Dish Network in Prince Edward Island Canada

[mjschuyler]

I have a Bell Express Vu receiver that I use in Connecticut. I recently purchased a cottage on the north shore of Prince Edward Island (PEI) Canada. I have a Bell Express Vu system (VUE) and Dish Network receivers. When I went to PEI in July I took one of each of my receivers and a Dish 500. I was able to get VUE to work but I could not get a signal on the E* receiver. It may have been due to the low look-angle that trees were blocking the dish. I could not move the Dish because i did not have enough RG6 cable with me.

My question is has anyone been successful in getting E* in PEI? What size Dish did they have to use?

Thank you
Murray

Accordint to this picture below, you might be outside of the normal dish size area.
I know people have used a 30" (76cm) for EVu in that area

When I was there last summer around NHL Draft time, it seemed like most every home had a larger sized dish then the standard Dish Network or DirecTV ones common here in the states.
