Ryan, I'm not sure how desperate you are for D* coverage, but you might want to consider their forthcoming Sat-Go product, which is touted as working indoors: http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/08/directv-announces-sat-go-portable-satellite-tv-system/ The catch is that it costs between...

I'm less accepting of the SuperFan spin on EI. To get essentially the same HD programming as was available last year, I'm now paying 25% more. I ended up cancelling EI altogether.

You might want to consider other VOIP providers that offer incoming and outbound service for a Canadian number, such as Talqer. In the case of Talqer, that will run you about $4/month.

Someone on another board mentioned that there were headlines on CNN, MSNBC, etc., that the US Justice Dept. was prosecuting someone in San Diego because they were (illegally) subscribing to SC. I find it dubious that the Feds would take against simply subscribing; something else must have been...

I'm a Canadian who splits half the year down here and half back home. :)

Early *C report Sorry for not posting my findings sooner--been one of those weeks! ;) Thus far, I am pleased with the reception I'm getting with a 76cm dish. All channels, HD and otherwise, come through clearly. It was a treat watching the MLB playoffs and Royal Canadian Air Farce in HD...

Yes, you made a quality recommendation, and I appreciate that. You're reacting as if I called your credibility into question, which wasn't the case at all: I agreed with points that Iceberg made about general suspicion raised about what the Canadian providers might regard as unusual interest...

Iceberg makes a great point. That said, there are many public companies that have invested serious dollars in using *C for delivery of internal training channels, etc. For *C to take any action impacting individuals would also risk impacting larger corporate customers. And we all know whose...

I will use two receivers: DSR-530 (HD DVR) and the DSR-505.

I live west of Orlando on the Gulf coast and am getting an SC 75cm setup installed on Monday. The installers do a fair number of these across the state and are confident that this will work well. I will report my findings as soon as I can watch CBC-HD! Needless to say, I'm fired up. :hungry:

I have a different experience with this company than many here have had. I originally signed up for service (an online account) in July of this year. After a week of service, I wanted to change my password. A simple affair for an online service, right? Wrong. Even though my password for...

The SC DSR-530 has had a chequered history. Recently, SC sent out a CC update to the firmware. How stable has the unit been since that update? I see accounts on other boards, but it's hard to tell if only dissatisfied users bother to make postings.

Another reason: No bush-league moves like D* pulled this morning, "temporarily" withholding TNT-HD coverage on Sundays for the duration of the NFL (read: Sunday Ticket) season. Evidently, they had to steal bandwidth from somewhere... Definite candidate for tool of the week...

If you're expecting to see Detroit-area pro sports teams through the local network affiliates, you might be disappointed. Yes, you will see the Lions on Fox2. However, with the exception of a handful of games, all Red Wings, Pistons, & Tigers games are carried on FSN Detroit, which is...
