I have Telus Optik TV.

I'm sure there is a lot of us that just use it down south. I use to put my SD service on Vacation from Apr to Oct for the past 15 years. They definitely lost me as a customer last Oct.

Like Knightly said, you need a 800 receiver that will pickup some channels that are still on F2. G1 does not reach down to AZ. My 630 receiver lost all programming on F2 Oct 31 here in Mesa.

Lost all my channels yesterday. Cancelled my service today.

This is the message I got from SD for activating my receiver: The reconnection process has changed this year. Follow these four very important steps to get connected: Make sure your set-top box and TV are plugged in and turned on. Tune to channel 264 (press 2-6-4 on your Shaw Direct remote...

Your dish might have moved over the summer (bad winds). If I get my 630 to work after Oct 30, you can bring over your receiver at my place and check it there. That will illuminate everything but your dish and cable.

No I couldn't get any last spring .

I think TravelerG is speaking about F2

Are all your channels gone? Some channels have been removed in the last 6 months. I'll be down to Mesa Oct 30 to check my channels. Let us know if you have this sorted out.

You got nothing to loose by a Master Reset. I had the same problem with one of my neighbors 830's. The reset brought it back just fine.

Time for a Master Reset. Options,4,9,8,8,6

I have a DirectTv mount in Calgary I setup a few years ago. It's a way better mount. The 2 cross brackets can adjust the dish plumb very easily, especially with a plumb bulb on top of the pole.

The G1 footprint shows a good signal in RI so a 830 unit should be OK. I would set up your dish with your 630 then tune to a channel that's on the G1 sat. If it's good then your good to go.

I'm not maintaining my subscription. Right now I'm on vacation disconnect till Oct 23 till I get back to Mesa AZ. Once my programming quits I'll just shut down my account because a 830 unit won't work in AZ.
