Thanks joshuals!!! This was super helpful: "If the LNB was bad, you would get a zero signal strength, but you are right; it's unusual that the installer got a signal while you cannot. If this is truly the case, then it indicates that there is something wrong between the point where the...

Hello folks, I'm in the process of getting Shaw Direct setup at my house. I had a satellite installer come out and do the install and using a meter he said he had signal strength in the 90s for 107 and 111. I have the 75E dish with quad output LNB. I'm at the point of getting the two...

I have a CDN address and I don't use a broker. Trying to make payments on my US CC and I can't call the 800 number from the states. I was under the impression that I could make payments online using my CC, but it appears that this isn't possible with BEV? Anyone else in the same boat...

Anyone figure out how to make BEV CC payments online? How are people making their payments from the US? Any way I can call their automated phone system from the states? I finally got everything hooked up and to my surprise the bell.ca site only takes CDN debit card or checking accounts...

Thanks Everyone!!! The tree was in fact blocking 91. I thought I was hitting 82 to the right of it, but with the skew it was actually well to the left of it. I moved the dish to the other side of the house and had no problem finding the two...

Thanks! I think there's a few trees blocking me that way too... Looks like I'm going to have to find a better spot for the dish. What tools do the pros use when they come and do a site survey? Is there an easier way of finding the sats then moving the dish around, making sure the mast is...

So frustrating for a rookie like me... :) I sat on my roof all day making millimeter adjustments and still no luck. I've got a 75 signal from 82 now though, and it appears there's a free NHL HD channel, so at least there's some good news. ;) I'm running the 91 degree coax directly...

Oh, now I get it ... (91-82). Duh. :D Any tips on a good method to track down the sat? The switch testing software is a big piece o crap that takes forever... Although it does seem to tell me that the two switch ports that the 91 LNB are plugged into are missing. :) Should I just...

Cool! How close are the 82 / 91 sats? i.e. If I'm getting decent reception on 82, should I still have to tweak elevation / azimuth at all all to get 91? Or is it typically a skew thing? I realize these are pretty vague questions, but it seems like I've tried everything at this point. =)...

Anyone able to pick up EV 91 in Seattle? I'm having problems finding it. I've got about 70-75 reception on 82 and have tried switching around the coax and LNBs (confirming that they're ok) but I only ever get 82, and zip for 91... I've tried flipping through transponders, but I only get...

Thanks Iceberg! :) So, when I call them to choose my packages they won't have a problem activating my account if it's not plugged into a phone line? I wasn't planning on hooking it up to my US phone #, but if this was a requirement for activation I could hook it up to the canadian...

Hello, I'm trying to get EV setup through a family member's address and the outlet selling the equipment told me that I have to hookup the unit to my phone line for them to activate it when I choose my packages. Is this true? Do I have to hook it up in Canada and activate it first? Also...
