    Shaw Equipment need to be replaced by June 5, 2018

    Update. World Direct Dish did not work, while Slimline did work ok with the triple xku. Took the plunge and ordered a 75E dish and Triple XKU LNB after conferring with some experts on this forum (thanks showtime and mike kohl). I am now getting 90+ signal strength and around 6 to 6.5 signal...

    Shaw Equipment need to be replaced by June 5, 2018

    Thanks. The Word Direct dish says it's arm is for 95/101 (2 LNBs). do you think that arm will be able to work with the Triple XKU LNB? Assuming i get the XKU LNB from you, i still need the world direct dish and the Arm to be able to hold the XKU Triple lnb, right??

DIRECTV 36REFR0 36-inch Satellite Dish for International - Free Shipping! I suspect that the mounting arm/bracket is...

    Shaw Equipment need to be replaced by June 5, 2018

    Showtime: I sent a PM (assume via conversation). I live in Dallas TX and currently have 2 Patriot 85-E dishes, each with KU LNBs, all connected by a DTV 8 switch. I am moving and new place DOES NOT like dishes, so am thinking, my options are: (1) get the new Shaw Direct Triple xKU LNB and see...

    Shaw Direct Lost HD/Anik F2 channels - Help needed, down in Dallas!

    Update. Finally got to the dish on the wall again this weekend. Followed instructions and patiently repointed the dish at 111. I now get over 90% signal on both 85 cm dishes with EcbNos in the low 7s. I guess that's the best I could do, considering I am in North TX. The good news with all...

    Shaw Direct Lost HD/Anik F2 channels - Help needed, down in Dallas!

    Update: Confirmed dish (on roof) is now pointing to 107. All: To do what Frenchophile proposed, I ran a line from the dish (or extended the line where it went into the switch) directly to TV. When I did that, I saw green signal. But I could not tune into any of the 111 chanels (like 300...

    Shaw Direct Lost HD/Anik F2 channels - Help needed, down in Dallas!

    Thank you. I will probably have to await my installer (for the cable run and ladder to switch the cabling to run from dish (on the roof currently routed via switch ) directly to receiver. If it works (like you outline), it's a switch. I am wondering if when I do what you propose (possibly...

    Need help - Lost my Intertional Channel (no longer being sold a-la-carte)

    I made my biggest mistake today chatting with Dish Loyalty via web to complain about Cricket World cup 2011 pricing (free for new customers w/vonage, $129 for existing) and agent offered to offset cost of my ordering the Cricket World Cup package by offering $5 per month off for 6 months. 2...

    Cricket World Cup 2011

    It's $149 on Directv. Last time around (2007), I believe E* shared their signal with Directv, but E* subscribers had more content (highlights, ability to watch online). This time, AFAIK, Directv has the rights and sharing it with E*. I wonder if Directv subscribers get the free extras (for a...

    Value for my 3 yr-old Starchoice 505HD receiver?

    Thinking of getting rid of one of my SC receivers (505HD, the other one is the problematic 530). Being located southside (north tx), trying to understand what would be the fair value for a clean, self-owned DSR 505 HD? Also, I am not sure if I can find any interest in local listings...

    Thank you Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, the enclosure has already been ordered. I will pick one of these AV or AV-GP drives and post back once I enable EHD. From what I hear, the enclosure's fan is loud and the LCD is too bright too. Thankfully, I should be able to point it...
