy there today? I guess I have no hope here in western NC Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Miguelaqui Your message box is full. Just tried to PM you Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

I now have Shaw here in NC. I am curious as to how G1 will do. Hopefully better than Bell's 91. I dropped them last July Then they kept bugging me about not cancelling. David Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

Shaw Direct in North Carolina. I finished installing my new Shaw Direct system that I brought to North Carolina from Ontario this past weekend. A couple of points for those making the change from Bell. They will now send you the new xKU LNB for Triple Satellite service. (There will be a...

Just curious, have the signals on 82W changed for you? BTW, I received a letter from Bell that my 6100 HD box will not work after some date in. August 2012. They want to give me a new receiver. No thanks I've gone to Shaw Direct

Just got back to North Carolina last night and noticed that I have no TPs on Nimiq 4, 82W. It could be that there was heavy cloud cover (I don't think so), the dish has moved or something else is wrong. Has anyone else noticed a problem with 82W? Not really a big deal as I won't be using Bell...

When a company makes decisions that makes them lose paying customers, hence money, I don't see them spending any money. My Shaw system arrived yesterday, a day sooner than promised. It will be good to, as Romney puts it, "fire" bell.

Agreed on both points. I just find it ironic that even with the new footprint that rain fade is still an issue with the standard dish size.

Last night at about 21h15 a storm came through Mississauga, Ontario. I didn't look at weather radar, so I don't know how thick the cloud layer was, but... All TPs on the new Nimiq 6 @ 91w were lost . All TPs on Nimiq 4 @ 82w were lost as well. I had checked the signals the day before and as...

In Ontario for the while... Called Shaw Direct and got a great deal on service including a PVR-HD. It will be shipped to the house by Wednesday. Shaw has no problem with me carrying my system to the US. Will now cancel all Bell Tele accounts. Still don't understand how Bell thinks...

OK... I figured that that is what you were talking about. A good incentive to tilt the beam a little further south, don't you think?

What do you mean by that robtsk?

ChrisB3127: Thanks for posting this information. I was curious to see how signals looked further south. Has anyone else seen usable signals on Nimiq 6 closer to Virginia? I am in North Carolina and have lost all TPs on 91W with the original Bell Express-Vu dish. I am not sure if I will...

Agreed WRT DirecTV. But.. I was referring to the section A below. A. The STELA Directs the Commission to Create a Workable Framework That Will Enable Satellite Carriers to Offer Both the SV and Local Stations to Consumers 12 I was hoping that this would encourage DirecTV to be more proactive.

Does this new Report and Order, 10-193, from the FCC found here -> http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-10-193A1.doc Do any thing for getting SV moving on DirecTV and DishNetwork in the US???? Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter...

OK... Got it. BTW, I have a question. Is DishNetwork now offering French language programming in Canada? When I go to this news site -> Canoë Infos - International At times I get DishNetwork advertising.

Why did it take a long time to perfect?
