    Multiswitch Question

    How about leaving the 630 in the next room and using a wireless transmitter to feed the room? I think that you can get HD transmitters for around $200 these days..

    Diplex filter on Shaw feedline?

    I think you can add it to any package other than DIGITAL LITE. I see they're running a .01/month for 6 months promo now.

    Diplex filter on Shaw feedline?

    I've always chosen to run separate lines out of concern for the insertion loss of 2 diplexers. I'm not sure how they do the switching with the new xKU.

    What's New with Shaw Direct

    Probably far less than 1% in the US would be my bet.. I look for other StarChoice/ShawDirect dishes locally and I've only seen 2 others. I would guess the NFL could be one of the sources of friction on the move.

    Shaw Direct

    Short answer: If the LNB's on the 75 you have at home and in AZ are the same type then you can move an active receiver successfully. That far south you NOT be able to view any channels from G1.

    Canadian service below the 49th parallel

    For me the reason is primarily more sports, timeshifting of US networks, no DVR fee. I also enjoy watching both local and international news from a wide variety of sources. This augments my local cable TV service, OTA for LA locals and FTA satellite.

    NFL sunday ticket

    It does NOT auto-renew. The only information I have found so far is for the NEW NFLST Deluxe package that includes streaming and RedZone for $200 cdn. I called and was told by the agent that they will be offering the regular NFLST and NFLST/NHLCI packages but that there was no pricing...

    AMC HD on SD

    Unfortunately this is the SD feed and not the HD feed. The AMC HD screen bug indicates AMCHD on the HD feed. Hopefully they will get the correct feed up very soon.

    Cheapest SC monthly programming for Poor man ST in HD?

    I also recall watching several games on one of the Canadian HD network channels (forget which one). Mostly Buffalo games out of Toronto market. And I also watched a few games on RDS when they had a free preview. I added FTA this year so I could get those too.. Up to 5 games at a time in my...

    StarChoice antenna

    My understanding is that you can use a smaller dish if you only plan to use the signal form one bird. With a single bird dish you have a choice of non-HD english content or HD english / French content. You'll still need a larger dish if you're in the southern US.
