  1. From what I understamd they will mo longer give you a replacement modem at the Telmex office. You have to put in a service call by calling the number for service indicated on your bill then if they verify a problem they will send you a replacement.
  2. I have switched to Kiwisat. Getting about 168 channels, mas o mano.
  3. Yes it is dying. The satellite that Shaw service for this area of Mexico is coming from (Anik F2) is falling out of orbit and will eventually burn up as it falls back to earth. In preparation for this, Shaw has been moving channels over to a different satellite (Anik G1) which does not have a radiation pattern this far south so we will no longer get any Shaw service. It is time to find an alternative (Kiwisat or live streaming through the internet).
  4. It has been my experience that OHIP will not cover any cost of medical expenses incurred while outside of Canada. That is why you need to have a third party travel insurance plan from a carrier such as CAA when travelling to Mexico.
  5. The Kiwisat receivers have a USB 3.0 port on the rear panel. Simply plug in an "off-the-shelf" USB memory stick, an SSD drive or a conventional hard disk drive - format to the FAT32 file system and the rest is all in the Kiwisat receiver's menus. Easier to manage than trying to record live internet streaming video (I gave uo on attempting that).
  6. I have not had any luck finding mineral spirits here. The locals just use gasoline!!!
  7. I guess I must be one of the stupid ones. My Kiwisat setup is working great - signal strength of 99% using an old Dish USA dish. I also have the record/playback feture working so all set for the upcoming F1 season!!
  8. How to Record Programs with the Kiwisat Receiver. The current receiver that Kiwisat is shipping is the "MICO-P6Plus". These instructions are for that one. I finally have this working. I could find no information anywhere on how to do this so I had to "play" for awhile and finally have it figured out. Here are the things I learned. Any type of USB compatible memory stick or portable hard disk drive will work - USB 3.0 interface is standard. Most of the Windows 10/11 compatible external portable hard disk drives you buy won't work out of the box and need to be reformatted to the older and more universally used "FAT32" file system. Windows 10 will only allow you to format to either the NTFS or exFAT (extended FAT) file systems. The Kiwisat receivers won't work with either. I had to use my PC with a 3rd party formatter to get the drive reformatted. Big capacity hard drives will work. The Toshiba 2TB portable USB disk drive I just bought came pre-formatted to the NTFS file system. The receiver recognized it and indicated I could store 99 hours of HD programming - but I couldn't record to it. I tried reformatting to the exFAT file system, but the receiver would not even see it. Once I reformatted it to FAT32, it worked right away. Recording Procedure The receiver only has one tuner so you can only record from one channel at a time. You can start recording what you are watching live at any time by pressing the button that has a red circle (beside the SAT button). When you have a compatible storage device attached, you can see the program listings for 7 days in the future when using the EPG button. You can record a future program by going to the channel that carries the program, hit the EPG button, toggle to the day (on the left of the screen), the program (on the right of the screen) and press F! (the red coloured key). To watch a program that you have already recorded, go to the Media menu and toggle down to PVR player and you will see a list of your recordings. Select the one you want to playback and hit the OK key. To delete a recording, go to the PVR menu, select the program and follow the on screen instructions.

  10. Nope, he did not move. Still at the same place.
  11. The only piece of Shaw equipment that would be worth anything back in Canada is if ou have an 800 series receiver. These can still be activated on an account up there. Everything else is now e-waste.
  12. The Shaw dish will work fine to receive Kiwisat, just needs to be repointed toward the satellite that Kiwisat uses (SES-10 at 67W degrees). Ajijic Electronics can set you up once you sign up with Kiwisat in Miami and get the receiver you need down here.
  13. There are a couple of authorized Makita Service Centers in Guadalajara.
  14. If you look at a Walmart receipt for instance, the line item is displayed including the IVA but their is a letter beside the price (A) to indicated it is taxable.
