this might be a dumb question, but is your mast plumb?

A company called DAZN has purchased exclusive rights to Sunday Ticket, Redzone and Gamepass in Canada. These will be available via streaming only. Bell Media (CTV/TSN) still has rights to broadcast Sunday afternoon double headers, Sunday Night and Monday Night football, and they have acquired...

not now, Murray, not now, Murray! sorry, that KITH skit never gets old. Anyway, if you have a clear line of sight, you should be able to use a standard 60 cm dish in Connecticut.

bigger hard drive and wifi? meh

glad the forum is back. thanks, scott. JW2016: the 630 is mpeg-4 compatible. You should have no problems receiving the three satellites with a stock 60 cm dish. If you go to Canada regularly and/or have contacts there, you don't necessarily have to go through a broker

Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. There are no hidden fees for HD or PVR with Shaw Direct. You will have to pay sales taxes based on your province. There are three satellites (F1, F2, and G1). Based on your location, I'm not sure if you can get G1. In that case, you would be better off with an...

if you look at the coverage maps in the sticky discussions of this forum, you will see that you will only get one of the two satellites. sorry

don't ask me why, but the manual for the old remote is what you will need to use. http://media.shawdirect.ca/uploadedfiles/images/support/remote/550_manual.pdf

Ken: alternatively, you can use two separate generic circular dishes with generic Ku lnbs, one pointed to 107, the other to 111. You will need a 2x1 switch with that set up

I've had my 630 for over 4 years without any major issues. with the DVR, your TV watching habits will change tremendously.
