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

I've been running a Prof 7301 with DVBviewer for the past 18 months, I haven't had to touch it, just works, kinda boring.

I've uploaded the 2 complete installation discs that I have, the earlier one came with the Starbox (2.431) and the later one (2.606) came with the 102g card but included drivers for several different cards including the Starbox both worked for me but give different quality and signal readings...

That explains the problems you need the WDM drivers as the BDA drivers don't work correctly for the 7021. I made a major mistake with the files I linked to they only contain the drivers not the Twinhan software you should be able to get them to work but it's not so easy, I have the files...

Seeing you haven't had any replies I thought I would dig my old Starbox 7021 out of the drawer and see whats working Using the disk that came with the box I installed the driver and the Twinhan DTV 2.431 viewing program into a 32 bit XP machine, I managed to get the Twinhan viewing program to...

I just checked History channel at 9.10 am and it's down a bit at 85% as are few other channels at other satellites which are normally at 100%, clear blue sky right now, go figure. Your on the right track nothing beats a bigger dish especially in this part of the world where we seem to be on the...

I used to use a 1 metre ex starchoice dish and the History channel was usually a solid signal, I can't remember the strength but probably around 50-70 it was however susceptible to day/night fade at times but I rarely lost it except in heavy rain. Now I use a 1.2 meter Foretec dish mainly to...

Very nice, thanks for all your work

I see the is a survey page added, the word free is not mentioned that much it's mainly about programing and billing. It still sounds like their serious just not so much about the free part.

On the link above to the thread at Ricks site the is a good write up that can be downloaded as a text file by Starman, there are some screenshots on page 2 of the thread. BLscan.exe runs as a DOS box controlled be BLScan.ini, the results are saved to a text file and an ini file for different...

Very impressive piece of software this is what I've been looking for, for a long time, thanks so much. I've only had 10 minutes with it so far, once you figure out all the options in the BLScan.ini file it's powerful, fast and accurate, at least it was on the one satellite I tried AMC21...
