Shaw satellite
Shaw satellite operates in Canada. They had 2 satellites and have recently launched a third one. I have a dish and receiver which was compatible with the 2 satellites, but is not with the new one. ...

We're back in Tucson AZ for the winter. Went home to Ontario for Christmas. Picked up Shaw receiver/PVR. Was working fine at home. Brought it back to Tucson in suitcase. Now having troubles tuning the Satellite Dish for Shaw Direct in the trailer. Worked OK last year.
This is what it says on the screen:
A. Unit Id-----------------whole bunch of numbers which I guess identifies my unit
B. Auth. Status (Tuner 1)---------REFRESH REQUIRED(MP)
C. Signal Level (Tuner 1)---------(396):29, EcbNo:-0.7dB
D. Auth. Status (Tuner 2)---------Unavailable
E. Signal Level (Tuner 2)--------(0):0,EcbNo:-10.0 dB
F: Map Status---------------------Exists, 579-4320
G. Trip Count----------------------0
H. Current Firmware Version--------42.47
Down here in AZ, I have the large elliptical dish, about 5 years old.
Receiver model has "DSR630" on the back. I presume this is the model number.
I have the satellite dish set at 178 degrees magnetic, about 60 degree altitude, 0 skew. This dish worked OK last 5 years.
If I press the A button on the remote, T1 shows up as a flashing red/yellow/green line (more red than anything else), T2 is very sensitive. If I'm lucky, I can get it to flash red occasionally.
From this I assume that I should be able to get a signal down here. However, is it possible one of the dish heads has gone bad ? Or something has changed from last year ?
Anyone help ?!! PLEASE. Thanks
