    Activating Dish in Canada

    You can call Dish 1-800 from Canada... Just use an AT&T phone card from WalMart. It is not cheap (about 20 cents a minute) but it is alot easier than getting my sister in law in Tampa do make a 3 way call. Be prepared - if you own your equipment, they will want a social security number to do a...

    SC down South...way south!

    Hey Cheebs glad you got the receiver! I would think that for aiming at a single satellite, adjusting the skew would be easiest at the LNB.

    Difference between StarChoice LNB's

    Can some explain to me the difference between the stacked and quad LNB's that they use? Even the installer could not give me a half decent explanation, even though he did an excellent job. The stacked dish has an external switch and the qud is build in - is the switch different? I do know that...

    Bell to sell majority stake in BGM..

    First off, I appreciate all of the information that this site has provided since I started poking around here. This news on Friday last week was very surprising, if you do not already know, or really care: Bell anounced that they would sell their majority stake in BGM (operator of CTV, TSN...
