    Shaw LTSS DSR505 Audio problem

    They are sending a Tech out on Wednesday, apparently the warranty is only 90 days on the receiver seeing it's only been 2 days it's no problem.

    Shaw LTSS DSR505 Audio problem

    I'm not quite sure which forum to ask this question but since I usually hang out here and it is sort of FTA related I thought I would start here. Under the Shaw LTSS program I got my free refurbished Motorola DSR505 receiver installed, this is my first time with a sort of subscription service...

    CBC Anik F1R at 107.3°W Scrambled?

    Well the installer arrived and did his thing, I now officially get 4 local channels in SD quality which is an improvement over one good analogue channel and one very snowy one I used to get. What they don't tell you is you get the unscrambled stuff on the Shaw satellite about 10 channels mainly...

    CBC Anik F1R at 107.3°W Scrambled?

    Well the receiver from Shaw arrived a refurbished Motorola DSR505 with UHF remote, it would have been here a few days ago if the courier hadn't got lost. After it arrived i had to call Shaw back and the installer is supposed to be here next Wednesday, it could get interesting he won't be able to...

    CBC Anik F1R at 107.3°W Scrambled?

    Well so far I'm impressed, I phoned Shaw at 1 888 782 7602 and got straight through to a rep. and asked about the Local Television Satellite Service, she asked me a few questions. Had I had satellite, cable or IPTV during the past 90 days? What channels had I lost and when? Name and address...

    CBC Anik F1R at 107.3°W Scrambled?

    I guess it's my fault for being asleep on this, the free satellite service from Shaw including equipment and installation ended on November 30th. LInk O well I managed to get high speed internet here at last but at great expense (had to instal my own repeater and cable link), it's just the...

    DVB-S2 Tuner Card for PBS

    I have been using a Prof 7301 card with DVB Viewer, I've used various Twinhan cards and much prefer the Prof cards. I've been using Xepg and mc2xml to import TV guide information for PBS on AMC21 (have Bat file if anyone needs it). It's kind of boring just keeps working although DVB Viewer...

    Starchoice 1m dish

The Starchoice dish had, had a hard life a few dents in the edge of the rim but the the dish surface appeared...

    Anyone Get Their Twinhan StarBox 7021 Working?

    I've uploaded the 2 complete installation discs that I have, the earlier one came with the Starbox (2.431) and the later one (2.606) came with the 102g card but included drivers for several different cards including the Starbox both worked for me but give different quality and signal readings...

    Anyone Get Their Twinhan StarBox 7021 Working?

    That explains the problems you need the WDM drivers as the BDA drivers don't work correctly for the 7021. I made a major mistake with the files I linked to they only contain the drivers not the Twinhan software you should be able to get them to work but it's not so easy, I have the files...

    Is The History Channel gone?

    I just checked History channel at 9.10 am and it's down a bit at 85% as are few other channels at other satellites which are normally at 100%, clear blue sky right now, go figure. Your on the right track nothing beats a bigger dish especially in this part of the world where we seem to be on the...

    Is The History Channel gone?

    I used to use a 1 metre ex starchoice dish and the History channel was usually a solid signal, I can't remember the strength but probably around 50-70 it was however susceptible to day/night fade at times but I rarely lost it except in heavy rain. Now I use a 1.2 meter Foretec dish mainly to...

    Blindscan PC DVB card status

    Very impressive piece of software this is what I've been looking for, for a long time, thanks so much. I've only had 10 minutes with it so far, once you figure out all the options in the BLScan.ini file it's powerful, fast and accurate, at least it was on the one satellite I tried AMC21...
