Really? I did a test several months ago with my 405. I received a number of "in the clear" channels including Knowledge network and Alberta legistlative channel. I should try it again.

Might be a dumb question but here it goes... Would a previously-activated SC box be able to receive the free previews? I was a subscriber until about 2 years ago. I still have the box (DSR-405) and can turn my dish to point at the Anik satellites.

I presume NFL-ST is a US channel. In which case SC probably won't be able to carry it until there's another Canadian HD channel they can bring on as well. Canadian Content rules courtesy of the CRTC.

Is that a function of being able to receive all the transponders or is it something unique to the box? My parents have been EVu subscribers for many years (only pointed at 91w) and their 5900 PVR in the all channel mode shows pretty much everything that Lyngsat has listed for 91w. Granted...

The ExpressVu guide lets you select "All Channels" or "All Subscribed".

Well, for starters you'll need an ExpressVu receiver. I don't know if you can buy just the receiver if you're not already a subscriber -- i.e. they may force you to get the full deal including box, dish and lnb. As far as reusing your Dish hardware, the lnb, coax and switches (if applicable)...

If you decide to go with EVu you can re-use the existing Dish hardware. Both providers use the same equipment.

Well, a bigger dish is probably your only option at this point. If the footprint doesn't quite reach your area there isn't much else you can do. You could certainly try using separate dishes for 82 and 91, with a bigger one pointed at 82.
