    I've been a homeowner at my condo complex the past 23 years. Recently the president of the homeowners association became obsessed about "cleaning up" all the satellite dishes in our 500 unit development. His main objections have been the many dishes that have gone up that are installed onto...

    Expressvu HD Channels Back on in Southern Cal

    As of last night, many of Expressvu's HD channels were available again in the Los Angeles area. A quick scan with my FTA receiver indicated that all four networks for each coast were available, along with CTV-East. I'm sure there others, but it was late when I checked. As far as I could tell...

    Extra Innings Question

    A friend with cable wanted to see if he Extra Innings was available on an ala carte basis from Directv. I believe this was possible once upon a time, but I'm not sure if they now require some sort of basic subscription package. Also, are all the Extra Inning transponders on the satellite at...

    Expressvu 9200 & 6100

    I'm looking to sell my Expressvu 9200 and 6100. Both are in pristine condition, and have the original boxes, cables, manuals, remotes, etc., except for the HDMI cables. I was a Bell subscriber for many years, and finally dropped the service a few days ago because of my inability to receive...

    Dumb Questions About Classifieds

    I'm thinking about posting some of my used satellite equipment for sale in the classified section. I noticed it says "Only supporting Pub Members may post items for sale." I think I must be blind, but where do I go on the site to sign up? I swear, I can't find it. Also, assuming I manage...

    Using My 90cm Dish on Starchoice

    I bought a conventional round 90cm dish a few months ago in an effort to restore my 82 degree Expressvu signal into Los Angeles, after the company shifted things around. (Obviously, that didn't work, as the beam moved ever-northward). Question -- I'm about to switch to Starchoice and I'm...

    AT9 - Only 4 LNBs

    After going back and forth with Directv and Dishnetwork -- and a total of six consecutive missed or botched appointments with the two combined, I FINALLY got hooked up with Directv and their AT9 and H20 this afternoon. Everything works great, but I'm confused. An AT9 was installed but it...

    Bronze Package w/Multisport

    Long story short, after nearly a decade with Dish, I got angry with them in April and dumped them. I was set to sign up with Directv this past weekend, but they screwed up my original appointment on Saturday morning, and didn't show up for the second (reschedule) on Sunday. I've still not...

    Question About Family Pack, HD & Sports Pack

    After ten years as a Dish subscriber, they ticked me off one time too many a few months ago and I pulled the plug. I'm now thinking of going with Directv and had a few questions. My interest in mostly in sports, so here we go -- 1) Is there a minimum basic package still required? All I...

    Nimiq 2 Signal Strength in Southern US

    As many of you know, Expressvu shuffled things around recently on Nimiq 2, the result being, for those of us in the Southern US (I'm in Los Angeles), the loss of a number of HD channels. I partially remedied the problem by purchasing a 90 cm dish and was able to get readings of around 45 on...

    Professional Installation Required on a Newly Owned Receiver?

    Long story short -- I cancelled Dish after being a subscriber for about eight years. I had tried to upgrade from an 811 to a 211 and they missed three consecutive installation appointments. What pushed me over the edge is that the fact that I had already the done the dish upgrade myself to...
