    Future of C-Band Paid Programming

    Judging by infrastructure problems plaguing everything, the direction of the world economy, the nature of technology being built according to global demand and the actual problems with Internet delivery C-Band should have a future equivalent to income tax; therefore remaining a viable option...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. I got a good dish - captures signal well and appears to be as strong as my other dishes - from a company actively displaying zero product knowledge and probably inconsistent in purchasing and branding. I find an increasing number of suppliers...

    139W from the East Coast?

    I have a 1.2 meter Ku working well over tree tops at 10.4º (63º to 125º). Sometimes using the right computer language can help get to the heart of the matter. It can clear the room so you can concentrate on difficult cables requiring contact to work.

    What would that be - about 8' X 5' - that could work on a Jetta for a couple of hundred kilometres. I go further with a 17.5' kayak but the shape is more aerodynamic. The thought of having a photograph of me with the car ensnared in something circulated on the Internet as an impromptu...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    cyberham with buddy cool cat: You really do travel the Maritimes. I had to look up Wedgeport although I have been far enough in that direction to kayak the beautiful Kejimkujik. I hope you get to Newfoundland as well, such a stunning place by all measure. My hunt is over for now (if I have a...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    The DWD-180T catches lots of signal in the rain this far north...from one satellite. For anyone looking at this dish I should mention that as late as yesterday support at Digiwave in Markham, ON (HomeVision Technology Inc.) sent email recommending actuator DMT-HV-18 and V-Box II work with a...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    I do now, it arrived a couple of hours ago. Oh well. I was hoping Digiwave would make a polar mount for it as they supply actuators but if they don't there is one satellite of special interest so the others will have to be manually set if at all. Edit: As the DWD-180CBX looks remarkably similar...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    I am and it is! After reading about success in northern locations with 6' dishes I downsized my search and ordered a new one with an LNB including shipping from a place in Newmarket, Ontario through eBay (items 251011500682 251033685984). If it works well enough with a few satellites I will...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    jsattv: Kijiji has no listings for BUDs in the province (which has the total population of a town); there are only five associated listings under satellite. My wife's job includes driving to homes up dale and down glen and she has been keeping a watchful eye and listening ear with no success...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    I'm with you toucan-man, when we moved here (city to rural beach area) we were surprised at the proliferation of dishes; now it's Bell Satellite on the roof and gardens maintained by lawn tractors. I don't even see them used as flower pot holders or vine trellises. tdti1: thanks for the tip...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    We have been looking around for dishes but they have disappeared over the last few years. I have no idea what happened to them but it seems iffy and probably not cost effective to drive to another province or state (overnight in most cases) in hopes of locating one. I will keep an eye on Global...

    Bud Dish Availability in Canada

    I can find C satellite dish lnbs and actuators for sale in Canada but can't find a dish anywhere. As parts are available I must be missing the point on sourcing the dish. I am concerned about shipping costs so have tried to keep my search within the country, preferably close to the east coast...
