STAY AWAY FROM FREEWAY!!!!!

I was with Freeway for 3 years (S*), what a headache. I now use TVM, great service and costs MUCH less then Freeway. Can-Am only handles Bell as far as I know, tried them before finding TVM.

Just as a FYI...I steer people away from Freeway more than you probably do

Iceberg,

I just found this site, I am usually over at satforums. I am glad to hear you are warning of Freeway. Man what a nightmare! I even had to buy 2 new S* boxes because they would not decommision me. I still have them sitting here in an unusable condition. Oh I could go on, and on...

Never used them but heard the horror stories

(heck, there's a few in this section)

KUSAT is now an address broker. I don't know much about them, so I will not recommend them. But I encourage others to post their experiences with Kusat.

 

[Mr Tony]

Purchased my equipment from them....wont use them as a broker...kind of high

Their customer service is sort of bad. One of the guys who works there is quite rude on the phone. I've contacted them now twice about installation issues and haven't heard back. So, I don't really know if I'd trust them as brokers (imagine trying to change your programming and NOT hearing from them???). TVM is my broker and they have been great so far. And they're cheaper!!

Anybody heard of this outfit?
http://www.canamsatellites.com/
Offer both BEV and SC

Can't find anything on broker fees. Equipment looks reasonable.
Looks to good to be true.

Another steer clear of outfit - just go with TVM and avoid the hassles. Their dish pointing calculator is at least 4 years out of date for example - doesn't show Nimiq 2 and shows the long retired E2 @107.5 which was replaced years ago by F1 @107.3

 

[bigorangekitty]

[Mr Tony]

I have been with canam for two years, never a problem, very happy to pay my broker fee once a year. we are very pleased with Canadian programming and timeshifting.

I can't agree more. I used Freeway for three years and it was price increase upon price increase with reduction in what they were giving you for that price. The high surcharge on top of the existing subscription rates was the last straw for me.

I'd like to switch to TVM but I don't have their contact information.

 

[Mr Tony]

you will soon

 

[pretzelboy]

Thank you. The information was appreciated.

I can understand using a "broker" to give you a Canadian address. However, why not just pay them their fee and YOU do all the calling into BEV yourself on their 416 number. I have called them myself for 3 years. (I have a Canadian address i can use, so don't need a broker.)
I still think some sort of clearing house on line would be feasible where Canadians who need a U.S. address can exchange addresses with "southern" Canadians who need a Canadian address.
