Okay, i've posted about this before, but I am trying again to get a waiver. I get all four major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) in my area (I live in the same city they are based in). And I want to get Portland, Oregon (In the same state I am in) locals as well. So far I have sent a request for...

Hi everyone, I want to switch to DTV (I have Dish right now) by the end of the month. I was wondering, if I get the free DVR offer, what model of receiver will I get? Also, does a phone line NEED to be hooked up to all recievers or only DVR receivers? And finally, one more question: For those...

Hi, to all of you who have NHL Center Ice (through Dish Network), is it worth it to pay the 3 installments of $53 for it even after 2 months have passed? I'm a newcomer to Hockey and I am already hooked on it, I want to better learn the rules, and I figure the best way is just watching it. I...

Yea, I have heard that the seasons are a little behind, but thats only a slight disadvantage for someone who doesn't mind watching old episodes and waiting for a new season. Hockey would be worth it, and so would the few Canadian shows that I couldn't get on a US service or only get very little...

Sounds like for the most part *C is a good deal. Some day (probably within the year) I will get *C, and probably get rid of E* all together! my friends/guests might be a little confused or interested as to why my programming is so different when they come over, but thats all the more fun. All of...

I live in the northwest of the US so I don't get much hockey games that aren't blacked out (actually I don't think I get any). And I love hockey. Plus I love Canada & Canadian tv. I keep telling myself that i'll eventually get the money and buy a *C receiver and dish (I can't get BEV out here...

I have a kind of odd question but: I noticed that E* shows the CBC, TSN, & Rogers Sportsnet (which are Canadian channels) on the NHL Center Ice season ticket (for hockey games only). And I was wondering if E* also has package to be able to get some Canadian channels all the time? (I assume they...

I have my locals as per the Digital Home Advantage promo. But I was wondering if even though I have my locals, if I still qualify to receive distant locals from New York and still keep my locals too? I am not reffering to the superstations, I am reffering to actual distant locals. I am in...

I live in southwestern oregon so I am not sure if ExVu is avaliable, is it? I already got my hopes down and started to focus on *C as you can see from my other posts... which would be better for me? btw, i used freeway's (not the brokerage i plan on using) list of elevation and azimuths, and my...

By saying *C i am reffering to Star Choice, that's the only thing I can get, Bell ExpressVu isn't avaliable in my area :(

Hi, I was wondering if those who have *C think that it is really worth the money and "broker" fees? I have always been fond of Canada & Canadian programming. I'm just wondering if you get your money's worth. Is there anything that's better about it than say, E*? Thanx to those who reply! :)...

So, (no 1 is answering this question as if it's a taboo) It is nice and legal in the US to use a broker, and i'm not even gonna atract legal attention because of a *C dish on my roof? Is all this correct? Thanx. Oh, and Iceberg, I saw in your profile you have/had *C, correct? If so, is it any...

Not to sound like a newb, but: It is perfectly legal on my end (US Citizen) to go through a address/bill broker to get *C, as long as I use a true legit system and everything, correct? and by having a *C dish on my roof I wont atract legal attention, like "naughty, naughty, it may be legal but...

Can sum1 pm me a run-down on the equip and address brokers, which are best? i'm a newb at this, thnx!

Program brokers? Where could I get more info on this and how does it work? Could I buy expressvu equipment on ebay (from some1 in the US) ? If bell knew, would there be hell to pay?
