Just to add to the confusion here in southern Nova Scotia using a 1.2 meter dish Q&S are at maximum on a clear day, have yet to lose signal due to rain etc.

The problem is solved, the tech came did his thing and ordered a replacement receiver which arrived today, I activated it and the audio is fine. :)

They are sending a Tech out on Wednesday, apparently the warranty is only 90 days on the receiver seeing it's only been 2 days it's no problem.

I'm not quite sure which forum to ask this question but since I usually hang out here and it is sort of FTA related I thought I would start here. Under the Shaw LTSS program I got my free refurbished Motorola DSR505 receiver installed, this is my first time with a sort of subscription service...

58 CBC Halifax 60 Global Maritimes 61 CTV Atlantic 62 CTV Atlantic 2 also known as ASN I think I believe I'm supposed to get SRC as well but since it's french language I haven't gone looking for it yet, if I knew the channel number I could check I get 492 CKUA and 288 AMI Audio sounds like...

Well the installer arrived and did his thing, I now officially get 4 local channels in SD quality which is an improvement over one good analogue channel and one very snowy one I used to get. What they don't tell you is you get the unscrambled stuff on the Shaw satellite about 10 channels mainly...

Well the receiver from Shaw arrived a refurbished Motorola DSR505 with UHF remote, it would have been here a few days ago if the courier hadn't got lost. After it arrived i had to call Shaw back and the installer is supposed to be here next Wednesday, it could get interesting he won't be able to...

A wood and mesh Ku band dish I built, it worked but not as well as i hoped The water level is 3 ft above normal Where does the water stop? the water is about 2" from the dish fortunately the wind and waves didn't come up, the dish kept working

No, read that on the web it may not be accurate, 5 years is a long time with technology

Well so far I'm impressed, I phoned Shaw at 1 888 782 7602 and got straight through to a rep. and asked about the Local Television Satellite Service, she asked me a few questions. Had I had satellite, cable or IPTV during the past 90 days? What channels had I lost and when? Name and address...

That is great news, now to start dealing with Shaw, I'll keep you posted.

I guess it's my fault for being asleep on this, the free satellite service from Shaw including equipment and installation ended on November 30th. LInk O well I managed to get high speed internet here at last but at great expense (had to instal my own repeater and cable link), it's just the...

I have been using a Prof 7301 card with DVB Viewer, I've used various Twinhan cards and much prefer the Prof cards. I've been using Xepg and mc2xml to import TV guide information for PBS on AMC21 (have Bat file if anyone needs it). It's kind of boring just keeps working although DVB Viewer...

When PBS converted to S2 I had to replace my 1M ex Starchoice dish with a 1.2M Fortec Star dish in order to continue receiving PBS the was a significant improvement with the Fortec dish. The Starchoice dish had, had a hard life a few dents in the edge of the rim but the the dish surface appeared...

Nice find, Thanks
