Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 1944 Registered: Sep-06 | Star Choice is the same as 4DTV is here in the USA. c/p The system requires an elliptical antenna of at least 45x60cm in size with a special LNB pair built as one unit to accommodate the narrow 3.8° spacing between satellites; the receiver uses the Motorola-proprietary Digicipher II system which has so far been virtually free of the problems with pirate decryption that have plagued other providers such as rival Bell ExpressVu. The standard 18" DBS antennas used by other providers are not compatible with this system as the signals differ in both frequency and polarization, due to Star Choice being relayed via FSS satellites, Anik F1 and F2 in this case. You would have to have a c-band antenna to receive the signal then a receiver. A FTA receiver can not receive anything from that system.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Choice |

Silver Member Username: DoreenakadjPost Number: 833 Registered: Dec-06 | Also it works WHEN you pay for what you watch. It's like trying to break into a bank YOU CAN'T hack into it. They are the smart ones, but you watch, Bev WILL be doing the same thing soon. And maybe DN will fallow. DTV has made it Harder to hack.. so DN will do it too someday. FTA will be no more. Heck they are even making it hard for the antenna (bunny ears) users. They put up microwave towers to scramble signals. What up with that BS? |

Silver Member Username: Leafs_wingpPost Number: 145 Registered: Sep-07 | FTA will always be around. 110 and 119 have the FTA channels. You won't be able to hack BEV or DN sometime soon, by then most people will be watching their shows online anyway. |

Silver Member Username: DoreenakadjPost Number: 836 Registered: Dec-06 | Yukon I PAID for starchoice a few years back and you miss one payment they cut you off. THEN after you cancel your subcription and pay any and all owing bills to them... THEY KEEP SENDING YOU BILLS!!!!! Threatening to take you court if you don't pay. For the past 7 years and wont stop. WTF... Since then I have been doing FTA I wonder why? I agree they offer nothing to watch. |

Bronze Member Username: Jack_meoffPost Number: 72 Registered: Nov-07 | THE FTA TESTER: You would have to have a c-band antenna to receive the signal then a receiver. Star Choice is on ku. Hits in the US is on ku, also. However, the majority of the programming for the US is on c-band. |
