Hi ,
Do any of guys have the direct tv satellite tv installed. If yes do you still get the indian tv channels, zee, sony etc. we got them all for 2 1/2 months after we took the dish. the guy who installed for us said it has been zapped by direct TV itself. Is that true and we will nt be able to get the indian channels.
tks

First of all, please be aware that installing DirecTV/dishnetwork etc is illegal in Canada. Second, this is a standard practice by satellite channels to keep pirates off their network. You can get rid of the problem only temporarily. Your TV fellow can find a work around and they usually charge something like a 100 bucks to reset the channels. But it will get zapped again, and the whole story will repeat itself.
Better get rid of it and get your channels the legitimate way from your local service providers.
Amen

The Cynic
I wonder, if anybody (especially Immigrants) watches Canadian channels like CTV/CBC/City Pulse/Global ? 
For me, they are like a basic necessity to keep up with what is happening in Ontario / Canadian politics as well as what is happening around the town, and in whole Canada.
But I have seen people with Dish Network, who are content with watching CNN and Fox. But when I see those channels, I feel as if I am hearing the news from other countries, to whom I share no connection.
Hi,
If the Desi Regional channels are available (Telugu, Kannada etc) legally
in Canada, me and many are glad to subscibe. We are not happy using the illegal stuff anyway. I have Rogers cabel. Now additionally trying to have DishNetwork connection to get some desi stuff (Telugu channels), because I do not see any company offering subscription for Telugu channels. But the signals are zapped now and nobody is offering it now.
Can someone tell me why nobody in Canada offers DishnetWork with Regional Desi channels (other than Tamil) for subscription?
Regards,
