Not sure what your elevation would be, but around a 98-100 skew would be appropriate for northern MB. I can't say for sure what you would need to put in for information for your satellite finder. You will end up aiming just slightly west of due south when tuned in.

Sounds like you might need to factory reset the receiver then get a fresh hit, might have a bad software download.

There is only 32 million people living in Canada, i seriously doubt you can say millions are snowbirds. The few customers Bell will lose from this transition is minor to the potential loss of customers in Canada to other providers, its as simple as that.

Your both right the DPP is easier, i just figured it might be easier to get a SW44.

You will need the DPP separator for it to work properly, its as simply as that.

You would need to replace your SW21 with a SW44 and run a new line from your 5900 PVR to the SW44. The lines cannot have splitters after the switches.

Ya Minnesota would likely still work, but Florida is a pipe dream for G1.

Has anyone pointed out that G1 channels will not be available that far south. Changing LNB's to the XKU for anyone in the united states is irrelevant. This is my understanding of it.

Oh i wasn't referring to it being difficult to install or the co-axial for tuning. I install Bell, and i'm glad the 4100 has a co-axial output, because lots of customers have older tv's with only one composite input. This might make things a bit tricker, or require the use of an RF modulator.

If this receiver is meant to replace the 4100, the lack of a co-axial output could be quite a hindrance when setting up for customers with older TV's.

I have seen a couple of the standard Direct Dishes in Manitoba as well, and they seem to work fine. Southern Manitoba that is.

If you have the new XKU LNB, do a factory reset on the receiver, then turn it to 252 when it comes back on, if the red light disappears, then your tuned in, and ready to get a hit to activate the receiver. You will always get a red light on 299 and 284 with the new generation of receivers...

Im wondering if other technicians have run into problems where HDMI doesn't work straight from the receiver to the tv. I have run into it a few times on Bell TV and Shaw Direct receivers. I have heard there in consistencies with HDMI because there is no actual standard for equipment, so...

I agree with both of you, i run into that all the time, HD receivers hooked up with Coax or RCA cables to the TV. You do get at least 720p with the component cables do you not?

Im not a New Bell TV installer, i do all Bell TV work. Below is the PDF i received from Bell concern the receiver swap program. As per our vendor requests, older SD receivers are being RMA'ed and replaced with 4100's. Your right, not all SD's are being replaced, but it is happening.

Yah we just got the switchs in the other day, and i was looking into it, and your absolutely correct. They are quite the LNB and switch combo.

Older SD receivers will also be replaced with 4100's. As a technician we are supposed to swap out older receivers on service calls and installations.

Yes Bell is focusing on FibeTV, which will be available in eastern canada only for the time being. It uses the same equipment as MTS TV and Sasktel TV uses. Bell Fibe TV

The Bell HD receivers default to 720p, you can increase this to 1080i in the receiver settings. I don't remember exactly where in the options, i just kinda do it by reflex when setting up a new receiver.

As a quick tip for people using an XKU for the first time, turn an existing active receiver to channel 700 (assuming it wasn't on a single look dish), and brand new receivers to channel 252. Only turn the receiver to 252 just prior to it being activated, as it prematurely dled's the wrong...

You shouldn't be affected by regional blackouts for CFL games on TSN. Part of the contract to the the exclusive presenter of CFL Games, TSN is not allowed to perform regional blackouts for these games.

The DPP Twin is not capable of running more than 2 receivers, there is a DPP Quad that you can run 4 receivers with. You cannot use the DPP twin with the SW44. Im not sure if you can purchase DPP Quads. Im a Bell technician in Canada and were finally going to be getting access to the DPP Quad...

At the time you were in Canada the 600 was not released yet. You did well going with the 630 and 605, both are solid receivers. The 600 lacks some key features that the 605 and 630 have, such as UHF remote, a power button, and component cable hook ups.

The second option is to go with a second dish set up with a SW44, leaving the original dish with the DPP22 LNB. This allows you to stay with the ability to run dual tuner receivers with a single line, as well as running more than 2 receivers in your home.
