    Subscribing to DirecTV in Canada

    wish i saw this earlier. Those guys are crooks. I emailed them once and got a similar rude response when i asked for two HD24's. These guys are just account stacking and im sure they will get shut down in no time. I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. amttg is more reputable however the...

    Canadian Shut Out

    Listen.. to make things very simple for the op... Good luck finding another broker! They have all pretty much been whipped out. You might get lucky n find someone that's willing to lend you a hand.. but besides that.. dont expect much. Only other way to get the service is Go down to what ever...

    how many times to you?

    Every day that HD Detroit locals were on 118.. for some reason it would always default to 61.5 witch i would get virtually no spot beam signal on. I now have 129 and thats a problem of the past :angel:

    Rumor NO MORE!, SpeedHD, FX HD & More THIS WEEK! (NOW LIVE)

    lol its funny when i read these threads. Up north in Canada Speed HD was like one of the first non network HD channels to hit Starchoice/Belltv. I'd be willing to bet most up north would be willing to trade that channel to get something like spike HD for even 1/2 a day. :p

    lol some shows that play on MavTV are as follows... Bikini All stars,Girly Ghost Hunters,STAG: A Test of Love, and other shows like car racing, mechanics, etc.. so its like a mix of HD net with the Half naked women and Spike with the Cars, and other original series. Sounds interesting...
