I guess people who subscribe to The Nets bundle will be asked to select a new bundle.

Star Choice does not use Anik E2, though they did many years ago. F2 is the other satellite. You can check your F2 signal buy tuning to an HD channel or most French channels. I believe you mean that tuner 2 is grayed out, and it will stay that way. The 505 is a single tuner. If you had a 530...
