    star choice lnb is 10750?

    Not sure what your elevation would be, but around a 98-100 skew would be appropriate for northern MB. I can't say for sure what you would need to put in for information for your satellite finder. You will end up aiming just slightly west of due south when tuned in.

    SHAW: can't get ch 400 [horizontal chs?], but get others .....

    Sounds like you might need to factory reset the receiver then get a fresh hit, might have a bad software download.

    Bell Express Vu North Fort Myers Florida

    There is only 32 million people living in Canada, i seriously doubt you can say millions are snowbirds. The few customers Bell will lose from this transition is minor to the potential loss of customers in Canada to other providers, its as simple as that.

    No signal on Bell 82 using 9241 DVR in Boston

    You will need the DPP separator for it to work properly, its as simply as that.

    Hooking up 2 receivers

    You would need to replace your SW21 with a SW44 and run a new line from your 5900 PVR to the SW44. The lines cannot have splitters after the switches.

    Shaw Xku Triple LNBF FAQ

    Has anyone pointed out that G1 channels will not be available that far south. Changing LNB's to the XKU for anyone in the united states is irrelevant. This is my understanding of it.

    Bell To release new HD receiver to replace 6131 and phase out SD receiver 4100

    Oh i wasn't referring to it being difficult to install or the co-axial for tuning. I install Bell, and i'm glad the 4100 has a co-axial output, because lots of customers have older tv's with only one composite input. This might make things a bit tricker, or require the use of an RF modulator.

    Bell To release new HD receiver to replace 6131 and phase out SD receiver 4100

    If this receiver is meant to replace the 4100, the lack of a co-axial output could be quite a hindrance when setting up for customers with older TV's.

    Nimiq 6 Footprint map released

    I have seen a couple of the standard Direct Dishes in Manitoba as well, and they seem to work fine. Southern Manitoba that is.

    Help with Shaw System / 605 rcvr / quad lnb / 60cm dish

    If you have the new XKU LNB, do a factory reset on the receiver, then turn it to 252 when it comes back on, if the red light disappears, then your tuned in, and ready to get a hit to activate the receiver. You will always get a red light on 299 and 284 with the new generation of receivers...

    BEV HDMI issues

    Im wondering if other technicians have run into problems where HDMI doesn't work straight from the receiver to the tv. I have run into it a few times on Bell TV and Shaw Direct receivers. I have heard there in consistencies with HDMI because there is no actual standard for equipment, so...

    Is Bell HD really only 720p?

    I agree with both of you, i run into that all the time, HD receivers hooked up with Coax or RCA cables to the TV. You do get at least 720p with the component cables do you not?
