New to Starchoce/Shaw Direct.
Always had Bell and prior to that FTA but now that is gone the way of the dinosaur.
First is everything compatible between old and new company(StarChoice/Shaw)?
First setup at home done professionally. Second setup will be at cabin. I have the new HD Sat Receiver but I went and bought a used Starchoice Dish.
Hooked everything up and am not getting more than 12 on the signal scale and it does go up to 13. Could my problem be that the dish I have is not compatible with my HD receiver? Is there anything different when setting these dishes up compared to setting up Bell? Everything worked good at home base with the receiver when I set it up there.
The dish is different than the new Shaw dishes. This dish has two cans protruding from the arm at opposite angles. Sort of like this. (>
Could this be the reason why my signal is not increasing?
I also read somewhere about linear dishes are a problem with new equipment. How do I know if this is why I'm not receiving any signal?
Sorry for all the questions but I need my TV, Dammit. )
Thanks for all your help.
