You can also go to LyngSat - Lyngemark Satellite and look for 91 (Nimiq).

Hey Jell, I personally love B3V. It has lots of the same programs as DN but I really like the BBC and a few others. The sports channels have changed this year but otherwise I think it is worth your while if you can get your dish pointed in the right direction and scan everything in. It also has HD channels. Enjoy! 91 and 82

Yeah there is alot of good stuff like hockey. Canada loves hockey.lol

But alot of the programing is the same but like peggy said we do get some good stuff DN does not have.

If your already hitting it just check it out for a while.

I am on 100,119, Is it posible also to point to the Canadian chanels with one dish or I have to get separet system.
Thanks

get 1 more dish

i apreciate all the responses. just got in from work. let me begin by saying that since i motorized i have been checking out thier comedy network. love corner gas, and just for laughs. but my question is this... the dn channel lineup is different (lot more channels) than what you get on an antenna, or cable. on antenna or cable you get like abc--cbs--nbc those are the big three. then depending you may or may not get fox--upn--wb, pbs also is usualy a standard. ive noticed different ctv's and a few others. just wondering what a basic cable package in canada would have on it? thanks for your time and patience.

**lonster** · September 26th, 2008

ctv, cbc, the comedy network, tsn, sportsnet, citytv,Achannel, ctv newsnet, global....

and Im not sure if movie central is on DN or not

**jell691** · September 26th, 2008

thanks lonester, this gives me a little perspective. i will be watching a little "regular" canadian tv, now that i have some reference, just to appreciate the difference, in the 2 markets.
