already checked out "Directtvnow.com" however, the channel I am looking for is not listed there not even in the most expensive $70 Gotta Have It package only 120 channels.....very poor selection

I am looking for a broker to purchase Direct TV service in Canada Is it possible at all ? Does any broker exist ? Thanks!

There are 2 Polish scrambled channels on 97W TP21...TV Polonia and Tele5 Both encrypted, but I am getting a decent signal. Anybody knows who is selling these channels, where can I buy it, how much, etc..... Thanks!

sounds like it would not worth the effort [ lots of work, dish would get heavier (extra plate)] Thanks for all the replies!

From the replies, I think I did not described the situation clearly: I am planning to take of the rotating mechanism from an unused Bell dish It has 2 parts: Part 1 is attached to the back of the dish with 4 bolts, Part2 is which goes to the pole.....and these two part a held together with 2...

The dish I called round is a 21" wide, and 22" tall, has a Y shaped dual LNB holder and it has a canadian satellite provider logo printed on it. I am thinking to take of the rotating mechanism and use it on a 30" qsat dish, which is already in use for fta, works fine for 30,72,89,97,101 My...

I got this rarely seen lnb, round shape, ku band circular single lnb, lo=10.750 Ghz, Input=11.70-12.75 Ghz, NF=0.5 dB seems like the frequency (11.70-) is fine for fta, however the circular polarization is a problem thinking of taking off the front cap and removing inside the plates to make...

89w ABC channels did some investigation---switch OK, cables OK---adjusted dish---up 2 mm, and rotated 2mm --- got 89w channels back :) looks like the wind+dish weight managed to pull out slightly (2mm) one of the top plastic inserts inside the holes on the wall, which are holding the...
