Star Choice/Expressvu

[Don Barber]

Hi,
I know this was well discussed last winter, but I would like to get an update on the status of Star Choice/Bell Expressvu Sat reception in the Ca, Az area in the US south. We are also planning a possible trip over to Fl. thru Tx, Al etc. Last year we found that we only got even transponders on Bell and if memory serves me correctly the people with Star Choice had full use of their systems. If I find this to be true I will then either subscribe to Star Choice for 6 months and put my Bell system on holiday mode and then reverse that in the spring when I return home. If I didn't have a large investment in Bell receivers I would probably change over to Star Choice altogether. Plus Bell does have more HD channels. Does anyone have any current Info? Thanks for any help or comments

We've used our X-Press Vu as far West as San Diego through New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, ect. Never had a problem getting signal. Don't know about Star Choice as we have never used them.
