Looking for someone who can install/move a sat. dish so I can watch my Canadian channels when I'm down here on vacation. I have it hooked up in Vancouver Canada where I am from with Bell Experssvu. I was told this is possible, just have to align the dish to pull the signal. There was already a dish on the home when I bought it but looks like the angle I need may cause the signal to be blocked by the neighbors house. It may need to be moved higher. Does anyone know of a company that will do this for me? I am in the SW in Mountains Edge. I contacted a few companies, but have yet to hear back from them. Thanks.

Call them up on their Canadian numbers, not 800 numbers, and ask them. I know someone who had it using a discarded Directv dish. He had to do an ethernet connection to his cable modem so you have to get high speed net too, but the provider doesn't matter. Supposedly outside of Florida it works perfect, just you don't get any technician support and can't do any pay per view. But when you call them up they can direct you on how to set the dish up.

Elevation and azimuth angles for Bell ExpressVu are easily found with any number of satellite aiming calculators that you can find with Google. The OP's problem is he doesn't know how to aim a dish, and may have an obstructed view.

Yes...this is my problem. I used the online calculator program to get all the angles but since this is a new retirement home I do not have the ladder or tools to do it myself. So if anyone knows someone who can do this properly please let me know. Thanks.
