    Safe to connect receiver to router in Canada?

    I think I know the answer to this one but I'd love to hear if any Canadian subscribers have connected their receiver to a router for Directv on Demand. I'd assume this can not be done safely without Directv finding out you live in Canada. Oh, yes I know it's not legal to get Directv in...

    serious swm issues

    Directv with HD in Calgary

    I live in Calgary (Canada) and will be setting up a Directv system with HD. Anyone in the area know how good reception is here? I was considering the new Slimline 5 LNB dish. Is this the one to get or should I just get the older 3 lnb dish. Just want to make sure I get the right dish to give me...

    Dish 1000.2 vs 1000+

    Have a Dish 1000.2 setup and having some signal problems. Aways lose transponder 12 and 14 on 119. Of course 129 comes in pretty weak as well. I admit I live just north of the border in Calgary so signal is lower than in U.S. My question is would a Dish1000+ make a big difference in sat signal...

    dish 1000.2 signal in Canada

    Never had a problem with Dish signal until I moved to Calgary. I wanted HD so I bought VIP 211 along with the new dish 1000.2. Can't seem to get good signal. I peaked 199 at around 75, of course that means 129 is roughly at 55 (on a good day). Every time it rains or is really cloudy 129...
