Have had this setup for 8+ years. 91W has stayed steady while I've been noticing the signal on 82W slowly deteriorating in the past few months and now it's completely gone. No trees or other interference, I swapped LNBs, even swapped which dish was pointed at which satellite. In every case, 91W is good, 82W not found. I am at the edge of the footprint. Did something change?]]> 0 APTN on Bell Sun, 01 Sep 2024 13:48:39 +0000 https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/aptn-on-bell.411980/ 411980 invalid@example.com (Ed Goldstein) Ed Goldstein I've been receiving APTN over Bell for years on their three feeds. As of September 1, they've reconfigured their channels so that there's one in English and French while a second channel will be in various native languages. But on my system, they've disappeared altogether. I'm not sure if that's normal when channels change their formats and names. It's now September and these channels should be showing up. My fear is that Bell moved them to Nimiq 4 (82 degrees) from Nimiq 6 (91 degrees). (I...

Interestingly, on Shaw Direct they are not showing the Olympics, rather the France Info channel 24 hours a day. I’m pretty sure the originating channel is showing the Olympics.

I’m sure copyright restrictions are behind this. Strange, though that we are allowed to watch the Olympics on NBC but not from St-Pierre et Miquelon.]]> 1 hdpvr 830 Wed, 24 Jul 2024 22:34:06 +0000 https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/hdpvr-830.410976/ 410976 invalid@example.com (Tommyboy) Tommyboy who wants a hdpvr 830]]> 4 ShawDirect Dish for Sale Sun, 02 Jun 2024 00:38:46 +0000 https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/shawdirect-dish-for-sale.409789/ 409789 invalid@example.com (mellaby) mellaby I brought back my 75cm lnb back from AZ, so now I have the dish and Direct Tv mount all for sale here in Calgary. $ 30.00]]> 1 Has anyone tried to stream services from Canada w/ Sat Dishes becoming a thing of the past in US.

I believe what it is is a stacker/destacker and some other associated equipment. I've uploaded the datasheets to Archive.org, because I could find next to no information online: Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine

I'm most interested in the SCU-2P3M and the SCD-2P3E, the former being the stacker and the latter...

I have a Shaw Direct that I have been using in Yuma. About a week ago I started loosing channels and now have nothing. So I’m guessing that all the channels are now on G1 and we can’t connected to that Satellite down here. Is this correct? Is anyone up and running Shaw Direct in Az?]]> 3 ANIK F2 - Thy End Is Near Mon, 11 Mar 2024 23:41:12 +0000 https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/anik-f2-thy-end-is-near.400479/ 400479 invalid@example.com (pacificrim) pacificrim The first phase of moving all channels from F2 to G1 has been accelerated and will take place starting Nov 9.
Fuel levels are apparently an issue with F2 and some power-saving measures may affect its footprint into USA.

These channels show as being MPEG4 after the move but at some point all will be HEVC and need a 8xx series receiver.
G1 footprint does not extend far into USA.

Just tried my super buddy 29 to read the signal strength from my Shaw dish. I am watching tv off it. I found out that I get a reading on left tube but the right tube to give signal strength does not register. I have downloaded updated files for the meter. I have it on xku . Does anyone have any suggestions. My backup buddy does not read either so I know unit is not broken. I suspect it is because of Shaw...

I'm looking for a Norsat 4508C which is on the list of compatible lnb's. I recently purchased a japanese NJR2842A1 model, which looked within the range of the4508C, but I think the low range is 22khz triggered, which could cause further issues, so, is there not another lnb compatible with a 4508c?
Another user with a 4410md questioned that finding a G1 map could be an issue and I'm having...
