I just noticed, that it says I'm in or near Seattle. Well not all of the time. When the sun's out, I'm on Vancouver Island when I am up North, and when its cold out, I'm along the shores of Lake Chapala, Mexico, just south of Guadalajara Mexico, where I've had the ability to pick up then Star...

UPdate. All signals from Anik F-2 are working again. :)

I too have lost signals from Anik F-2 which carries most if not all the HD channels so have others in my part of Mexico. Gosh I sure hate watching everything in SD. I'm a snowbird and have been able to watch Star Choice now Shaw Direct when out of Canada since Feb 21, 2001 when then Anik F-1...

Sadly I will not be experimenting with my 12 foot Ku prime focus dish until some time in the new year. Once I do, I willl share the info with you here south of Guadalajara along the shores of Lake Chapala

Pamela: I'm about to try an experiment. Right now all I have is a 4 footer a 1.8 meter (5.9 ft) and a 2.4 meter (7.9 ft) offset Ku band dishes, here along the shore of Lake Chapala just south of Guadalajara. I also have a 12 foot prime focus mesh dish where the mesh is so tight that you can't...

Hi Pamela; Good to see your name here. I'm back in Ajijic enjoying the rain. Right now, I'm watching Shaw Direct. Once things settle down with Echo* 15 maybe I will play around again. Right now I'm getting a few channels on 110 and I still need to better position the LNB (It's too far away from...

El Ruco It's street slang meaning old and warn out. And it's often used by the much younger generation to make fun of those who are what? over 50? Where I sometimes live along the shores of Lake Chapala, the vast majority of the Americans do not speak Spanish. Therefore DISH is terribly...

Pero Yo soy un "RUCO'. Por eso, no puedo aprender Esp. buey :) Remember if English is needed, you still have digital C band and of course Shaw Direct which carries my Seattle stations in HD and one can pick up all the transponders quite well in cental Mexico on a dish that is only 36.5 by 26.5...

This is not what you are going to want to hear, but I only have one receiver, which I take with me when I head to Mexico. That way they can not accuse me of stacking. Mechanicman stated that DISH can check your IP # when you are phoning. Please tell me how that's done. It's real easy for the...

Thanks Alan for your many posts both here and on the non techie forum, MexConnect. I will be returning to the shores of Lake Chapala (south of Guadalajara) from Seattle in two weeks. I look forward to repositioning my 1.2, 1.8, and 2.4 meter offset dishes and playing around with 110, 119, and...

It is a violation of US regulations for A US provider to sell signals to persons living in Mexico. But is it illegal to pick up signals from a foreign country when you live in Mexico? After all you are in Mexico and controlled by Mexican law. I don't think so. In Chapala-Ajijic just south of...

Although right now I'm splitting my time between Seattle and Vancouver Island, I also own property along the shores of Lake Chapala. We are a suburb of Guadalajara and about 260 miles West-West North West of Mexico City. Apparently the sat dealers are getting all of the Conus beams with a 1.8...

I sure hope you're right, but in comparison to their competition, you know SKy Mexico and the local cable companies like Megacable and Telecable, they offer very little; perhaps 1/3rd the number of channels. Their basic package offers, what, 36 channels. And how many channels do they offer...

When in Mexico, I live in the greater Guadalajara area, along the shores of Lake Chapala and regularly write a column called Tech Talk for an English language newspaper down there. At a recent public meeting with representatives of the US Consulate, we were told that there are approximately...

They are very different. On E14. they're better focused on the US with much less bleed-over to my part of Mexico and other parts of countries outside of the US Sadly that makes sense. If you need a certain amount of signal strength over all of the US and less bleedover into other countries...

I'm quietly watching with my fingers crossed. Here in Seattle no problem. But when it's starts to rain, something it does here an awful lot, I head south, with my one HD receiver in my backpack (you know carry on luggage) and fly to Guadalajara Mx. Right now down there, I would get 129 with a...

Conus beam in Mexico And the CONUS E7 beams bleed all over much of Mexico (I slit my time between Seattle and Central Mexico, and pay for my DISH programming) And darn it sadly the new E14 will have a much tighter Conus beam that may not reach Guadalajara. At least one can get the HD...

I first installed my original C band antenna with a hand crank to move it from satellite to satellite back in the winter of 1980-1 in Seattle. Yes I remember on Jan 15th 1986 when HBO began scrambling. Today in Seattle, all I have is Comcast and a couple of Ku band dishes that I point at...

In my case I'm glad they have delayed the launch of E 14. I head south from Seattle every winter with my 211 HD receiver and we already lost signals in Guadalajara, Mexico when the new bird went up at 110 W and the projected footprints look just as bad in our part of Mexico for the new bird at...

Do any of you live in Central Mexico. If so what size dish do yo need to get the conus beems from Ceil 2 I'm an ex C-Bander from way back who is retired and I spend the winter months in Central Mexico. I subscribe to DISH near Seattle, WA and have one 211 HD receiver, that I take with me...

But, I ask, if in fact you live in the US and travel to Canada or Mexico for short periods of time, is it really illegal to take your equipment with you and set it up as you go? There are approximately 100,000 US citizens living or visiting for the cold months in or near the great state of...

My name is Pete, and I haven't posted here in years. I'm retired and leave Seattle each winter bringing my DISH receiver with me. The programs I subscribe to are on 110 and 119 W. As many of you know the new Echo Star 11 bird at 110 West focuses it's footprint more on the US and there is less...

Apparently S F and Atlanta are staying as conus feeds and are available via an independent agency, (with DISH's blessings) therefore not being in violation of the court order, ordering DISH to stop selling distant signals I jus went there (www.callnps.com), clicked on the link that said...

There are many of us snowbirds who bring one of our DISH receivers with us as we head south for the winter in our RVs. No we are not cheating. The other receivers remain off until we return home.Well about the time you hit Guadalajara Mexico. That single DISH 500 antenna has turned into a 1.4...

I hope it is OK to post this here. I have DISH and I like it, but it doesn't give me my Seattle channels in HD. There is a small dish system that does, It also gives me the Detroit 5 in HD. It doesn't matter whether I am in Central America or anywhere in North America I get these HD feeds...
