    ExpressVu card swap issue

    Try putting the new smart card into the receiver and try doing a check switch. If it will check the switch, when its finished, shut off the Bell receiver with the remote and it will turn itself on and do a software update and load a guide. Worth a try.

    SC 317 guide hours?

    Thank you Jumbo Dumbo. Memory doesn't cost that much that it couldn't have been in the receiver in the beginning of the planning stages and manufacturing of the present day receivers. Just another instance of poor upper management decisions. Heck, we don't want to make it too good for the end...

    SC 317 guide hours?

    Thanks hiker for your reply. I just got off the phone talking with a CSR at Star Choice and they told me that in April of next year is the schedule to increase the advance guide time. Two days with some models and 3 days with other models is just poor advance planning for a guide in my opinion...

    Your post #8 and post #15 have me confused as they appear to be in opposition to one another. However, equipment can be purchased from information in post #7.

    Looking to add Canadian TV

    You get around that business about the social security number if you tell them from the outset that you are a Canadian wanting a satellite system for your second residence or vacation home in the town of wherever. You also give them your Canadian cell phone number as that is what you use at your...

    Looking to add Canadian TV

    I know of Canadians that have Dish receivers authorized for an area that they can receive the local networks from and using a real address from that town usually an apartment buiding as their service address. Their billing address can be a different area like a friends house. The phone number...

    Looking to add Canadian TV

    Yes having a satellite provider in either country charge a credit card in the other country is done without question every day by many people. I even give them my cell phone number which is my only phone, no land lines in the house. That way no phone line is expected to be plugged into the...

    Looking to add Canadian TV

    I would suggest you call your friend on Vancouver Island and ask if he is receiving any Canadian satellite tv. If so, ask him if he will purchase you a receiver of your choice along with a dish and LNBF. Have it authorized at his house and billing by automatic credit card deduction on your...

    I imagine *C is hoping that Bev keeps the new satellites beamed tightly to Canada. All the more business for them with their home away from home program across the border. The *C signal reaches all of North America without the problems that Bev people are getting. If you want Canadian...

    Don't think so. They have to be blind not to see what *C is gaining south of the border with their great signal covering North America and home away from home program.

    NFL Sunday coverage changes

    CTV made an offer of over a billion to buy the CHUM stations and was accepted but the regulator CRTC said only if CTV does not own 2 stations in the same city. CTV is considering. CTV also said to the CRTC that programming would be 100% different. To me that means if CTV shows NFL, Chum...
