Success!!! My problem ended up being a dish alignment problem. My elevation setting was off by 2 degrees. Evidently the wind was strong enough to change the setting - I thought I had that pretty well tightened down on the dish but it must have worked loose. These 59 year old eyes and the gray...

Well, my new 75e lnb came in today. Put it on the dish and still no luck. Again, the signal meter in the installation setup varied between 14 and 19 like it did with the original lnb - it would never go to zero when I moved the dish significantly off line. I did my own install twice before (...

Thursday afternoon update: No luck! I connected the lnb to the receiver with new RG6 cable. Same results as before. The signal meter in the installation setup screen would go up to 18 and then down to 13 as I adjusted the dish position. I know I can't be that far off from my good settings...

Hey everyone. Thanks for all the replies. Once it warms up a little outside my plan of action is to go back and recheck connectors and alignment. I've left the receiver unplugged overnight - not sure if that means anything. If that fails, I'm going to hookup my single lnb ku dish and point...

Something has happened to my Shaw Direct setup and I don't know what to do. I have the DSR505 receiver and 75e dish. All was working well until yesterday. We had some very high winds late yesterday and through the night to the extent that it blew my dish out of alignment very badly. I was...

I self-brokered Shaw Direct service about 2 months ago. I basically did as described in posts 48 &49 of the thread mentioned. However, I did not make up a phone number - I got a VOIP DID number for my "Canadian address city" and have it permanently call-forwarded to my cell phone here in the...

Thanks for the replies. When I previously had StarChoice service, I was with TVM which, I believe, is one of the best, if not the best broker to deal with. I was fully paid up when I terminated my service through TVM. The first CSR I spoke to yesterday asked for the receiver S/N. I gave it...

I used to have StarChoice service in the past through a broker. I had purchased the receiver and dish from Kusat. I disconnected the service about 2 years ago and am thinking about reactivating w/o broker. I called Shaw twice today and was told each time that, even though it is a used...

The following was excerpted from David Knox's column published in the Birmingham News or March 30, 2008. It's a good explanation of the Braves broadcast situation "But the Braves without TBS? Unthinkable, but beginning this season, it's true. TBS has gone big-time, landing a Sunday...
