That is exactly what is about to happen with Shaw. There is an agreement, in place, that Canadian local channels will be in the clear, by spring. Since the CBC has shut off over 600 repeaters, there is a need for satellite reception, in the clear, for rural area's. It is to happen, no later...

I find that the MeTV signal is a bit stronger, slightly to the west. With my 6 footer, I can get 103w, the ION channels, but it also picks up MeTV. Now, when I go after THIS TV, it's stronger, slightly east. If I go to 99.2w, I can usually snag THIS TV also. I can't explain the wide variance...

If it wasn't for hockey, this network could never stand on it's own.

It's gotta be better then Remington Steele!

They already had a number of CBC affiliates already encrypted on C Band, before they did these ones. It's becoming an issue up here, because the CRTC had people put in submissions about the loss of 600 CBC OTA transmitters. Once the submission period had ended, then they encrypted their...

I use a 6' dish, here in Eastern Ontario and have no problem picking up MeTV. I find getting THIS TV can be a trick, as it will come in, if you move your dish a couple of ticks to the east. I too had a problem getting THIS TV, when I first put it up, but learned to just move the dish slightly...

My all time favourite, was purchasing an item in the U.S., having it sent to my U.S. UPS address, getting to the border and being taxed on the postage paid on the item, that was shipped point to point inside the U.S. Their point was it added to the value of the parcel. Canadian taxation is...

The CTV Mux is now gone too! Maybe they had some inside information, that the NHL dispute may end tomorrow, so they encrypted them, so they can scratch the backs of the Satellite providers. So much for the open feeds, unless you buy into Shaw Direct and subscribe to the rest of their crappy SD...

I have my Lukens back, at 83w Ku, but the quality strength is only about 35%. It's watchable, eventhough the programming isn't. :)

No Lukens for me tonight either, on 83w ku. Luken is like the Soviet made Lada cars, in the 1970's. Poorest quality and falling apart at the seams. A mickey mouse outfit, if I've ever seen one.

I just don't understand RTV and their signal issues, here in the eastern arc. You'd think that they'd want to have good, strong transponders, to get their product out there. Sure, their target audience is the over-the-air subchannel market, but don't you think that any audience is better then...

Rumour has it, that SES2 was supposed to locate to 103w. Maybe they're testing it for when it moves. They may also have decided to up the power, considering the Lukens are now compressing more channels on that bird.

I've had no luck locking these with a 6 footer, here in southeastern Ontario. I guess I'd better start looking for a 10' dish and see if I can pull them in.
