Thanks DJ, I'll give it a shot.

What are you watching on AMC 21? Claro?

Great pics! I will try to do something similar this weekend. I don't really have anything to point at with my other 3 antennas yet, but getting all SD on one antenna is a good start. I'm only hanging on to SD for the networks and NFL in HD as much of the other programming seems very repetitive...

When you have this lnb set-up install, post pics. I also am tying up 2 large antennas and would love to put all Shaw on one antenna.

CBS east in HD is on the F2 satellite on transponder 12 while the other east HD US networks are on transponder 15 on the same satellite. You might be just enough out of line to get tp 12 while not receiving tp 15. On tp 15, there is also CBC Regina in SD. Can you get that? If that cnannel is...

One more observation, the lnb arm needs to be the one made for the antenna as the focal point is specific to each diameter and shape of antenna. Using an arm from a smaller antenna would place your lnb inside of where the focal point of the signal is.

The larger eleptical Starchoice antenna should work if the signal strength is sufficient; I have read about folks in Guadalajara and maybe Mexico City with these and moderate signal unless it rains. It will be important to get your hands on the lnb that is made for that antenna as it is...

I have 99 signal strength on F1R using a 1.8m antenna and 94 on F2 using a 2.4m antenna in Villahermosa. I used 2 antennas as I already had them from a Dish installation; I imagine if I had to have bought them, I couldmhave had sucess on 1.2m or even smaller. If you already have a...

Alex, let me know if you get DTV up and going. I'm in Villahermosa and do not have a footprint here for those sats. I used to have DTV years ago but had been with Dish for the last 7 years after DTV sent up new sats. I have Shaw now and will for at least through football season. Its not that...

How did you swing getting both the east and west network feeds? I read on their site that you get one OR the other. They had the "OR" capitalized. I am signing up in the morning. Inam also excited tomget HD NFL Sunday Ticket. Their site didn't have any pricing or a confirmation if all games...

If i like the channels, I might buy the 630 later.

712 was not available from the channels so i fished around with channels and signal meter and finally found a channel from F2. I got 96 on F1R with a 1.8 (6ft) and 99 on F2 with a 2.4m (8ft). I installed the switch and will rig up the 530 and subscribe in the morning.

what channel should I use for capturing and tuning the F2 satellite? Again, with or without the switch? I appreciate your assitance!

i have gone up and pointed sucessfully at F1R with 96% and the signal bar in green on channel 299. I did not see an option to enter 4128 but assumed that all was locked for that satellite. When I went to my other antenna and try to get the F2 satellite in on channel 712 as I have seen...

You've got me worried! Is the 530 that bad? I have a 722 VIP now and really like the STB.

Alex, I was going to try and bring in F1R anmd F2 this weekend and then cancel my Dish subscription (crippled but somewhat functional after E14 and 61.5 moves) AFTER I am satisfied with Shaw. I am mostly interested in HD networks which I had before through AAD out of Chicago but signal issues...

What a shame that I just bought a 530 to try out the service and see if I like them (switching from E*). I have a Canadian address now and can ship there and pick up to hand carry back to Mexico. It will be interesting to see if the 630 is really a significant step up.

I, like DJ Dish, am in the process of abandoning Dish and am only waiting on my new lnbs to arrive to hook up the 530 Shaw receiver I bought on Ebay. I have 2x1.8m, 1x2.4m and 1x1.2m offset antennas. My plan is to connect the 1.2m to F1 and one of the 1.8m to F2. I am still left with another 1.8...

Please also confirm if the American Eagle 5x4 switch will work. If not I can buy a different switch. thanks

Thanks, I will order some different lnbs and try again. I tried to connect one of the other lnbs direct to my 530 and had no luck trying to find either of the shaw birds. I understand that I need to point at the F1 and have the receiver on channel 299. I assume that I will do this directly...

I am giving up on my 3 satellite Dish Network HD DVR system for southeast Mexico as I now only get 61.5 and 110 well and 119 has mostly vanished with the new E14. I have 2 x 1.8m and 1 x 2.4m antennas and want to re-aim to Anik F1R and Anik F2 at 107º and 111.1º with the two 1.8m antennas. I...
