I hadn't thought of that -- were they ever providing services in Northern Ontario? We have phone/cable/dsl internet services providers where I work -- that's why I didn't ever consider it being a broadband dish. It doesn't do anything, other than collect snow and ice. Hahaha

I work for a company that has Motorola radio comms with an antenna, and we have a dish setup I'm not familiar with.... In all honesty... Every one of our offices has one of these dishes, and there are two coax cables in the office that aren't connected to anything. Can anyone shed some light...

PM for you. :)

I dove into the rabbit hole we call FTA back in March 2007. I was and still am learning. Its an ongoing processes that never ends. Started off with a 33"/SG2100 motorized dish, Invacom LNB and a Coolsat 4000.

So... I'm watching the SPEED on BellTV (417 & 1413) --- and see the dreaded (INFO) in the description for nearly every program. It states that on May 1st, SPEED will no longer be available. I'm not exactly happy about this -- in fact, I am livid. I enjoy my motorsports coverage, and TSN...

I will advise you to keep copies of your shipping receipts and tracking numbers -- even if the boxes come directly from DISH. I deal with a different provider, and returned some rental receivers using their boxes and shipping labels. Four months later, I noticed a $99 fee for non-returned...

Congrats on the job! I used to work tech support for a few major PC and software manufacturers back in the day.... and the general consensus is right -- over the phone, people will treat you like dirt. 99.8% of them don't have the stones to say to someone in person, what they would say to...

You can *67 all you want, but with ANI and DNIS -- your phone number will show up on their end. Caller ID blocking doesn't apply to those services --- and if you're dialing a toll free number, ANI and DNIS trumps *67. You might just be dealing with a rep or agent that isn't familiar with all...

I'm going to chime in here and say... Legal.. a U.S based IP address for a Canadian service... My mother just got SD installed today, and I talked with the installer. I asked a few hypotheticals.. about taking my receiver to camp, or venturing off into the U.S (I'm Canadian). He alluded...

My post wasn't to meant to bash either Dish or Bell. I know that Dish and Bell aren't the same company, but they use the same equipment; I was only trying to emphasize that when you do return a receiver, you will want to hang on to your shipping bill for verification and proof that you did your...

If DISH's returns are anything like BellTV's return process -- its utterly crap-tacular. I returned 3 different Bell 4100 receivers. Each return was approximately 1 month apart, and it took 2-3 weeks to receive the return labels and packaging. They sent me a bubble envelope for each...

My fondest summer memories were as a child in the mid 1980, when my parents had a camp on Squirrel Island. I have so many fond memories of going to camp and spending time with my parents and brother and sister. Camp is where I learned to tie my own fishing lures, learned how to drive my first...

Thank you for the clear and direct answers; much more than I was able to obtain directly from Bell TV customer service. At times asking them for answers is like pulling teeth, or asking the Colonel to reveal his 11 herbs and spices.

68 views and no one knows?.... wow

I'm curious about some of BEV's channels, to which I couldn't get an explaination from Bell directly. From my outright asking "where are you located?" -- I always get a resounding "The Philippines", so that kind of explains why they don't know much about the channel line-up or anything other...
