    Random loss of signal - need help trouble shooting

    I was also watching the Montreal -v- Bruins on SN360 and the services dropped off twice, a few minutes apart. I switched to my Dish with NHL CI and received a strong signal and continued to watch the game. This happened in the first period, in the third period I switched back to the Bell feed...

    Paying Bell bill with USA credit card

    I've been using a Capital One card for 5 years or better. It may be best to use a major card, not one from a local Credit Union or bank located only in your state.

    Frustrated

    I had the same problem, and did cut down a few trees. I'll bet money his problem is capacitors in the 9242 reciever. I posted here about my problems, same as his and found the answer at the digital home site. He can fix his issue for about $2.00 Loss-of-signal-at-45-Lat? was the post...

    Loss of signal at 45 Lat.

    Over at the Bell Digital site for my receiver, 9242, a person posted he had the same problem. He found that a few capacitors in the receiver were swollen and that upon replacing them his problems were over. On further searching, I found another site and three capacitors were singled out as...

    Loss of signal at 45 Lat.

    I got off my butt and did the test myself. I tapped into the 91 satellite and the receiver showed a signal strength of 95. It couldn't tell me which satellite I was picking up, figure this is from newer system or the switches now in place. Anyway, I know my setup is good, but the receiver has...

    Loss of signal at 45 Lat.

    I've dug out my old Bell 3100 receiver and I'm wondering if I hooked up to either the 91 or 82 cable would it give me a signal strength reading? Some folks at the Canadian Digital site have discussed that my problem could be the 9242 recvr. The 3100 is left over from the Florida connection days...

    Loss of signal at 45 Lat.

    Is there a certain one meter dish that I could use with the existing LNBs. Where could it be purchased from? Would a older "Dish" dish work? Which one ,,, Thanks

    Loss of signal at 45 Lat.

    I just finished realligning all, still a weak signal. Could the receiver be the problem, do they lose signal reception. I've never heard of this but there are other threads on a Canadian 9242 Digital site.

    Loss of signal at 45 Lat.

    I've had a Bell 22" dish with a 9242 receiver for 5 years plus, but last week during the playoffs I noticed the signal breaking up. I used to have readings of high 80s to mid 90s on signal strength. Now Sat 82 is showing high 50s and 91 in the high 60s. Has the foot print change effected me...

    Signal is weakening

    I live in Northern Wisconsin, east of Minneapolis, 45 degree latitude. Lately it appears my signal is weakening, CBC channel 1030 and TSN (1400) break up like a storm is approaching. I switch to other CBC channels (1050 & 1150) and they come in fine. Signal strength on Sat 82 is lower 60s and...

    One reason to get BEV/SD in the US

    The coverage by CTV in my opinion was great, so much so that I felt sorry for those in the US watching the NBC broadcasts. A friend stopped over and commented on the lack of or how so few commercials on TSN/CTV stations. I did notice where CTV has started the short biographies and stories...

    Trouble Activating system

    I purchased a Bell 9242 from Ebay.Canada, couldn't find another since Bell has stopped making them. The Ebay seller had sold nearly a dozen previously, good record. Claimed they were brand new and packaging appeared so. I contacted a potential broker, agreed to his contract and gave the serial...
