I finally got my channel master 90cm dish up and running on nimiq 4 signal strengths run 60 to 80 with no rainfade..this took me a long time to perfect but it works great I live in the US in SW Indiana
 
I know the signal starts cutting out that far south so maybe he kept trying to maximize the signal

I guess thats what he means by "perfect"
 
I saw that ad too on another French Canadian website. It's not what I thought it might be. You can read about it here:

DISH Network International Programming- French Programming Package

I was suprised to see the ad on a Canadian website. I haven't heard that the CRTC has changed any rules about Canadians receiving TV signals from outside Canada, nor have I read anything about Dish being offered openly outside the US. Still the same ol' cold war as far as TV signals go......SRC has a neat thing called tou.tv for viewing some of their regular programming via the web.....but you just know that if you try to view it from the US, it detects your location from the IP address and blacks it out......:rant:

Anyway, as you can see from the ad, it's French language programming alright, but not anything that originates in Canada.....

This may be an effect of the website owner subscribing to an "Ad service" that bases the ads you see based on location, subject, etc.

For example, when I'm at home, I get ads that point to local vendors, but when I visit the same site at my parents house, I get vendors local to them.

Alternatively, the site owner may see more traffic from the US, so they got an Ad from Dish (US), figuring most folks from Canada already have access to french programming (through at a minimum SRC & TVA)

Not sure where you are from, but it could be any of these...

Hi,

Concerning tou.tv, you can access the video from outside Canada using a Canadian proxy. Just google the string "free proxy server canada" and you'll get a list of free proxy server site. I found this one to work for me: Canada Open Proxy List
Once you have a proxy server ip, you just modify the LAN settings of your browser by pointing to the proxy. Then when you connect to tou.tv, it'll think that you're coming from Canada.
