    NAFTA and dishes???

    It boils down to money -- most especially programming content being licensed for transmission separately in each country.

    shawdirect help

    That's what I've been subbed to for some time now (basically as a supplement to DirecTV). It was nicer back when Sportsnet was turned on for Digital Basics folks (a mistake which went on for months, until they added HD feeds for each regional Sportsnet).

    AMC HD on SD

    Yeah, it seems to be a pretty "quiet" launch at this point. There's a thread over at AVSForums w/ more discussion.

    AMC HD on SD

    There is indeed such a animal (TCM HD). It's fairly new, and on some Cablevision, Comcast, and TWC cable systems.

    Watching Canadian HD hockey channels in Seattle

    Yes and no. There's certainly enough of a market to make Center Ice a viable proposition. However, paying the providers for HD Canadian feeds would mean a price increase for that package, which is likely not a cost-effective move.

    Watching Canadian HD hockey channels in Seattle

    True, but not really the issue at hand regarding the NHL and other sports packages. We're talking about individual games, not channels per se. We have gotten Sportsnet and even RDS games in Center Ice down here, just not in HD. We used to get CBC games before the NHL Network started showing them...

    Watching Canadian HD hockey channels in Seattle

    Center Ice via U.S. cable (or FIOS) provides very few HD games. Dish & DirecTV would get far more HD games, but generally not the Canucks via Sportsnet -- you'd get the broadcast from the U.S. network carrying the game, if any. The U.S. version of the NHL Network also carries Hockey Night in...

    US Nets on SC

    They replaced FOX Detroit with Rochester awhile back due to problems. I don't know if the plan is for that to be permanent.

    Nimiq 4 strength

    They lost me (in Florida) back in August of 2004, when they moved a bunch of transponders to Nimiq3. And Star Choice gained me.

    Starchoice install in Southwest, how hard dish size?

    Of course. Been over 3 years since I installed my 75E, but I'm pretty sure I just used Anik F2 @ 111 for aiming/peaking the dish.
