    ExpressVu satellite back in 1998?

    Yes, most of them. They used Nagravision card in the receiver. Back then if you aimed at a Dish Network satellite, the receiver would down load Dish Network's software and you could see the unencrypted barker channels. Most of the rest were scrambled. When you reaimed the dish to anik satellite...

    ExpressVu satellite back in 1998?

    Yes you needed a Bell Expresvu ird to watch the channels because they were scrambled. When they moved to there own satellite at 91w ,you just needed to remove old lnb add new lnb and repoint the dish. I was watching 91w within 10 minutes of watching on 107. Sent from my P00A using Tapatalk

    Any use for my old Shaw receiver/Dish set up?

    You could aim it at 95w to get the cctv channels, it won't work on more popular sats because it is a bit small. Then just use a switch to connect to you Cband system. Sent from my P00A using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Bell expressVu

    It is standard definition only so in my opinion it is a 10 year old boat anchor. Sent from my LG-M153 using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Birdog USB Plus locking on both Bell 82 & 91 simultaneously.

    The QPH-031 is a special lnbf that will pick up circular satellites when connected to the CR or CL ports. It will also pick up linear satellites when connected to the LH or LV. It picks both satellites at the same orbital position, ie if you aim the dish at the nimiq satellite at 91w with the...

    Nimiq 4 strength

    Ice, you might be on the edge of the beam. In Thunder Bay they are all up in the 80's now where they used to be in the 60's. Similar to the echo spot beam from 110 trans 4 spot 28 is about 30% lower for me than the conus transponders are.

    Dish Network DVR Model 510 work for BEV?

    Short answer is no. The card for your 3100 will only work in the reciever it came with. ExpressVu will not sub Dish recivers and Dish will not sub ExpressVu recievers. If you want to use a pvr on expressvu you will have to get an expressvu pvr and then sub it with them.

    Bigger Dish for Expressvu

    I just used a slot srewdriver. Put it in the grove in the middle of the housing and pry slightly, then move to a different spot in the same slot and repeat. Once it starts to open you can see the tabs that hold the two havles together. If you are gentle with it it wont break the tabs off, and...

    Delivery to USA - Best Way

    UPS is the worst to use for cross border shipments. I learned this after the fact. Since I'm in Canada, I don't know if Canada Post charges extra to the States, but when I order anything from the US, I get it shipped via USPS or FedEX ONLY. UPS ends up at least $20 more due to their cross...

    New SC Install on 2 Story Office

    I have to agree with Ice, a 24" dish will work fine. Almost all the SC dishes here are the 60E (24" elliptical) except for a few real old ones. The Anik birds seem to be more powerfull than most of the FSS birds. In fact when Bev was on the Anik bird (untill about 98) they also only used a...
