:confused: If your "friend" wants to do the "right thing" he'd be paying for a public use license not a residential subscription.

I have used KuSat for equipment several times and I use TVM now for brokerage. I just completed my first year with them. I can highly recommend them both. I previously used FreewaySupport for brokerage (there's plenty of comments on here about them) and they were greedy, slow to respond and...

You must have the old software in it. It will have to take the update download to have the option in the receiver setup menus. If you go to the system status screen (Option-6-4-7) you'll see line H. Current Version. That's your current version. The current version for the 505 is 00.34. If...

I can definitely say not to use a made-up address. I used to have ExpressVu (I now have StarChoice). I used the address of someone I knew in Canada (with their permission) and their fax number. Well, after 8 months my service was suspended. I called to find out why and they told me they had got...

I enjoyed Drive-In Classics on EV but I won't be subscribing on SC because of its bundle. There just isn't anything else in it that interests me. :(

Me either. I installed mine in 2 deg F, 20MPH winds weather in the dark with a flashlight in my mouth. It took me about 20 minutes.

Yep. I just swapped my ExVu dish for StarChoice in 10 degree weather and 20 MPH wind. We're sure persistent.

I just pulled the trigger and bought a DSR505. I am also having the pop-up subscription windows as well. I have 00.14. I had problems with receiving the second satellite. As it turns out I have a bad LNB. I went from the first to the fourth connection on the LNB and that fixed it. I'm pretty...

6100 dont' have access cards, do they? I'm thinking they don't but just checking in case it's the old access card.

Wonderful. :( So, apparently the issues I've been reading about are true. I was so looking forward to getting the 530.

I'd like to see a real-world comparison as well. I'd also like to see what actual users think. I'm quite interested in the DSR530 but I stumbled across another website yesterday and there were huge problem discussions going on for the DSR530.

it's going to have to be plugged into the power and dish. It needs a constant signal to update the keys or it times out. The receivers aren't really off when they're 'off'. The guide is always updating and the encryption is still running.

Please keep in mind that the way the new Nagra 2 cards are set up, if you leave the receiver unplugged for more than a couple days the card will unsubscribe and you'll have to call back into Bell for a rehit on the receiver. This corrects a defect in the way authorization was handled in the...

Dish won't authorize a BEV receiver for use. You'd also need a Dish Nagra2 card.

I had no idea that's where you lived. I'm just south of you. I could have helped you with it or given you the name of a installer I know would have done it for you. Just remember putting a dish on a roof here can be a problem. The dish angle is about 45 degrees and facing just west of south. Our...

Well, I don't think he's going to get the dish for the ~$30 difference in price you posted either. It appears that buying a Dish500 dish is >$50 (plus shipping if mail ordered). Again, it would still be cheaper.

Well, if you get the Starchoice HD box it's going to be $389.89CAD whether you get the dish or not. The ExpressVu is going to be $299.89CAD with or without dish. You're not going to be buying the Dish500 dish for $10. Get the system package and you'll have everything you need.

I haven't switched to SC from ExpressVu yet but I you need a minimum of the "locals" tier (which for SC is "Digital Basic") and then you can add the Sunday Ticket on top of that. So, you'd have a recurring C$20 monthly plus the $179 hit once (their site says: $179.00 is a one time cost to...

Coronation Street is on 6 days a week on the CBC affiliates.

Sorry, I'm going to have to give you a D- for that post. It's one long run-on sentence and no punctuation at all.

Good grief. Even with broadband it takes forever. They're throttling the flash transfer down to 250-300kbps and you have to transfer every section of the presentation seperately.

Which is exactly how Freeway Support operates. They used to be just an annual fee and then they started surcharging programming. They always charged and then paid the service. Their ever-increasing fees and ever-reducing ability to contact them in a reasonable period of time is why I left them.

You got it. Just try calling the provider directly branchbouncer and place an order. First off, you can't even call ExpressVu's free number from the US. If you figure out how to call through their direct dial number they'll be happy to tell you that you can NOT have ExpressVu in the US.

bryan, I'm rather surprised at our difference in signal levels. I'm only using a single sat dish but I get signal strengths of 95-98 and I'm in Meadville. And, I'm assuming your figure for the 200 miles to the border is by driving to the Peace Bridge because downtown Pittsburgh due north to...

When I ordered receivers from kusat I was charged brokerage. I actually got the bill in the mail a while later.
