*67 does not work if calling toll free numbers (800,866,877,888,etc). Need a broker or canadian voip for starchoice.

Question is will the 537 be a real DVR and let you record two things at the same time while watching something already recorded?

FYI *67 does not work on toll free numbers. As the number called has to pay for each call for abuse issues they get your pots line # or the pri # you are calling from if using voip. Not that StarChoice seems to care. This is why some 800 #'s that are in-state only do not work. They receive the...

I'm sure there will be in 24 months when they plan on having 100 total.

Don't they also plan on moving to mpeg4 in the near future? Next question is when are they going to have a dual tuner dvr that lets you record two shows at once and does not cost an arm and a leg.:) I wish they'd drop Motorola. They make some of the worst stb's.

A4 is the correct satellite. Sounds like you are all set!

New channels look pretty good here. My office lcd tv only does 720p though. :)

Used these two links and had no problems getting the dish installed. http://www.starchoice.ca/english/store/download/Self_Install_Kit_Manual_Eng.pdf http://www.global-cm.net/CAN/SC/point/USAangskew.html - use the right hand column for the 76 cm dish

I never needed to give them my SS# and the billing/service address does not need to match the address on your card.

Thank you for the advice. After a long hold, all is now working. *EDIT* to clear up confusion. I called my broker who then called SC with me on the phone. *EDIT*

Ok, I am being impatient. Does the 505 need to be on channel 299 and in standby or tuned to channel 299 and ON to activate? Been 24 hours since my account was setup.

Got the dish up quickly this morning. Very easy setup. I will have to fine tune it this weekend but for now, on 299 I get about 81 signal and +9 on the diagnostic screen. I have the green dish on the receiver. Kusat got my info sent to SC* around 4:30pm eastern. Just waiting for SC* activation...

Got the goods today. Did not get a chance to install it before the sun went down. That dish is quite huge. Good thing its plastic.:-) Hope to get it up before work and if not, after work tomorrow.

It sat in Plattsburg since Tuesday. Finally left today. Should be here Monday.:)

Napstr, looks like customs is screwing me now. Was supposed to be delivered today and then tomorrow and now Monday. Like our wonderful border "security" will really even check the boxes.

Thank you for the info. I was not aware that SC* would not be using F3.

What happens when Anik F3 goes to 118? Time to buy a new dish?

Kusat seems to be excellent. Ordered this morning and it shipped already. They gave me a call and asked if I needed "assistance" and explained what steps to take. Hopefully it will get here by the weekend via ground.

Who is your broker?

ok i'm an idiot. I was thinking N1/N3 and N2 would be west of the directv sats. They are actually east for me which is the only open area i have. Should be a perfect shot. Thanks for the help.

Yeah i've had Sunday ticket for 5 years now. HD is a must. Is the Dish 500 quad lnb what i need? I have a friend that just bailed on dish and he is willing to give me that. All i'd need is a cheap receiver since I'm guessing the dish receivers wont see N1/N3 or N2. I live in a very small...

I have a dual dish setup. About 15 feet apart. Single dish gets 101 and then my elliptical gets 110 and 119. Cant seem to get all three from my yard. I think i'd prefer BEV due to the HD content and their hd-dvr seems better then the *C hddvr. Am I wrong?

I'm not sure if I can get N1/N3 or N2 due to my house being surrounded by trees. I am able to get D* but its tough. Is there any way i can buy a cheap dish/reciever off ebay to see if I can get it working? What would I need to get? Is a smart card required for checking signal strengths? If it...

Do all updates download and activate via satellite?

I could get a canadian number from my voip provider, but what address would I use. I'm guessing SC probably mails stuff out occasionally. That would be bad.
