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...

I have the PCI2004d card with the latest driver installed. All is fine until the PC is put into standby or hibernation, open resuming the driver will not function unless I go into device manager and stop it and then immediately restart it. Since i do a lot of scheduled recording with the PC...

Mediacaster Magazine - Broadband & Content - FreeHD Canada Delays Launch Date

What functions does the search feature support? At one time if I wanted to do a search for post that contained all the words PBS .ts record I could enter PBS and .ts and record It would work and I would get a list of posts that contained all those words only, now that doesn't...

I've been procrastinating about which dish to buy to replace my 1m dish so I can pull in all the PBS DVB S2 signals on Ku. It came down to Fortec Star FC120CM a 1.2m Ku offset dish or a 6ft C/Ku prime focus dish, the local dealer only has the cheaper Digiwave and Fortec brand dishes and an...

It seems the previous threads on the Canadian attempts at an FTA service are all rather old so I thought i would start a new one, does any one know what is happening? FreeHD Canada, Bells Freesat and Rogers (ex Starchoice) all came out with plans last year. The only one I can find out any...

I'm trying to select a DVB S2 PCI card and the Prof 7300 or 7301 are high on the list, for my set up I would really like to have motor control working using either Mytheatre or ProgDVB can any one confirm this works? and if so with what drivers. The Prof websites mentions DISEqC 1.2 and BDA...

I'm trying to justify buying a new toy, a DVB-S2 card, I know eventually most things will go DVB-S2 but right now whats available on a regular basis on Ku that isn't available with a regular DVB card (twinhan 102g) ? I know the is a lot more is available on C Band but I'm still trying to...

I used to get PBS HD at 12140V 30000 fairly strong when they first went to AMC21, it slowly got weaker and as of about 3 weeks ago I have been unable to get it at all. This sounds like I'm describing a gradual equipment failure, water entering a cable or something similar except that...

Some of the prices on Ebay are starting to get tempting, I'm looking for the best Blind scan capabilities, I still plan to use my PCI card for most viewing. I'm a bit confused as to the capabilities of blind scan receivers I understand most will not detect DVB-S2 signals but will they find...

Thought this list of station zip codes might be useful to others I used the info to build a program guide using Zap2it, I believe its easier with TitanTV, however Zap2it offers local programing for Canadians and the ability to set all time zones. Its also possible to convert the data into...

I've finally got a working solution for an EPG for some PBS channels and most G18 channels for Mytheatre, hopefully there are some other solutions. Right now you have to do the following. Get a free zap2it account and using the location and preference options set up a page with all the...

I'm trying to build a PVR to receive 3 local over the air stations plus a few satellite channels from G10 and AMC21, it looks like I should be able to get EPG data from Schedules Direct (PBS will be a problem except Montana). The main problem I'm having is finding support for Diseqc 1.2 with...

I was checking Mike Kohl's list of FTA stations at http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistKuBandUS.html and noticed that 12110 and 12128 are shown as off air 10-31. The is a new frequency listed at V-12179 so I went and checked it out I was pleased to find 9 channels including several test cards...

I keep hearing of all the great FTA they have in Europe which we can't access. I have a brother in England who has a DSL internet connection, would it be possible to set up a Dish over there with a computer and DVB sat card connecting to his DSL line and have control over the receiver from NA...

I have been trying to get PBS on AMC3 here in Nova Scotia for a while and would appriciate hearing what size dish other people are using in the area. I have been using a 30" dish and have only once, after much tweaking just succeeded in getting a lock on 12261 & 12264 under ideal conditions...
