    I keep my remote handy and just mute them. I mute all commercials when I bother to watch TV. The commercials have pretty much stopped my TV viewing. But congress has also passed a bill to limit...

    2 dishes?

    Sniff sniff... Where was that link when I bought my dishes!

    I paid $200 CND for a Dish500 with the twin (instead of the $59 on that site).

    How to improve 82?

    If you order a DirectTV dish, you need to buy the LNB's. The DTV uses a square mount (instead of the Dish Network 1/2 moon mount). You can put DTV LNB's on a Dish arm, but not the other way around.

    2 dishes?

    My 4700 came with a 24" dish, and I've had it for a long time. When the Bell guy came to install my Dish500 upgrade, he was drooling over it (he was hoping I'd be dumb and say -- sure take it away,...

    After my call to them about my extra $210 of install charges, they assured me it would be taken care of in a week. Instead of fixing it, they called this morning telling me my account is 55 days in...

    Ok, so after I posted a complaint with the CRTC, and copy/pasted it to a complaint to Bell's abuse department, this is what happened:

    1) Bell responded saying sorry, they'll fix it, but it will...

    Well,

    I got a message back from Bell customer service appologizing for the problems, and he put in a request to have the $210+$25+interest credited. He did warn it could take 4-6 weeks though. ...
  8. ExpressVu 9242 HD PVR Discussion thread for Owners Only!

    Anyone having issues with the sound stopping on the 9242? I had it hooked up with HDMI at first and now with component / RCA for audio. In both cases, TV1 will sometimes drop audio until I reset...
  9. Email sent to CTV/CRTC concerning that pathetic CTV logo with simsubs on BEV

    I was watching CSI last night, and that pretty logo kept showing up.

    Oddly enough, it's displayed through the first couple of minutes of the opening show (before the intro rolls), and then after...
  10. Email sent to CTV/CRTC concerning that pathetic CTV logo with simsubs on BEV

    I noticed that again last night. I thank Global or turning up the contast on their logo too. Nice and bright and white. If I watch enough Global shows, I should be able to get a perpetual global...

    Problem with that theory is that after a month of no pay, their computer system will start calling you telling you your bill is unpaid, and then it automatically de-subs all your receivers. Then...

    I've got the same thing going on. The guy comes to install my 9200, and I got tired of waiting for him to show up (missed the appointment 2 times due to lack of product), so I...

    How to improve 82?

    You need to find a Direct-TV, or Dish version (there are a ton of non-branded ones out there).

    The StarChoice ones use a different LNB mount, and it'll be near impossible to get the Dish LNB on...

    I totally agree with you. So, it all comes back to my closing statement to Bell and the CRTC "And you wonder why people steal your service?" Why would anyway "RISK" paying for it. You're...

    Not that I did it :cool:, but you can swap the drive from your 9200 into your 9242 to watch your old recordings, as well as maintain the timers. You do sacrifice some drive space though (9242 =...
  19. Email sent to CTV/CRTC concerning that pathetic CTV logo with simsubs on BEV

    I agree with you. What's even more annoying is Global. You get their logo in the top right hand corner, and the network in the bottom right. I find the top right really distracting.

    Whatever you do, don't tell them that it's at your cabin. When Bell first started, you could have a remote unit.

    Your post makes the assumption that BEV has software engineers that write the firmware for their receivers (I have no idea if they do). If I was to guess, Echostar (I think they make the 92xx...
