Down in Corpus I've had *C for years, and I've lived in Corpus Christi for the last three. I have the 75cm dish and have only had a few signal issues...during heavy rain storms. As for an installer I'm sure you could find a satellite company in the Metroplex that will do a *C install for...

New Guide - arrived :D My new guide arrived overnight... I knew something was up when the lights on my 505 were lit, but the box was off. I only had a few minutes to check it out this morning, but I was very pleased to see how fast the guide loaded and how much faster the picture returned...

Me too.. I've been having the Jeopardy! theme run thru my head this week, every time I think about the new StarChoice guide. Also is anyone else starting to groan over the fact the CDN$ is almost at parity with the US$? Aah, I miss those days of getting my satellite service at a 40% discount!

I know on the 505 there is a little red button behind the StarChoice logo on the front of the reciever and after pushing the button several times I found the right setting that would allow the SD programs to auto resize to fill the screen w/o using any zoom buttons. Just by looking at a...

Is TBS approved So if WTBS is an approved superstation in Canada, is the network TBS an approved network? If Starchoice were smart, they would put the national TBS feed on 529 and leave the WTBS "Peachtree" feed on 650. I also wonder if Turner will shutter the WTBS local feed on satellite...

Holy Toledo Batman! Well guess that can of worms has been really opened! I knew that audio drop-outs coming in or out of a commercial break is caused by the local affiliate switching between their SD local and HD network feeds. I work for a network affiliate and that drop-out happens...

Over the past few weeks has anyone noticed the audio drop out on WJBK's HD feed on *C channel 287? It's been tough to watch NASCAR and shows like House when the audio feed goes silent for 3-5 seconds. I haven't seen the issue on the other HD stations. Just wondering if it's happening to...

I made my programming change today .... So nice to have the real "Chicago's Very Own"

I'd love the opportunity to FTA! Corpus Christi, Texas, USA

WGN Local I have SO missed WGN Morning News. I always loved their anchor Robin Baumgarten ... (I watched her when she was just the traffic reporter). I don't have the movies or superchannel pack, but I'll change it back just to see the WGN Morning News. Please let us know if they make...

Unfortunately US syndex laws do a lot to prevent cable and satellite networks from carrying Canadian station in the US. With the help of Wikipedia, here's a quick explanation... With that said, it's highly unlikely your local affiliate will let a Canadian cable or satellite providers into...

I used to work for WTOL, and they were big on saying hi to viewers in Canada every morning. The used to get lots of mail from their Canadian viewers. But when WWJ got approved, most systems switched. I believe the only systems that still carry WTOL are SW Ontario cable systems. Windsor...

*C in Texas ... no problems I live in Corpus Christi, and have had *C for several years. I suggest making sure you get a 75cm dish, the signal quality will be much better especially on the HD channels. I have two receivers and have had no problems with my broker with activating them. You...

"BreakfastTelevision", "CityLine", "CityNews at Noon", "CityNews at Six" and "CityNews at 11" will be broadcast in high definition, beginning in September, 2006. With its announcement, Citytv is positioning itself to deliver the first daily newscast in Canada broadcast in HD. The...

Figured er out! As it usually does.... the solution comes to me after I query help. The little red button inside the front door selects the resolution.
