On the way down here this fall we picked up the Phoenix locals in Gallup New Mexico clear as a bell

We don't have HD when the signal was lost the meter was at 95 now all is well so it might have been a problem with there feed from Phoenix on all the networks.I forgot to mention we moved down to Why AZ not even one radio station thank God for sat.

We have moved from ApacheJunction were we were getting the locals out of Phoenix they were working great for a few days then this morning all of them kept going in and out.I wonder if I;m on the edge of the beam down here and should change my address so as to get Tuson locals.

In one little park in AZ were we stay there are at least 6 Shaw dish's and every Canadian that arrives with a fiver or TT seems to setup a Shaw dish

I heard there is a 300 or 400 mile spot beam for locals on a trip last winter we still got our Phoenix locals down south of Ajo AZ 160 miles away.

I alway's thought Shaw didn't care were you are Bell was the problem.

The neighbor was planning on switching to shaw for his Florida home but he said his friend down there said it no longer works in Florida.Yesterday I was in a Bell store getting a new sim card and asked the guy about it and he said his Dad who has Shaw also told him the same thing.

I will bring the receiver with us this summer and try for a good signal if it works I will have it activated,at least Direct doesn't have to have $15 mth while its on suspension.

What I meant was there was a clearing through the trees for expressvu and if Direct is more to the right then it won't work

Funny thing the other day our cell rings and it was Direct trying to sell us more programming I said we were back home in Canada and were going to shut it off for the summer.She said you should have no problem with the signal why not just use it.Most likely on Tues the payment comes out and I...

If we are getting a signal through the tree's for expressvu would direct be workable, after having direct all winter in AZ I think we like it much better than our bell.Here in Windsor it points exactly were my bell dish does.

When we started having problems and I called they said it would be $49.95 for the service call.

I'm a little glad that I just got the protection plan the receiver had to be replaced by the tech and there was no charge for anything so $5.95 mth is a drop in the bucket these day's.I 'll just drink 6 beer's less this mth and 6 less for Hubby.

The tv is a 19in skyworth and it's less than 2yrs old,the tech is coming back this morning so will let you know what he does.I might add that it worked perfect last night even pointed it well away from the tv. and it worked.

The remote all of a sudden quite working the DVR but would work the tv after an hr on the phone trying everything with dtv they got me to buy the service contract for $5.95 mth and sent a tech out.The next day he came and replaced the remote and it worked until that pm and started working off...
