    Mexican DBS in US!

    That won't be easy, since Sky Mexico signal is not easily accessible in the U.S. other than the southern states. I live in Northern California and I would have trouble getting the signals on PAS 9 (too low elevation). When DirecTV latin America was available, it was easily accessible. I...

    Mexican DBS

    That's strange. I think Sky Mexico can easily be received in the southern states, including Georgia and Texas... Anyway, DirecTV Mexico is no longer available. It went belly up. So Sky is the only service left.

    Canadian/US services Redux

    That's because your typical DirecTV/Dish users are clueless about BEV or *C. DirecTV/Dish users are so ignorant that 99.999% of them think there are only two satellites in the sky, for DirecTV and Dish Network. Canadian service? what's that? It's not the case the other way around. I bet most...

    Canadian/US services Redux

    Me bad. I am not aware of the appeal rulings. The last time we exchanged on this topic in this forum (back in January), it was still 2 months away from the appeal decision... This is the problem I have with the Canadian ruling, with BS reasoning like that. Notice the reasoning is really a...

    You may not notice, but NOT TELLING THE TRUTH is not a crime, if the recipent of the message does NOT care about the truth. Afterall, this is not a perjury situation in court. Even if the recipient thinks that it's a problem, it's still a civil suit between the two parties (i.e. the recipient...

    Canadian/US services Redux

    It was illegal, at least in Quebec, for Canadians to subscribe to Dish/DirecTV only from May 2002 to October 2004. On October 28, 2004, Judge Danielle Cote ruled that it's against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom to prohibit Canadians to subscribe to DirecTV and Dish Network...

    Hotbird is only beamed to Europe. USA is not under the footprint, thus you can't get any signals... If you look at their footprint map, the green mass of land on the left hand corner is not North America. It's Greenland.

    The judgement was in Quebec, but it CAN be an influence on judgement in other provinces. Yes, the government can appeal. Before any judgement on the appeal, it cannot be illegal.

    There is nothing illegal about it. As Danielle Cote ruled in Quebec, the prohibition of subbing DN/DTV in Canada is against the Charters of Rights and Freedom. In other words, the government canNOT prohibit Candians from subbing DN, DTV or any other ethnic services originated from the American...

    Mexican DBS

    Mexican has two DBS service: DirecTV Mexico and Sky Mexico. The northmost location in the U.S. that can get signals, as I know for years, has been New York. Recently, I have heard of a guy getting signals from Chicago. The problem is gettting the equipment and the activation. Mexico DBS...

    It wasn't illegal before April 2002, when the reverse grey market was allowed in Canada. In April 2002, the Canadian Supreme Court issued a clarification that the RCA prohibited Canadians from subbing to a foreign service. This clarification mainly focused on grey market equipment vendors...
