thanks Installer - till now I have not heard if the new LNB still gets the channels we have gotten in the past with the original 2 satellites. I was ready to start up a new account with some old 317 receivers and an old LNB to make sure I will get the Olympics, CFL, Hockey Night in Canada and all the Curling. I would like to get the Winnipeg Jets channel as I had last year but I hear all Hockey will be on the new G1. Do you know anything about that? I do have Direct also and may just buy the NHL Center Ice package - at least I will get a few "local" games!!
