That's the stupid thing, ONE made an agreement with the western teams to broadcast their games, but blackouts are still in effect. lol... Canucks will be BC and Yukon... Flames/Oilers will be the Prairies. I think they were talking about lumping all 3 teams under the same umbrella, but that...

That's business. I don't see how Rogers needs 5 sports channels. All they did was hold all western TV viewers hostage by moving all their major sporting events (mainly Jays games) to Sportsnet-1 to try and milk as much money as they can out of it and try to get Bell Subscribers in Ontario to...

Like I said there is nothing on the guide as of now... you would think they would be promoting it, not hiding it if they're going to air it.

Rogers told me yesterday they were making "Sportsnet ONE" available to ALL Canadian broadcaster for at least a free preview period. Yet Bell and Starchoice have both not said anything about this channel and it is slated to air beginning tomorrow (August 14th). It doesn't show on the Bell TV...

Well, V186 was just downloaded by my 9242 today. I have no idea what it contains as there doesn't appear to be any new menu options. Maybe just fixing some bugs. I hope my restarting issues were firmware related.

I've been guessing for a while that the last couple firmware releases for the 9242 were a bit buggy, as ever since I took V184 and V185 my receiver had been restarting once in a while. My 9242's just accepted V186 firmware today. I'm wondering if anybody has inside information as to what...

Hopefully it's a step forward instead of a step back like the 9241 was with less features and poorly built.

Hmmm, I didn't get Jamal, I got ***. lol. I knew I was missing something when I watched that Michael Moore documentary :cool:

Well the Exec. Office must like cleaning up all their messes, cuz I just got free NHL for the last month for this problem. I don't know why they have to run such a loose ship. If I'm having internet problems, I phone my cable company and they actually know what a modem is.

I wasn't the only one with the issue, both my receivers were doing it, my friend's 9242 was doing it and there were multiple posts regarding it on Saturday/Sunday on a couple forums. After speaking to a high level BELL tech this morning, he told me that the HD PVR's are prone to some sort of...

This same agent also told me that V187 firmware is out for the 9241's... again, obviously a lie, because after researching, the 9241's are already at V235 or higher. Ridiculous what some of these agents tell you. They could be fairy tale writers.

Maybe not with BELL or the new 92xx receivers, but with the old 2700's or 501's on Dishnet, I'd often have to wait 15-20 minutes for the firmware to "catch". I've always had high end signals with all my equipment. From what I understand they stream the firmware every 20-30 minutes. I don't...

Yes, I've done firmware upgrades many times with DISHNET and BELL, has always taken 3-20 minutes maximum. It's kind of tough to upgrade to V186 firmware when it doesn't exist. Just an example of BELL's customer service, making up stories. :rolleyes: I unplugged both receivers for 10 minutes...

Both my 9242's are rebooting like mad today, one BELL agent said there is new firmware (V186) in the stream to resolve the issue, but I was unable to download it in 3 hours of trying, another agent said they are aware of this being a software/firmware issue that they are working on, and another...

You were talking about location right? I was simply saying you can get SHAW direct (starchoice) as far south in Mexico as at least Puerto Vallarta, and I added a question about the constant rain and how people manage with a satellite dish. Sorry for conversing in a forum? :confused: lol
