Have you looked at any of the fiber solutions? Pace International has been doing MDU for a long time and they might be able to help you out integrating all the disparate systems.

Can you clarify a little? Are you using two separate 1.8s? Did you have any difficulty with 107? I tried in Guatemala and only was able to lock in 111.

As Iceberg said, you will need a STANDARD, not Universal, linear polarized LNB for SC. Go with Mike, he's knowledgeable and won't steer you wrong!

IMO this is the best way to do it. I handled all my activation process myself, got a TO phone number added to my Vonage line and all is good. Activated paperless billing from the get-go, with zero hassles so far. An added plus is that the *C CSR's are so damned FRIENDLY! LOL! I love...

Try unplugging/replugging the receiver first. By resetting it you force it to download the guide again.

Probably cheaper to get Vonage with a Canadian number in the long run, and switching over to Vonage altogether, with a US secondary (alternate) number. Monthly rate: $25/unlimited calls, $15/500 min in US/Can. Secondary number: $4.95/mo

I believe miguelaqui was talking about StarChoice not BEV. My suggestion is get rid of the broker, get yourself a Vonage Canadian line and do the sub yourself. Then you can call anytime for PPV's, and have the receiver connected all the time. I used to work with Freeway (terrible...

THX! :up

Argh... since we're using separate dishes I forgot I only had one LNBF! LOL Well, it seems to work ok, looks like *C has been moving some channels around the sats, and that was mostly the cause for the confusion. I was using the lyngsat chan list and obviously (what else is new) it's wrong...

I wanted to report that we got a 97 (!) signal strength on 111.1. (1.8m dish, Invacom 0.3db LNBF) Now comes the tough test: 107.3... wish me luck guys! EDIT: GOOD NEWS! we got signal from 107.3!!! Now, the problem is we only get partial signal. Is there a way to fine tune for the...

Thanks for the help guys :D I'll be running the tests tomorrow, hope we can get both sats!

Well I got my receiver (Thanks Me-At-Work!) and will do some tests this week. We'll be using a round offset 1.8m dish for the tests. Is it still necessary to adjust the LNBF skew with round dishes? Is it easier to skew the dish itself or the LNBF? I sure hope we can get F1R down here...

Hey thanks! By what I read, it seems that 1.8's will do. If it weren't for the lack of HD content, GLA from Puerto Rico could be a viable option, but I'm addicted now and couldn't think of going back to SD. :D

For some time now I've been curious about SC. I'm down in Guatemala and before Anik F1R went into service, it was pretty easy to pull F1 in down here. Since then I haven't been able to experiment, and from reading all the posts, there seems to be little hope of getting that bird down here...
