Help wanted for a rookie - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Greetings to all you techo wizards,

I currently have 2 HD receivers running off my dish and have a standard receiver not in use but was prior to me installing my 2nd HD receiver. What I'd like to do is get another dish, install it up at the lake and run my standard receiver off it. The receiver has a smart card in it so is this possible to do and if so, how?

Technically all you need is a Dish and LNBF and aim it correctly.

The SD receiver would need to be added to your account.

However, what you are wanting to do is against the Contract you have with Bell TV, so they will not help you in any way.

The correct way to handle a Cottage receiver now with Bell TV is that they must disconnect the ones at home when you go to the cottage and then you have to call them again on your way home to have them disconnect the Cottage and active the ones at home.
