Hi, I have a 76cm elliptical StarChoice/Shaw Direct dish that has served me very well for several years as an apartment-dweller. I recently bought a new house, and was looking to put this dish on the roof, which is the only viable location. Leaving it on the ground and not "in the way"...

Hey all, When I had Bell Expressvu, it was easy to peak the dish on weak transponders since you could readily "browse" through tps in the Sat Signal menu. *C is a little different, at least on my DSR-505... the Sat Signal window doesn't list transponders. Heck, it doesn't even...

If I had to guess... maybe they lost whatever database they had for matching the new smart cards up with their subscribers... Next time you call, drill 'em. You've now heard from two *C subscribers who made programming changes with no issues whatsoever. I had to switch my Bell smart card a...

Well, I called and activated without any problems this morning. So, I guess they are back up and running.

Hey folks, Read the manual and fished the forum archives, but I still don't know how to check my signal strength on Anik E2. Using a 75E Starchoice Dish with a 505HD receiver. Directions just tell you to go to Channel 299 and check strength... Sat shows up as "E4" ... which is really Anik...

So... has anyone had any luck getting through yet? I called this afternoon to activate, but it was getting late, about 4:50pm EDT, and there was no answer.

Well, I'll be away for the holiday weekend, but I'm not willing to give them too much more time to either get their act together, or at least, be forthcoming as to what is going on. But just in case... anyone know if it is still possible to activate my "virgin" *C receiver without CanAm's...

No problem, Mojo, honest mistake... So it sounds like with their "systems down" they are unable to match their customer info to the actual receiver/subscriber info...? So even if they have your cards to swap, they have no way of matching them to your name/address? Have they mentioned any...

Mojo... that's the wrong CanAm. CanAm/Smalldish.com is based out of Vancouver, and was selling US programming to Canadians. I had Bell service beyond June 26th, and ordered my *C equipment in early Aug, but not from Smalldish.

So what exactly did happen? I have a *C receiver that has yet to be activated (just moved and waiting to install the dish). Am I to assume that if I call tomorrow to activate, I'll be S.O.L.? Those who were already activated -- did your programming go out?

That's what I was afraid of. I suppose I could call and ask for a tech to come out and let me in, but I highly doubt they'd allow it. This leaves me with no real "easy" options, as it would be hard to hide any length of cable going around the perimeter of the building and across my...

This may seem like an odd question, but I was all ready to set up and install a *C dish this afternoon on the edge of my apartment building, with the intent of tying it into the cable junction box, using a diplexer to share the sat signal with the CATV (for internet and Clear-QAM HDTV)...
