    Any US actions against a subscriber?

    Again, Canadian law has no bite outside the Canadian Borders. Until there is a US Law of the same, you are clear. Bottom line, you are subbing to E* or D* - so they are making money. No skin off their back. And I for one, would LOVE, to have a D* or E* installer try to notify SC or BEV...

    HDNet launches March 22 on SC

    The PPV's were SD weren't they???? If so, they need to get rid of a ton of them for 2 HD Channels. And why would they put WGN-HD at 294 between the Canadian English and French Channels? If they add more Canadian HD Channels, WGN-HD will REALLY be out of place. It sounds like SC is about to...

    It's not illegal for an American to receive SC. Now if you were hacking it, you might run afoul of the law - but as you have a legal box, who cares? In the worst case, you spend part of your time here and part of it there - thus you use it when you are down here - no issues.

    SC to start 8PSK HD

    What did they use it for before, especially if most IRDs could not use it?

    Issue with SC DSR-505

    I had not used my SC DSR-505 in several weeks as I redoing my input switches - and attempted it for the first time in several weeks last night. It was never lost power (or signal) that I am aware of. I am running it via YPbPr to the HDTV. For whatever reason, the 16:9 HD Material is now...

    In most cases they throw a dart at a map.

    Any US actions against a subscriber?

    Just to respond here as I have gotten several Private Messages about this, hopefully, this will explain it again. If a broker used a telephone number he had, it wouldnt take very long before they spotted that a number of people at different locations had the same phone number and that would...

    Make one up....no real reason to have one. As noted, the brokers do that.

    Canadian locals eligible in the US.

    TSN and/or Sportsnets pay rights fees to the team/league for a specific region/country. That does not include the USA. They would have to purchase the rights to USA distribution if they wanted to do that - and that would probably make them loose all their US Based Programming as they could...

    Any US actions against a subscriber?

    I don't know how I can be much clearer about this. They had my name which has never been on the phone ANI or in a phone book - or any public record. They had an address which is on NO RECORDS, PERIOD - only a credit report and the IRS have the address - and the nick name I go by is not the...

    Again - as stated - they are using other databases to cross reference phone numbers and names. So the phone book is immaterial.

    Hockey No More.....Star Choice Denied NHL Hockey

    www.skyreport.com Star Choice Denied NHL Hockey Shaw Communications subsidiary Star Choice - one of two Canadian providers of direct-to-home satellite services - is being forced to blackout certain NHL games to its hockey-loving subscribers. The company is halting the broadcasts in...

    Any US actions against a subscriber?

    Yes - and as noted, many companies are instantly cross-referencing that ANI information with other databases to get more information that just your name and number. Again, I have never been a D* sub in my name - nor is my first name on my telephone number, account, telephone books etc. It is...

    SC 7 series receivers

    Interesting, I cannot find that as the definition of a real DVR at any source except in your post.

    And dial *67-1-800-437-7950 to see how ridiculous it is for people to think that the Satellite Providers CANNOT tell the number they are calling from when they dial *67.

    That doesn't mean I am not using 2 of them at the moment and thus my question.

    BEV to Release New HD Rx'ers?....

    That really sucks as the newer receivers are hell with skiddish signals and the sequence they go through after a reception error.

    Shipping south

    I was told when I asked the last year @ KuSAT you needed a dish starting with a 1.x in Mexico.

    Others have had no issue getting SC south of Texas - just need a bigger dish than that 75cm in your photo.

    BEV future plans

    Does D* have a lease there or are they just parking a spare bird there and using it until the BEV bird arrives - which I thought I remembered reading somewhere but honestly did not pay close attention.

    BEV future plans

    The site listing has that as a November 15, 2006 piece of information (or filing perhaps). You are saying that in the course of 75 days that BEV's world has turned upside down and their long term strategy is totally obsolete in that course of time :confused: Regardless, I found the...
