Actually this isn't the case. Star Choice and Bell use two different sections of the KU-Band which have different uses. Star Choice uses the Anik satellites which operate in the "lower" FSS KU-Band and use lower power typically around 100watts per TP. Satellites in the FSS KU-Band (I don't...

Very interesting. The TPs that the Southeast and Southwest US no longer receive on 82w are the same TPs that now have a level 100 signal at my vacation home in West Virginia outside of Pittsburgh, PA (about 350km from the US/Canada border). Those TPs didn't even suffer rain fade during severe...

What???? Very few US radio stations are broadcasting in digital. Out of the 10,000+ radio stations in the US only 1,000 (or 10%) are transmitting in digital. I would hardly call than most! From what friends of mine have told me this will likely be the most that convert to digital and the format...

Equator-HD and Rave-HD are both comming from VOOM. Equator is a 100% duplicate of the American channel. The Equator site had Vu listed as a provider offering the channel. Rave-HD appears to duplicate about 75-85% of the American schedule with the remaining being Canadian content. I've had Vu's...

I was kind of surprised I didn't find this in the HD programming discussion. Last month (Oct. 2006) Canada's ExpressVu began carrying VOOM's Equator-HD and Rave-HD. Since I defected to "Canada" when the VOOM satellite service closed it's doors I was very excited to see some of the VOOM...

I know this is old, but I haven't been here for a long time. I have the same problem with WQED-Pittsburgh. It would be ok if they multicasted their analog and I would just block out PBS HD, but PBS HD is all WQED transmits!!! The SOBs got an FCC exemption and don't have to duplicate what is on...

mdovell, I get the rebooting problem on our PBS station too. They only air the PBS HDTV Channel so I think it is something in the data stream comming from that feed to all stations getting it. The problem here is that the PBS channel causing the reboot is the main one. Any others I receive come...

One would think Toronto would be the worst place for a uplink facility. Especially in winter with the lake effect snows. Derwin, very interesting. The 6100 is a fickle machine. When signal is lost it goes through all the TPs on both sats looking for signal. Once it finds a signal it sits...

Was BEV having problems yesterday evening? About 20 minutes into Dr. Who on CBC Toronto all the TPs at 91w droped to 0. About 5 minutes later all the TPs on 82w went down to 0. Then 30 minutes later everything returned to normal. Anyone have something similar yesterday? Where does BEV uplink...

That was not what it said. It doesn't matter what Rainbow "meant" to say they didn't say it. This would be like me punching you and then I turn around and say 'I didn't mean to hit you.' I would fight it.

I received my final statement today, June 15th. The due date is June 13th. When I called I was told I would have to pay a late payment fee! Nice to see those who got a "loyalty credit." I was a sub for a year and didn't see a "loyalty credit." With Rainbow dishing out money I'll just give...

That isn't the way things are going. Stations were given a choice to stay on their digital channel, move their digital to their old analog channel, or choose a different channel if their analog was on 2-6 or their digital was on 52-69. An overwhelming majority of stations have chosen to give...

The city where the unit was activated determines the default local channel map. However, with VOOM gone these channel maps are useless. With the scanning function the box will receive all locals with a high enough signal level and transmitting Channel Name and Number from anywhere. I have 12...

The 800's are HDTV channels. That's probably why it went there. It appears the channels are separated with the English channels using the low 800's and the French channels going on the high 800's.

There are different ways to reset the receiver. Unplug it for a few minutes or press and hold the power button till the flashing orange dot on the receiver stops. Either of those resets will not disrupt your OTA access. There is a factory reset in the hidden menus. I will not tell you how to...

The software version is E555LCFD-N I also tried doing a Factory Default and it reboots itself :(

My BEV 6100 has been acting up. My favorite list name has been replaced with blocks and odd characters. When I try to recreate the list it won't save the channels or the list name and says the list has no channels. This happens no matter which list I try to save. I had this happen once before...

I receive SRC-HD on channel 860 on my 6100 :) It is also mentioned on the HD Preview Channel. Thanks for the station info.

CanAm Sat says they are working on a way for customers to order PPV.

The card is really dead. My bank always sends out cards with the last 8 digits completly different from the old card. I get them about every two years.

I find Wildblue's tiered service to be very apealing. I will be happy with anything faster than dial-up so I'm goig with the Value Pac. I noticed their packages have changed from what it was a few months ago before start-up.

Does anyone know why it is taking so long to get these final bills out? I mean really, they all could have been printed and mailed out on May 1st. It would have been nice if they left the bill paying portion of the site up. I took myself off autopay in Feb. and paid on-line. The card I used...

Hey Charlie I have a ton of VOOM receivers. You can have them for $1,000 each. If E* wanted to use the VOOM STBs they had all of March and April to develop new programming for the units and seamlessly transition all VOOM subs. The only new developments to come out for the VOOM STBs will be...

I now have 12 functioning DSR-550s. Thank you e-bay my holiday shopping is done. As Ilya pointed out make sure or confirm with the seller that the STB does indeed function for OTA. I've seen people win new unactivated ones still sealed in their box. To add insult to injury these are going for...

Just a little FYI. CBC-HD, Global-HD, and SRC-HD are now in the HDTV Package. It is interesting to note these 3 new channels aren't "backed" by an actual TV station (IE: Toronto/Vancouver) like the other network HDTV channels. It is difficult to explain, but these channels are presented as...
