Thank you everyone! It seems that the days of Shaw Direct are over here in Mexico. After reading this, I don't think I will renew my subscription. NFL Sunday ticket was not that great with them anyway, I'm getting all games in HD here in Mexico at the same price. The only thing I...

Hi, I canceled my subscription to Shaw Direct about 6 months ago, I moved... And I was wondering if the old 505 HD receiver still works? and for how long? Are they gonna change to MPEG4? Are they changing satellites? I want to know if it's worth to renew my subscription or not? Also, What...

That happened to me when I had a smaller dish 90cm. What size is your dish? If it's 1.8mts, then it might need fine tuning

I paid about $150 USD for NFL Sunday ticket in Sky Mexico, with all the games in HD. I can't believe SD only offers 4 games in HD! and they had only 1 last season! That's why I didn't signed up for it.

Thanks! That seemed to have make the trick. It was weird, because only one was without sound. Thanks again.

Hi, I have no audio in these two channels, I have audio on ABC HD, but not on the SD channel. I never watch it on SD, but CC is not working on the HD Channel, and my mother wants to watch it. So tuned in to SD feed and it has no audio, I tried messing with the audio settings ib the receiver, but...

I want to know as well, I have to spend about $500 USD to get it, the shipping alone is more than $150. I want to know if it's worth it. Whe will they move channels to MPEG4? and will they still be in the same satellite? Will they change the footprint? Thanks in advanced.

Thank you very much Iceberg! I'm gonna give it some thought and wait to see if the receiver is good enough, unlike the 530. Thanks again.

Thanks Iceberg! That's what I needed. IF I don't keep the 505 and only want the 603, will it work with 2 Dual LNB's and two 2x1 switches? Thanks again.

Thanks! So, anyone knows what kind of switch do I need? In order to combine 2 dual LNB's and get two cables out to thr receiver? Will this LNB work? CP Electronics: LNB - DUAL - FTA - DISH - LINEAL - 105 121 ETC - STARCHOICE (SHAW DIRECT), LNB'S, 785A Thanks again. I'm guessing this switch...

Thanks! I'm glad you finally got your setup going. Well the 630 has a double tuner, so at least I should get dual LNB's and then some kind of switch, I also don't know if the receiver requieres only one line in, like my SKY +HD, or two. Thanks again, if I decide to change the receiver I...

So it was only for free last week? Dam! I thought I was gonna have it all season! I did not subscribed to NFL sunday ticket in Shaw this season, you only got 1 game in HD last season, and I see this season it has increased to 4 games, still not enough, I subscribed to NFL sunday ticket in Sky...

Hi, I'm in Mexico city, and I've already had a shaw subscription for about a year and 8 months. I have 2 dishes, one 90 cm pointed at F1 and another 1.8mts pointed at F2. I have the 505 receiver, so only have single LNB's in each dish with a basic switch. My question is this, what would I...

I'm in Mexico city as well, (Tlalpan-South) and I can only get a decent signal on the HD channels with a 1.8mts dish. I could see something with the 90cm sky dish, but I would lose it during the day, or when it's cloduy, etc... Now I only lose signal with heavy rain. And not in all HD channels...

That's incredible! It might be the shape of the dish. But here in Mexico city even with a 90cm round dish you lose reception of some HD channels during the day. That's why I have a 6ft (1.8mts) dish. And even with that size the New AMC HD channel, I only get 74 signal strenght and 3.5 dB with 3...

You will get less channels, like the poster above said, and you will need a bigger dish than the regular 75Cm *C dish, you can buy a pretty cheap 90 Cm Sky dish here in Mexico. But you will need the LNB. It only makes sense if you will not use HD and don't speak or don't want the French...

If you want both satellites, you'll need a 1.8mts Dish, with that you can get the two satellites with good enough quality and strong signal here. If you only want Anik F1R you can get it with even a 90cm dish. Getting a 1.8mts dish is expensive, about $350 or $400 CAD. And you'll require a...

I'll PM you the broker and installer information. Saludos.

Well, it might work with a 1.2mts, but your pointing will probably have to be very accurate. I had a 90cms antenna and some HD channels were only viewable during the night. So I played it safe, and bought the 1.8mts antenna. Saludos.

Here is the information that you require. Only for Starchoice.

Hi, I'm in Mexico city and I'm using two separate antennas, one from Sky Mexico, that you can find very cheap here, that one is 90cms, and I get from 80 to 90 signal on Anik F1R. And I use a 1.8mts antenna to get Anik F2, I get 90 signal on that one. I used to have a 90cm for anik f2, and...

Thanks. Well, that stinks! I have to pay more for shipping than what the 505 receiver costs! But it seems I don't have the bigger problem, just sometimes when I turn on the receiver it will give me the message, but then I just switch channels and it goes away, is not that bothersome. The...

Thanks again. I do use a receiver, but only for audio, I have a direct connection between the HDTV and the 505 via DVI-HDMI converter cable, and then I use the coaxial audio out for sound to the receiver. I have no problem other than that HDCP message, every once ina while and some audio...

Thanks! I have version F6. What do you mean by breaking the HDMI? And what is AVR? I do get a HDCP message every once in a while.

Thank you everyone for your help! I finally bought a 1.8mts antenna and all is working great now, even with rain I don't lose signal! I'm getting all of the HD channels during the entire day now! Does CC works with hdmi? CC seems to work fine with the SD channels, but sometimes with the HD...
