Is it factory or dealer installed?.Do you have the brand name.

Larry the simple answer is no. Starchoice uses a totally different LNB, circular versus linear on Direct/Dish/Bell
Also the dish need to be skewable.
There are however 2 automatic systems on the market that are designed exclusivly for Starchoice. We are using the MotoSat MSC60 for Starchoice.

Thanks Matt,little beyond me.Is star choice Canada only?

[larry penner]

that is kind of what i thought on the rig we traded we had a movinveiw and it to only worked with direct,bell etc so we still have the direct recever active we will try this for a while and see if we like it befor we upgrade to an auto system.
thanks for the reply.

Frankie, you need to have a Canadian address in order to subscribe to the Starchoice service.
It is popular with the folks who travel down to Mexico since you can receive a good signal there also. Many subscribe through a broker since they don't have a Canadian address.
