Canadian Satelite in Oregon
ADVERTS 1
Welcome,
I am sorry if this topic has been already covered. I am a Canadian living in US in Oregon, and I would like to watch Canadian TV which I am missing so much.
Are there are any tips, dealer contacts, helpful information, tutorials, anything I need to know, to install such system? Where to buy it, what kind, what provider, tips to install, etc...
Any help from people who already have done this?
One more question: I am planning to go to British Columbia for one day to purchase a set. Because I haven't been in Canada for last 10 years, I don't know anymore which retail stores sell satellite systems. Any information?
Thank youLast edited by GeneralLumiere; 01-07-2010 at 01:31 PM.

might want to try KUSAT.com
I once used a dealer in the Vancouver area, but he's now out of the biz.

Vancouver BC or Vancouver WA? BC dealers are no help for me as I live in Oregon.

Technically, from the vantage point of Canaidan Satellite Provders, there is no such thing as an "American Customer". You are delving into the realm of the "grey market". While this isn't necessarily bad, there are some technecalities and possible gotcha's.I couldn't find there anything for US customers
I have not done business with the company to which you have been recommended, but I have seen nothing but good reports from those who have.
If you would like more details about "grey market" TV before you make a move, send me a PM.

Proud Staff MemberI purchased my Starchoice system from Kusat and had it shipped to my address in Minneapolis
as joshuals noted there is no thing as an "American Customer"...you are a customer with a Canadian address using it outside of Canada

A little off-topic, but.....I purchased my Starchoice system from Kusat and had it shipped to my address in Minneapolis
Some time ago I remember you had a quad lnb failure and you stated at the time you could not find a replacement.....doesn't KuSat sell the quad lnb's as a single item?

Proud Staff MemberI found out it ended up being the receiver but I did have some issues with the quad getting lower signals on one polarity Originally Posted by joshuals
