    NBC on103w

    Interesting......I found that the east feed tp has changed in strength compared to the west feed. Before a month ago I used to get about 80-82% (depending on how cold it is). Now it stays at 76-78%. The west feed can reach as high as 92%, which never changed. If I manually move the dish (using...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Danristeman, it is metal and very solid. I would compare this to the very sought after GEOSATpro dish that has been disconnected here in Canada. I don't know how a fiberglass dish would be in terms of weight.

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Hi Von, Yes I certainly will. Can't wait until the spring time to start experimenting with the dish. Amazing equipment of high quality. The dish was so damn heavy it was a chore to get it in the SUV! I was lucky it did fit. Should have protected the floor of the car the dish had sharp edges...

    Say good bye (Or maybe HELLO) to EBRU

    I just sent them a message through their webpage. I complimented them on specific programming and mentioned that I don't have any other option to watch their channel, other than streaming shows online.

    METV on 101West

    The weather has affected me too. Not to the point of break up, but the signal levels on KU band have been low on certain sats since the weather in the NE (including Toronto) has been crappy. Wait and see if it improves when the weather clears up. EDIT: Just re-read the end of your post, I have...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Does anyone have an update on the AMC1 / SES 3 replacement? It was to take place back in August, but there is some issues that have delayed it to December 2014. Will it happen by the end of the year? For the NBC feeds I've had to skew the lnb and because of this, some borderline feeds I've...

    More Cozi fun

    I've read comments here that the dish finish does not really affect the amount of signal gathered for the feeder horn. Maybe its more about cosmetics than anything else, but I can't help but wonder that your signal should be higher than 85% on a 1.8 meter dish. My signal meter (MiniMe) for COZI...

    Is this channel hard to tune in, meaning in general?

    This may be a long shot but was the signal booming before the weather change ix Tx? I've heard the temps dipped down there. I found that since it have gotten colder here, the signal on some transponders has increased (eg. NBC feeds, COZI on AMC1). Although, I can no longer lock the BVN TV...

    LPB - SES2

    Actually I did a rescan this morning and they came it after the scan.

    LPB - SES2

    I can't get a signal anymore. None of the channels are coming in. Am on the only one?

    72w/103w question

    Interesting, I pick up the NBC's and COZI on 103 pretty solid now on my old 33" dish. I was really surprised, but since I realigned the dish, bought the Azbox and install a new avenger LNB, the signal on COZI is about 80%. I had considerable heavy rain one day last week and COZI / NBC had...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    I don't think so. I was at Dr. Sat's in Oakville and I saw the new 1.2m dish in his store. I asked about it and he said that they should be releasing it in about two weeks. There were a few modifications they had to do to it. I mentioned that I was interested in buying it when it was available...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Anyone interested in getting a Geosatpro dish and live in the GTA? I received an e-mail from rpssat.com and said he can quote me on one, but if I pool it, it would be better. Any takers?

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    I spoke to this guy today at in Mississauga. He was not informative at all and was not interested in answering my questions. He couldn't even tell me what the maker of the dish he has and its on the website. I was on the phone with a retailer in Oakville called Dr. Sat. We actually spoke for...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Whereabouts are you? I am in North York. With a Winegard flying arrow/ CM 7777 pre-amp / CM rotor mounted on my chimney and I think I got COZI twice this summer for about 10 minutes. CBS/ABC/FOX come in at 98% (Sony Bravia meter doesn't reach 100%). NBC is my most troublesome Buffalo station...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    OK, so I called Glorytar.tv and they said they do not ship to Canada. The Geosatpro 1.2 m is oversized and can't be shipped for CA to Toronto. It would cost me about $500.00. But, I appreciate the help Catamount. Ray from Ray Marine System did reply to my request and said he would give me a...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    I've checked their website, the only site office they mention is in CA. Strange thing is, on the top of their website you can toggle from the "Canadian" and "US" Stores, but when you add an item to the cart it doesn't allow you to enter a Canadian postal code. EDIT: My apologies I was able to...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    I've sent an e-mail to Worldwidesatellites, looking at their website, it looks like they stop selling the winegard based on their website.

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Thanks, I live very close to Tek2000. The 120cm they list on their website looks like a no-name. By their description, they play it up like it is a fantastic dish. Would be nice if someone here has bought from them with good reviews or bad. :) BTW...the Worldwidesatellites only sell 1.2m Fortec...

    NHL games

    I recently bought the Geopro MicroHD. From what I can see, some NHL games are sometimes backhauled. Since I have been out of the loop for a while, was it worth it to have purchased a 4:2:2 receiver or the MicroHD would be sufficient?

    Come again? You go back to the menu graphic board and then click back and that clears it?

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    I don't think it is a bid deal because there is a thread on here that talks about having problems with 103W NBC as well, so I will mention it. That is was I have issue with. I pick up almost everything on my visible arc, but since my re-adjustment, I thought it would improve the channels when...

    1.2 m Dish - Greater Toronto Area

    Beavs2112, do you pick up c-band with a Winegard 1.0m dish? I got a response from the guy in Montreal by suggestion from Titanium. They too no longer carry GEOsatpro due to poor sales. But he suggested to go to their Markham office and pick up a Digiwave dish. How are they? I agree that I don't...
