In the US almost all radio stations are now broadcasting (in some cases several) HD (digital) signals. The quality is fantastic. Where can I get information about Canadian HD radio stations?

How about the fact that on Thursday/Friday you cannot watch the PGA tournament in HD on TNT? I cannot understand why anyone who cares about sports would ever want to go with a Canadian provider. No ESPN, no ESPN2, no regional sports networks. What is sumulcast is simsubbed with insulting...

You gotta be kidding. $500 for an H20 receiver? These are free in the US after rebate. Why not just drop down to your local Costco in the US and pick one up?

I looked at the document and I do not see where the supreme court ruling specifically addressed what is called "gray market". If it were illegal it wouldnt be "gray". In any event, consider the wording *false permanent address*. If someone who is in Canada has a legitimate US permanent...

Thats what I thought. As long as one is not illegally receiving services without paying for a subscription it is not against the law to receive US satellite signals in Canada.

Your analogy does not make sense. A drug is a physical product that would have to be imported. A satellite signal is not a physical product that can be carried or possessed. I would challenge anyone to provide the full text of the purported Canadian law that would prohibit one from...

On several occasions, I bought a DirecTV receiver off Ebay and had it shipped directly to Canada. It went through customs without problems except for them charging ridiculous sales taxes based on a value of hundreds of dollars. Later I got these refunded. But what exactly is the Canadian...

I was watching the results on CSPAN last night, which was mirroring the CBC broadcast and right after Martin was finished speaking, they lost their satellite feed. I figured that it was some government plot to stop the US from listening to Harper's speech, but they recovered the signal just in...

What is ridiculous is that the Canadian government thinks they can control public information by censorship. There are so many alternative sources of information these days that many people have the ability to access them. All the government does is prevent the poor and underprivileged people...

What nonsense. CSPAN promises to show one of the Canadian network feeds. So anyone with a US satellite dish can see it. Typical for Canadians to discriminate against their own citizens.

Its not clear from these press releases what is spotbeamed and what is not. For instance on the MPEG2 satellites the HD channels from NY and LA are on the national beam, so that might also be the case for the MPEG4 satellites. Also, I called up Cabletronix in Calgary and when they asked...

I did my homework. Apparently you have not. The 5LNB dish is not aligned using any Ka satellite signals; it is aligned using only the signals from the 101 and 119 satellites (MPEG2). The MPEG4 satellites fall into place automatically following the proper installation procedures. It is...

Do you know this to be a fact? I read somewhere that for the time being everything was on the "national" beam. In any event, the dish is significantly bigger in terms of gain and that is important with snow and rain that far north.

Anyone know a good satellite installer in the Calgary area? I am having trouble finding someone willing to install the new 5LNB DirecTV dish. Thanks.

Wll I am not going to fork out hundreds of dollars just to buy something I already have. If I reactivate my receiver on Dish Network, is there any way they can check its location outside the US? (I would not connect a local phone line to it.)

How can one activate a Dish Network receiver (HDTV model 942) on Expressvu? They would not do it for me when I called up.
