You mean your friend gave you a Dish Network receiver, but the receiver asking the Express Vu satellite location ??

What Charlie did for his receiver ?? Or he think he is controlling the Canadian satellite as well.

your friend probably downloaded the ExpressVu software, when the receiver is suppose to have Dish Network software on it

Hope you didnt spend too much for the doorstop

OK Check the card inside. Is it a Dish or Bell Expressvu card? If it is a Dish card, then the receiver does have Bell software on it. It happens when the receivers have factory software and are pointed to Bell Expressvu's satellite.
If you want to sell it, you might be able to get something for it on Ebay; just say that it has EV software.
If you are a current Dish subscriber, you do have options.
If you have credit card autopay, they will ship equipment for free. If not, shipping is 14.99, I think. You can add the reciever to yuor account. Tell then that you were pointing your dish and accidentally got in on EV, then the receiver turned to EV. They will ask you to pay $50 for an exchange for a remanufactured receiver.
