Hi Guys. I am in Casa Grande Az. The VE7 is an Amateur radio callsign for the British Columbia area of Canada. Thanks for all the help. Gary

Just to add to this confusion, If I'm watching ch 212 then try 258, it says "Receiver has lost signal". If I then click a channel in the 900's, then ch 212, it says "Receiver has lost..." BUT 258 will work. So to switch between 212 and 258, I must first go to 9xx to allow the switch. It seems...

I am in Arizona and know that I wont get channels dedicated to G1 but I don't know if my problem is related to the following or that I have an issue with my HDPVR630. On channels between 210 and 220, I get only the EVEN numbers. On channels between 901 and 920, I only get the ODD numbers. On...

Hi All. I would be remiss if I didn't write to say I finally got my receiver working!!! Just a recap for anyone still struggling. Our Original HDPVR630 was left in Arizona all summer connected to the 75cm dish but the trailer was unplugged from power. This fall, it would not work and was...

Hello All. Call me EXASPERATED !!! In my previous posts I detailed how my HDPVR630 (unplugged all summer), would not receive any signal (-10dB) when turned on in Arizona. It seems that it may have gotten a signal initially, started a download, then somehow lost it's signal. I then borrowed a...

Hi All. At the expense of repeating myself, I would like to recap today's event and perhaps SHOWTIME and others will comment. This morning I borrowed a working receiver from a friend and connected it to my dish. I then tweaked the aiming and got a signal strength of 90 and tv. I immediately...

hi Mellaby. I am in Casa Grande. I followed showtime's suggestion and got a friend's receiver here and show a signal strength of 95. I then called Shaw and after some clicking around, they think it is the receiver and wanted to send me a new one. I told them we were going away and didn't want...

Hi Catamount. Thanks for the map info. I have 2 receivers in Canada and this summer a tech came to our house and installed a new xku and gave me a second one to bring to Az. He loaded the necessary changes and those tv's are fine. I believe he may have loaded a change for the 630 receiver we...

Hi Vessman. Our expert here, Showtime, has made a point of telling me to connect my receiver to friends dish/lnb that is working. What I don't know is if this suggestion is just to eliminate the possibility of a reception and or aiming issue with my dish... OR... is there some programming sent...

Hi Showtime. I have been struggling with this Shaw Direct problem for a couple of weeks and thought a recap might help. We are in a RV park in Casa Grande Az. There are lots of Canadians here moaning about their satellites not working. It seems to be an issue of the receiver not hearing the sat...

Hi Showtime. Two weeks ago I took a picture of my TV screen showing Exists, 589-4320 but no signal on either tuner. Today I reconnected everything and the map status says Loading 0-4378. The best tuning I get is a flash of yellow, up to maybe 50 on the scale for a few milliseconds before...

Interesting... my friend here in Az has the 539-4378 and it works fine. Mine is 589-4320

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that he gave me the new head to bring down so I tried both. And like I said zero on both signal strength bars. For that reason I thought when he did the programming, he may have turned off the ability for the receiver to receive the F1 and F2 ?

Hi. I have had Shaw Direct for years and travelled through the US and Mexico with no difficulty in aiming and getting service, This fall, Oct 2019, I get a zero signal from the tuning process. This last summer at home in BC, a Shaw technician came to our house and installed a new LNB for the G2...
