Nagra3 is a big change which will take some time for the coders to resolve. I am currenlty running an Nfusion reciever which has fixed a lot of BEV channels due to the Nagra3 switch over but I am still missing all of the PPV's/Porn & some other channels.
I have another dish pointed to 110/119 Charlie(DishNET) which is 100% functional but the word around town is that they are switching to nagra3 shortly.
Looks like we are in for a bit of downtime but I am very impressed with the Nfusion coders. They are well on top of this and should have everything sorted out shortly. The other thing that I love about the Nfusion when everything is working properly is that it never goes down. I have friends with Viewsats, Sonicviews, Captive Works etc who are always talking about ECM hits and downtime requiring new bins to fix. I just smile at them and say "IKS baby!" |

i gave my vs pro to a friend so im only using my vs ultra and sv-8000 now.
bev is toast. charlie is still up.
here is the word... n3 has been dumped but how far along they are nobody knows.
as for the charlie n3 swap, apparently they are having issues with the dishplayer 7000/7100 and those subscribers will have to be switched to a new IRD which dish says will delay the swap. the projected date for n3 on charlie is around june 2009. |

I used to get about 6 a couple of months ago, so I moved my UFO-like antenna from the site of my house to the top of it on a tripod, and 20ft mast. I also added an Antennas Direct DB-8 to boost the UHF signals.
I had to double-up high-end antennas because Aurora is a 220km drive to Buffalo, and I'm at the most extreme edge. People in Toronto are lucky.
For anyone interested HERE is a list of all digital and HD channels you can pick up in the Toronto area, for FREE and completely legally. |
