    ANIK F2 - Thy End Is Near

    Before making that comment, I had not noticed the page 3 of the list for 11/30/23 with Animal Planet, GSN, OWN, Documentary, Crime and Investigation, Cooking, Paramount. Those will sting people with only F2.

    ANIK F2 - Thy End Is Near

    Lots of channels. It could be worse. Not many highly viewed nationwide stations there. Dawson City 75cm dropouts have been moved up 5 months. 6 months ahead for Whitehorse/Yellowknife. Seems like this news will trump the others: "In view of the unexpected increases in ANIK F2’s...

    With the 2/21/23 bulletin migration dates behind us, is there any information available regarding future channel migrations (MPEG4 to HEVC or F2 to G1)?

    ANIK F2 - Thy End Is Near

    The movement doesn't sound sustainable for fixed antennas. Shaw used to have a page where you could download spreadsheets of channels with satellite and transponder information. Does anyone know where that information has gone?

    ANIK F2 - Thy End Is Near

    Thanks everyone. Moving forward, I would expect Shaw to use the approximately 5 remaining months to gradually migrate channels to G1. By carefully selecting which channels to migrate and when, they can better control the customer service call volume and installer appointments. They won't...

    ANIK F2 - Thy End Is Near

    Do I have this right? 1. Shaw and Telesat moved 46 channels from F2 to G1 allowing F2 more bandwidth for the remaining F2 channels. They also changed modulation on F2 to increase signal strength and for more error tolerance. These changes allow the operator to lessen the rate of satellite...

    Starchoice Initial Installation - Brand New Box - Huge Dish - Low Signal Level

    Hello Chemie, Thanks a lot for the info. I am hoping that is what it is. The receiver reports lower signal level than the receiver really has. Like you, I don't know if that's really the issue but it is positive to hear someone else stating the same thing. I think it is the issue even...

    Starchoice Initial Installation - Brand New Box - Huge Dish - Low Signal Level

    Helllo CSPiteri, I don't know what you mean by perforated. Damaged? hehe... It's a Fiberglass KU offset. We move the dish a few degrees to the west and pickup Echo 110 very strong with this dish - just put the circular LNB on for that and a dish 311 receiver. I'm going to try a...

    Starchoice Initial Installation - Brand New Box - Huge Dish - Low Signal Level

    Hello, We're trying to setup a brand new SC box south of the boarder. We actually are in Central Mexico. Normally in this area people use a 1.2m (4 foot) dish to pickup SC. We have several dishes and the one we are testing with is actually 2.4m (8 feet!). Here is the issue and...
