I said nothing about purchasing the satellite systems of course you can buy them in Both countries. Directv is NOT sold in Canada. Shaw is NOT sold in the States. I said that as long as we could SEE the birds in Canada or anywhere we can get the signal. The farther North the harder it will be, I gave the example of the elevation setting of Nome Alaska being 2.1 degrees. That is kind of close to the ground and more likely to hit a obstruction. Right now it is not a issue with directv and their foot print is not restricted except for the ability to see the birds. IMO it is but another RV related issue. The vast majority of Shaw nd Direct users have their systems firmly attached to a S&B . The sat companies are not RV oriented .

I see no reason for Canadian sat companies to restrict the signal other than monetary issues. The problem is not with the dish but with the Sat companies restricting the signal...Right.??? or is that wrong... Maybe I do not understand the problem.
