Canadian Sat Thread?

[MCIBUS]

Does anyone know where the Canadian Sat Forum/threads are? can't seem to find them?

 

[Tampa8]

I don't remember having them?

 

[TheKrell]

I do remember them. But I do not remember how long ago they vanished.

Deported?

Spring Cleaned out .

I think that's what happened. But did Canadian providers disappear completely, or did they simply get merged into some other forum we haven't found as yet?

The Canadian Satellite forums were put into the archives. I don't know where you would put current discussions.

You don't put them anywhere. It's gone. I miss it.

There was still some discussion going on last week, I think

I remeber seeing them on the "Old style" forum. Now that the forum has ben updated to the present looking one they've disappeared. Not sure why or if the owners of Satellite Guys no longer wishes to have one?

I wish they were where we could post to them. I have a question about my Shaw Direct channels not being received any more.

Agreed,
Not sure if your issue has something to do with the transition Shaw Direct started on April 4, and that was mentioned in the threads until a month ago, Shaw Direct will start to drop some std def channels from F1 and F2, which are already in HD on G1. I seem to remember that they would also convert to MPEG 4 some of the channels on F1 and F2,

Therefore those of us who are outside of G1's footprint will start losing channels, same thing if you don't have a 600 series receiver, since the previous ones can't do MPEG 4 channels.

Is there anyway the owners of the forum can bring back the Canadian Sat section?

This sounds exactly like what is happening to me. I don't know if Shaw is worth it ($$) since I'm getting so few channels. I wish Bell's footprint reached back into the states.

A lot of changes coming in the next 2+ years as Shaw plans to make all channels HD. This is a basic forum we use, but you all can ask any questions here from the cdn installers, pretty good bunch of guys. http://bstarchoiceinstallersforum.runboard.com/

Really shame they sent the Canadian forum to archives here, but their prerogative. It is after all "America's Best Satellite Discussion"

If enough remembers ask for the Canadian forum to return maybejyst maybe the owners of the forum(not sure who they are)might bring it back.

That would be Scott Greczkowski.

 

[Bobby]

It might have a bit to do with the few posts in the forum, relatively. There were a total of 185 posts over the last 15 months. That's 19 posts a month.

Those interested in Canadian sat providers could also check digitalhome.ca forums

 

[navychop]

Maybe a "Canadian and Caribbean" forum, that would include Mexico. Might draw enough traffic.
