Great - I was hoping that's what I'd hear from all the experts here! Thanks!

Bought a 50' coil of RG-6 coax from Walmart to run to the new dish location, but fell about 20 feet short. It was a pain in the *ss to get it to where it is now - down inside the wall into basement, along stringers, up the chimney cavity into the attic ... was planning on going out the gable...

Frenchophile - so are you saying that I'll still get the channels from 111.1 (F2) even though it says F1 on the setup screen? From what I understand, most of the HD channels are carried by 111.1. Thanks!

OK, so I'm a couple hours south of the QC-VT border - central VT. Got a 60E dish and a Triple Satellite Quad Output Switchable xKu LN BF. Today I finally had enough time to sit on the roof and move the satellite millimetres at a time. I had my iPad inside pointed at the screen, and my iPhone in...

I'm kind of at a loss then. Just two hours south of the Quebec border in Vermont, I shouldn't have any trouble picking up 111.1. Would a satellite signal finder help? Like the SF-100? https://secure.shawdirect.ca/english/customercare/techcentral/hardware.asp?page=accessories&sub=10

No luck with 350 of 700. The receiver won't let me tune to those channels. This is a brand new receiver from Best Buy and it's never been activated. I'm just doing the initial setup and alignment, which you're supposed to be able to do BEFORE you activate it. I'm on channel 252, as per the...

OK, so I swapped out the old coax cable (25 years old) and ran 50-ft of new RG-6. The square in front of the signal meter is now green (yeah!), but I'm getting 0% signal strength. I've lined up the satellite at the compass heading and elevation required based on a couple online sat finders for...

Still having trouble. I swapped out the old coax cable (25 years old) and ran 50-ft of new RG-6. The square in front of the signal metre is now green (yeah!), but I'm getting 0% signal strength. I've lined up the satellite at the compass heading and elevation required based on a couple online...

Hoping the removal of the trees does the trick. If not, guess I'll be shopping eBay for a new LNB :-(

Thank you for the input! I'll be back on the roof tomorrow seeing if I can get this baby lined up! Had to drop a couple tall trees on the edge of the woods first.

I'm up on the roof of my 2-story Cape-style house the other day, sitting on the peak by one gable end, mounting a new 60cm elliptical dish to a mast I have up there. The LNB is an XKU 4 port LNB. I thought I had the LNB tightened into the arm with a screw, but apparently not. It slipped out...

Hi - so I live just over the border in VT, about 2 hrs south of the QC-VT border. I should be far enough north to tune in the 3 Shaw Direct satellites without any problem, I'm HOPING!! Much of southwestern Ontario is further south latitudinally than I am. For equipment, I have an ARRIS...

Thanks for replying. I thought it might help if I posted my signal strength on all 32 transponders. A little background on the conditions outside right now ....... heavily overcast, just finished raining, not a breeze in the air (ie. the trees and their branches are perfectly still). The...

Hi there : Have had BEV for 2 years now. 4 days ago, starting losing channels, turning all blocky etc. Message comes up saying can't find satellite signal and it always shows Satellite 91, Transponder 2. I can't get 5 channels, and coincidentally, or not, they are all on Transponder 2. My signal...
