Canada Freesat?

[Keith Brannen]

Can someone with access tell us the IPaddress?

Using an online traceroute:
69.90.162.110 hp42.hostpapa.com

They probably use apache virtual hosts at hp42.hostpapa.com so I guess we are out of luck... thanks anyway.

When I use the IP address instead of the www name, a page with "Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server" information comes up.

As further confirmation to the problem being the DNS lookup, one online traceroute I used (in Germany, I believe) could not find the address using its own DNS lookup, but when I entered my ISP's DNS lookup, it found it.

There might be no free channels after all

Yes, their site has been flaky lately. I wonder if they are doing an update. I wasn't able to access it a few minutes ago, and now it works.

I don't know if I should have started a new thread on this one, but here it is: It sounds like BluSky HDTV won't be offering free channels after all according to an article that can be read in Google cache: The Wire Report

FreeHD will not provide free, high-definition programming that Lewis had originally intended to provide to Canadian communities expected to lose over-the-air television signals as a result of the transition to digital television broadcasting.

It's still good for the Canadian market to have more competition.

Just checked on this URL and neither my nTelos data card nor my BASICISP.net dialup connection will connect to it?

I wouldn't be surprised if Canada Freesat ends up being DOA.

I'm on the other side of the island.

 

[musicmanitou]

strange....and you are from Canada in Newfoundland. I have a son and daughter in law in St Johns.

I'm on the other side (west coast) of the island.

If you really want to see it edit your /etc/hosts file (in linux)

69.90.162.110 bluskyhdtv.ca

If you run a some other OS here is a link on how to change your hosts file

Thanks to Keith for providing the IPaddress

I have to say that all the work to reach the site isn't worth it LOL.
