    Shaw - Half dead DSR505

    Ok. Found the problem. Someone unplugged my Slingbox. It still passed video but not audio. Lesson learned. Thanks for your help!

    Shaw - Half dead DSR505

    Hello everyone, The sound died on my DSR505. I've double-checked the connections, settings on both my TV and STB. Reset a half dozen times, to no avail. Great video, though. Any suggestions? I'm afraid I may have to replace it. Thanks!

    Does Shaw Direct have direct feeds from France?

    Frenchophile pretty much sums it up. Occasionally, such as July 14 and Festival de la Musique (June), RFO will show live feeds. The news is time-delayed to coincide with SPM's time zone. As for the other French Canadian stations, I've only seen Canal Evasion show live Tour de France.

    HD Locals no longer free?

    I'm in Whitmore Lk/Pinckney area and a tech told me that in my area they filter the HD but in other areas, it's free. However, a subsequent channel scan detected them all and I have the HD locals, plus 5 or so PBS stations in HD. Go figure.

    SatelliteAV Motorized System Giveaway, We Have a Winner!

    I haven't dabbled in FTA...yet. While I have no opinion of either receiver, I'm leaning toward the Visionsat IV 200 and its PVR capabilities.

    New SC guide

    My guide arrived on my 505 on Tuesday. The only feature I really wanted was the "Not Subscribed", like I had when I had E* and Evu. While I don't really need the other features as mentioned, I would have liked the search feature. Is the Channel mosaic in the mix, too? If so, how does one...

    Coax Splitter/Amplifier

    Greetings, I'm having issues with my high speed internet. About 2-3 times a month, my cable modem loses its signal which, in turn, disables my internet and Vonage. I then have to fiddle [insert your own f-word] with it until I get a signal. I've read on these forums that it's the quality...

    trying to control SC unit with universal remote

    FWIW, I have a Sony remote (RM-YD003) that I've used on maybe 5 occasions. I gave up a long time ago trying to get it to work with my DSR505. My SC remote is a URC-547. It does everything I need it to do with my TV & VCR, too.

    CDN in Atlanta needs your advice

    I was a BEV customer before SC. I switched to SC to be able to have 2 receivers. The difference in French channels is negligeable. Most French channels are on both. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of French-language material. I went with the "Parfait Bilingue" pkg. It allows me to view my...

    NBC HD Feed

    I have Starchoice (Canadian Sat) with different equipment and experienced the same problem. However, when I reentered the channel, the picture returned to normal. I thought it was my receiver.

    Need help with skew

    I, too am from the Detroit area. I looked at my former Bev skew setting on my Dish500 and the red line is just a tad below 94, which is about 93.5-ish.

    *C DSR315 : loooong time for channel to display

    Here's the problem that only happens on my DSR315 and only on certain channels: I tune to 400 (TSN), which takes up to a minute to finally tune in. I checked the Diagnostic C while it was at the "Please wait" screen and it came to +0.1 and other various low numbers. When the channel finally...

    Just got my XM Radio

    You need a vent mount, which should have come with the car kit. The vent mount will clip into the vent. There's another piece (part of the vent mount) that you use like a kickstand. It adjusts the angle of your cradle. You then slide the SkyFi2 cradle onto the mount, then the SkyFi2 receiver...
