Please read my reply in the other message about this. "Can't get Shaw to work anymore." Thank you.

Mike, Thanks for the advice. You're right. this whole project is turning to be more trouble than it's worth. I know I'm on the correct satellite. The guy helping me is an old Dish installer. He had his own meter. I bought a Freesat V8 Satellite Finder DVB S2 Signal Meter from Amazon. Both of...

Mike, thanks for the info. I may look to eBay to see if I can find an older Quad LNB. I have bought a new Shaw dish And receiver. Is the new LNB a XKu one? Shaw can send a hit to the new receiver. The trip count goes up. Also it downloads the channels logos in the program guide. Shouldn’t the...

I just now read the reply from Mike Kohl. It has a lot of helpful information. It is experts like him that I’m asking for help from.

Now wait a minute. I didn’t see where anyone tried to help me. I got a Smart Alec comment. One guy said it must be the receiver. That’s why I bought a new receiver. That’s all I saw.

For years, I’ve had a Shaw dish that worked fine. Before that a Bell dish. All of a sudden in late May it stopped receiving anything. I fine tuned my dish and still nothing. Bought a new dish. i know I can only receive F2 111.1 where I am. In North Georgia. So I aimed for that. Get different...

I do think, messing around with settings on the receiver Is what is wrong. I don’t know what are the correct settings. If someone could help me with that, I would be grateful. The signal level is zero. The little square next to the level is green.

I had posted in a previous post that I was losing channels on my Shaw system. That was because they changed the F/G1 Anik so it doesn't reach where I am. I'm in North Georgia. Now. After that we had a bad storm. A limb hit the satellite dish and tore it up. I ordered a new Shaw dish and...

Is Anik F2 the only Shaw Satellite available in the US? I thought that there were 2 satellites. But, I'm only getting one. I'm in North Georgia.

I'm in Georgia. I hate the lose of all SD channels but I am getting a lot more HD channels than ever before. Is there a list anywhere of all the channels I can receive?

This sounds exactly like what is happening to me. I don't know if Shaw is worth it ($$) since I'm getting so few channels. I wish Bell's footprint reached back into the states.

I wish they were where we could post to them. I have a question about my Shaw Direct channels not being received any more.

I plugged the receiver directly into the LNB. I got a signal and a picture. That means the dish is aimed correctly. The problem is with the cable. I will check that on Saturday when I have time.

I'm going to check the cable by taking my receiver and plugging it directly into the LNB. I have a small TV that I can use. If I get a signal then it means something is wrong along the cable run.

Does anyone have an idea why I would lost my Shaw sat signal. It worked fine until a week and a half ago. Then disappeared. Signal strength is zero. I thought it might be because a tree has grown fuller for the summer. I had the tree trimmed back, so that isn't the problem. The system...
