With an audience of 8,000 out of 5,100,000 homes that were paying for it, Sun News was a disaster from the getgo. Just like Target found out, Canada ain't the US especially with a company controlled and run by a Quebec Separatist. Good riddance to the Rant & Rave Racist Channel.

"Not sure why they mapped a satellite out Of US coverage?" There were no more Ku Band slots available in the 103 to 119 arc. That's why they had to opt for a Canada only Extended Ku slot

Shaw Direct is same 22kz switching as DirecTV

There are 4 possible signal sources for a channel on SD - 107 Horizontal, 107 Vertical, 111 Horizontal + 111 Vertical. As a result 2 lines must be run to each PVR. The only time splitting works with Shaw is with an old stacked LNBF where reception is only required from 1 satellite.

Yes - you will get Anik F1R and F2

No

Most consumers won't save. There'll be a "must carry" package for $20 to $25/month plus a "must buy" 1 Canadian service for each American service. The potential losers are Bell and Shaw Cat 2 channels which show the same programs on 17 services and the Bell/Rogers sports channels when subs cut...

If he has a quad LNBF + 600 series receiver, he will get any channels changed to MPEG4. If he has older stacked (beer can style) LNBF, he will not.

I dislike when people say: I told you so. But to repeat what I posted before the G1 launch. " To avoid black screens on Detroit/Seattle HD channels when simsubs are authorized; if you are outside the footprint of G1, DO NOT INSTALL a XKu band LNBF" This applies to ALL postal codes.

NFLST will only be offered to subs with XKu LNBF + 6XX receivers. Last year, they offered standard def feeds on F1R in MPEG4 that required 6XX receivers. This year, all HD NFL feeds not available on Canadian locals + Rogers Sportnet channels will be placed on the 2 open transponders on G1...

Call Shaw Cable - they'll probably do a hardware swap for you

Obviously an invalid simsub code associated with the postal code your account is attached to. Someone in that area will call SD.

Not shown in IPG Shaw is putting Overflow games on 454 Classic (398 Advanced)

Shaw will continue to add channels to F1R/F2 as they convert transponders to MPEG4. Movietime HD was added today (ch 250 Classic Lineup)

You need to sign up for the Home Away From Home program. You will receive a 75 cm dish to take with you. Try to get one with a non xKu LNBF if you can.

Under the LTSS program, you have 1 year warranty and customer service on the receiver and dish. Disconnect the cable in from the dish at the receiver + power cord. Reconnect after 5 minutes. If this doesn't resolve the issue, call SD for a rehit.

Look for an installer who installs FTA syatems

"If I need to have the channels re-mapped, wouldn't I still be able to read the frequencies of the satellite, just not view the pictures?" No - the Extended Ku band LNBF has a local oscillator of 10.070 Ghz for 107.3. Your Birdog is looking for the standard Ku 10.750 frequency.

No- go for the 75cm dish to minimize rainfade

Since there are no G1 channels mapped, this will not be the issue. Most likely the installer pointed the dish at 107.3, it needs to be pointed at 111.1 (F2).

"Unfortunately Shawdirect recently changed their satellite coverage footprint and it is no longer possible to pick them up in central Florida"." Incorrect Correct statement is "Unfortunately Bell recently changed their satellite coverage footprint and it is no longer possible to pick...

The best LNBF for those outside G1 footprint is the non stacked Ku LNBF in order to get channel maps for F1R/F2 only. The stacked Ku LNBF has no MPEG4 maps.
