Showtime - I PM you. I REALLY want a new one or used if I had to. I'm getting no signals during the hot day now. I apologize for starting the thread, going on a trip, and my problem was gone when I got back. Now it's back bad. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you. Have a great...

I am looking for the old style Dual Quad LNB for the 75E Dish. I think mine could be flaky because each year as winter comes to a close, I start to get some flaky signal from time to time on certain channels even though dish is peaked. It is a nearly 7 year old LNB. Therefore, I'm hoping...

I believe my old-style Quad LNB (2 satellites only) for 75 size dish is going flaky. However, no one seems to have the old LNBS, especially for the 75E dish. Does anyone know of a source, or happen to have one of these used lying around? I appreciate your time. Than kyou.

I wonder if Shaw has made some kind of changes recently? Family in Palm Desert area is still getting the signal in/out on certain HD channels due to the low noise db number.

I have family in that same area, Palm Springs area, and they were setting up Shaw this weekend. They are getting high signal levels, but the noise db is only about 5.2 on the HD channels, and 7.0 on the SD channels. Therefore, the HD channel reliability has been off/on. They have 75sized...

Thanks for that review!! Hopefully I get a good one. My 530 worked fine for 5.5 years. So when you say cleared the event log, do you mean deleted every show on the receiver? I see people mention that on various sites. Sounds like a bit of a bummer to delete your shows, but at least I know...

I had my Shaw 530 receiver quit working today. (HD DVR from a few years ago). It worked fine over the years considering I mainly used it for the unique content from the north. I have thinking about buying the 630 to replace it, however, is it pretty reliable? Is playback smooth? I've read...

Yes, I know this but I haul it down when I visit the south for a couple weeks. Yes, the spare dish is big ,but I like keeping my TV. I mean, I'm paying my sub, so no point in leaving the receiver at home where no one is watching. I've been in the same spot 10 days and had no issues until when...

"Southern" viewer on Shaw Direct. Some HD channels are out like CBC & TSN. Shows 30 signal readings. What's going on? Permanent change?

A lot of news articles seem to suggest the standard package will be $19.99 come January that will include Internet fees too. However, I am on a lifetime plan with primary radio. My only real concern is how much my additional radios are going to increase each month? I have two of them at...

Early in 2011 I switched my primarily sub to Lifetime while it was still just $499. Glad I did now that it is $699. Furthermore, 1-2 years ago they often had it down to $399 and no royalty fees. That was really the time to jump in.

Maybe XM modules updated presets most of the time and fewer Sirius modules? THe sirius modules in Mercedes seemed not to update.

My two cars Sirius built in radios updated fine on Wednesday. I had to update the presets, but that was no worry. However...I've noticed audio pops & clipping on several channels including The Bridge, Willie's Roadhouse, etc. Has anyone else noticed this? A few other channels seem perfect...

Go with Starchioce and get everything again.

Thing is most brokers aren't bad. Canam certainly is, IMHO.
