    Can’t get Shaw to work any more

    Mike, Thanks for the advice. You're right. this whole project is turning to be more trouble than it's worth. I know I'm on the correct satellite. The guy helping me is an old Dish installer. He had his own meter. I bought a Freesat V8 Satellite Finder DVB S2 Signal Meter from Amazon. Both of...

    Mike, thanks for the info. I may look to eBay to see if I can find an older Quad LNB. I have bought a new Shaw dish And receiver. Is the new LNB a XKu one? Shaw can send a hit to the new receiver. The trip count goes up. Also it downloads the channels logos in the program guide. Shouldn’t the...

    Can’t get Shaw to work any more

    Now wait a minute. I didn’t see where anyone tried to help me. I got a Smart Alec comment. One guy said it must be the receiver. That’s why I bought a new receiver. That’s all I saw.

    Cannot get a Shaw receiver to show satellite signal strength

    I do think, messing around with settings on the receiver Is what is wrong. I don’t know what are the correct settings. If someone could help me with that, I would be grateful. The signal level is zero. The little square next to the level is green.

    Cannot get a Shaw receiver to show satellite signal strength

    I had posted in a previous post that I was losing channels on my Shaw system. That was because they changed the F/G1 Anik so it doesn't reach where I am. I'm in North Georgia. Now. After that we had a bad storm. A limb hit the satellite dish and tore it up. I ordered a new Shaw dish and...

    Is Anik F2 the only Shaw Satellite available in the US?

    Is Anik F2 the only Shaw Satellite available in the US? I thought that there were 2 satellites. But, I'm only getting one. I'm in North Georgia.

    Shaw satellite

    I'm in Georgia. I hate the lose of all SD channels but I am getting a lot more HD channels than ever before. Is there a list anywhere of all the channels I can receive?

    Canadian Sat Thread?

    This sounds exactly like what is happening to me. I don't know if Shaw is worth it ($$) since I'm getting so few channels. I wish Bell's footprint reached back into the states.

    Lost Shaw signal

    I plugged the receiver directly into the LNB. I got a signal and a picture. That means the dish is aimed correctly. The problem is with the cable. I will check that on Saturday when I have time.

    Lost Shaw signal

    I'm going to check the cable by taking my receiver and plugging it directly into the LNB. I have a small TV that I can use. If I get a signal then it means something is wrong along the cable run.

    Lost Shaw signal

    Does anyone have an idea why I would lost my Shaw sat signal. It worked fine until a week and a half ago. Then disappeared. Signal strength is zero. I thought it might be because a tree has grown fuller for the summer. I had the tree trimmed back, so that isn't the problem. The system...

    Shaw in North Georgia possible or not???

    Does anyone know if it is possible to see Anik F1 107.3 & Anik F2 111.1 in north Georgia? I have been trying for over a month to tune in these satellites. Some online sat pointer pages say that they are over the horizon. My Long: 85º16'34"W Lat: 34º42'36"N

    Can not pick up Shaw in North Georgia

    Those are the coordinates I have been using. I went out and bought my own satellite meter. A First Strike brand. On the meter I am receiving a 82% signal. Nothing on the receiver. Could I have a bad receiver? Should I send it back to KU Sat and get a new one? Can't be the LNB because it...
