Trying to sub In canada.

**boavista** · 01-30-2009 10:38 PM

Ok guys my Normal Canadian tv bev sub contract is over. I cant stand their 720P waterd down HD anymore. I'm wanting to Setup my directv sub again. I probably cant use the same receiver that i did before because can-am was shut down,but im willing to buy a new one if that's what it takes. Problem is Brokers are basically impossible to find. Anyone have any info on how i can get setup again. If need be Please PM me if you have some kind of Connection. Im not looking for any FTA or any of that nonsense. Im looking for a Directv sub that i can pay my bill and enjoy good tv. If anyone knows any brokers still in action, or some other reliable means please PM.

Thanks in advanced guys.

Lol, oh trust me,

you have either set up issues, or you weren't wathing an hd program. 720p is hd, no matter how you spin it.

Well the debating aside, Did anyone that used to go through Can-Am ( The Dtv and Echo* broker not the other one) have any success in finding another dealer? im so tired of the sim subbing and lack of HD channels. Once again if anyone has any broker info Please post or PM me.. Also interested in dish if anyone has hook ups. Thanks guys.

What debate? You said that 720p is watered down hd. It's not. Don't try to legitimize your position. As far as subbing in Canada, I suspect no one else has responded because it's not legal to have Directv in Canada.

720P is HD, true enough, but Bell is dowrezzing their HD channels like crazy and that is what he is referring to. They take 1080i material, change it to 720p and then downrez and bit starve it so it looks like 480p.

Correct!
But it could make for cool TV! How about a show.....theme music from Thunder Road with shots of Robert Mitchum doing a moonshine run.....The installation tech loads up for another run.."North". They get the boxes to the TV thirsty Canuks and load the van with whiskey (Canadian of course) HEY?

The return trip is just as tough. Homeland Security awaits. "So? Are you bringing anything back from Canada we should know about?" The boarder is so tight they have to float the van across the lake........in winter.........with the tech using jet assist pods to move the van on the ice flows......

Ohoooo, I got to go, just wet myself!

Bookem, Danno!

If he had said that in the beginning, he wouldn't look so foolish now.
