It's always been a struggle for good television in Thunder Bay, CHFD and CKPR are both notoriously poor for switching into programs a few minutes late, and lousy picture and sound quality. If anything, hopefully this makes one station more desirable for sale, there are many rumors circulating...

Could I use something like this: Zinwell Wide Band WB68 and hook up the two feed running into the building and then output to three? Or would I need all four to output to more than two?

Hello, I have a Starchoice installation on the roof of my office. At present I have two coax runs going into an HD receiver and an old SD receiver. All is working well but I've decided to add a third receiver (new HD box). I have a LM-2738-SC on the dish, is it possible to put a splitter...

Good luck with your SC install, I did one last year in Stuart, a little ways North of you, worked like a charm.

That's what I thought, I'll get one of the SC stock dishes, does it have to be 30' or will 24' be ok?

I picked up my equipment from DVBSource as follows: 1 x Elliptical Dish with 2 LNBs link: http://www.dvbsource.com/Satellite-Dish/Elliptical-Dish-with-2-LNBs/ 1 x 3FT Tripod includes Mast (Pole) 2 x 22KHZ Switch link: http://www.dvbsource.com/Switches/22KHZ-Switch/ RG6 throughout...

Great, I was up on the roof yesterday and besides all of the old cat bones (how cats get onto the roof of a two story building ?) there are two runs of RG-6 into the building running through the AC, so my life just got a whole lot easier. Thanks for the help and advice.

Is there a good way to test the old receivers? They've both been shelved for at least a few years. So, RG11 with in line amplifiers, should I get the amplifiers that have an ac adapter or are the units that draw power from the line itself acceptable? Thanks again.

I've inherited a bit of a problem and hope you guys can help answer a few of my questions. I'm going to install a new SC system on the roof of a two story office building. I have no issues with lines of sight, and mounting the dish shouldn't be a problem. We'll likely get a tripod and...

Has A&E HD been removed from the HD programming block? I subscribe to the basics, movies, a few packs and HD, and tonight A&E HD tells me that I need to subscribe to it. This is silly, their HD programming block should cover all HD, if they've started moving things around, I'll dump it and get...

Yes, I've tried checking the switch, and ended up with all X's. After watching pixelated shaw digital for an hour and getting frustrated, I remembered power cycling my old 2700 which brought it back to life a few summers ago, and low and behold after being plugged back in after 5 minutes...

Hopefully one of the knowledgeable members here can help me with a weird issue I have with my BEV 9200. After being off for a few weeks, two and a half to be exact, when I turned on my 9200 yesterday it couldn't get a signal. I've checked all of the connections and I'm getting 90%+ signal...

Thanks to the great advice I received on this board a few months ago I was able to get SC working well in West Palm Beach, and I loved being able to watch Canadian coverage of the Olympics. However, I still can't get the guide, only the channels which come in clear and strong. I've adjusted the...

Yes, I've been able to activate the system using a relatives billing address, and I was able to get a good signal and all of the subscribed channels while in the US. Now I just have to get it working up here with all of the rain and snow.

I'm in Thunder Bay, Ontario, about three and a half hours North of Duluth, not sure if that puts us in the East or West, because we're pretty close to the center of Canada. I'm actually installing it on my office desk, but the nearest window is in a server room. Stupid question, but does the...

I bought a Roady 2 and home kit while in the U.S. and am attempting to point the supplied antenna. I can't seem to pull in any sort of signal, are there any tips? Once I lock in a signal I'd like to mount the antenna on the wall or ceiling, is one better than another? Thanks for any help.

I can see the channel name next to the channel number in the top of the screen, and the call letters/sign of the channel, but no programming information or guide. I will unplug from the wall, leave it for five minutes, plug it back in and hopefully that will resolve it. Or should I not waste my...

Do I call *C for that, or is it something I can initiate?

I'm having a weird problem, at first I thought it was because the receiver hadn't downloaded the guide information yet, but it's been at least 24-48 hours and there still isn't any guide information, and while the channels display the channel title i.e. CTV - Thunder Bay, it will not display the...

Well, I've been able to pull in +9.4, and here I thought the signal meter was useful, but the instant I took it off and had someone relaying numbers, boom, out of the purgatory that is -1.0 & -0.9. Thanks for all of your help. Any advice on activating SC service? I bought the receiver through...

Thanks for the help ultatryon, I'll climb up the ladder yet again and hopefull pull it right in within an hour or two.

Thanks bwaldron, that seemed to have done the trick. However, I am unable to get a decent signal. I have a 75e dish with quad lnb from KUSat, a 315 receiver and about 30' of RG6 in between. I've also been using a sat finder that has proven very useful for BEV installations before, even down...

I'm installing a 75e dish with quad LNB North of West Palm Beach Florida. I have a quick question about the cabling to the dish. Do I need to put a switch in the line like with my BEV system in Canada? Or do I just run one straight line of RG6 from the LNB to the receiver? If I only have to run...

Any word on potential new HD channels? Or is that just a rumour at this point?

Probably not applicable to yourself, but some South of the border use *C or BEV for RobTV and monitoring Canadian investments and the economy. However, TPB would be reason enough to subscribe, can't wait for the next season.
