TJQ Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Dave Mercers sponsoring a contest to help celebrate his fishing show premier on WFN tomorrow nite at 7pm. This contest is open to OFC'ers ONLY and check out the three prize packs he is offering!! THREE of these so the chances to win are pretty good!! (If you are a lurker... now is a good time to register here!!!) The winners..... all THREE wil get: 1 Fact of Fishing Shirt 1 Full 3 DVD Facts of Fishing DVD set!! and $200 of Dave's favourite lures - hand picked by the great one himself!!! (Dave - not me...) So ... whats the contest???? all ya gotta do is watch the show.... and answer this skill testing question... During the show, how many records does Dave hold?? (Those of you who went to the premier.. have to promise me to keep quiet about this... but you are eligible to enter...) After the show... ill have a form for those who want to enter to fill in.... Dave will pick the winners at random from the correct answers!!! What a great idea... Dave is one show host that pays attention to his fan network. I think we should support him as much as possible!! Dave.. I wish you well and good luck tomorrow nite!! So..... Who's gonna watch??? I know I am... again.. it was hilarious the first time!!!
irishfield Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 WFN 419 disappeared from Bell Xpress view ! At least it did on mine, after they had it free again for awhile.
tonyb Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Is there a "No purchase necessary" option for those of us who do not have WFN? Is the show available on-line? Tony
TJQ Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 The show is not online yet... I dunno what Dave's plans are... I recently signed up for the wfn package... it include the wfn and the fight network.. which if you like the MMA stuff is amazing.. plus a soccer channel.. and some other stuff.. i think it was like 5 bucks a month.. i watch it quite a bit... If Im not mistaken theres alot of places cable included that carry the wfn network...
tonyb Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Yeah I hear ya T.J. Unfortunately it requires an upgrade to digital cable from my local cable company...too bad they don't have it on analogue cable, as it's almost double the price for digital...for just the 1 additional channel.
motv8tr Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I'll be watching again for sure! It's GREAT!!!! Heck I'd watch it again even without the contest The trick will be to try to pay attention while laughing so hard Maureen

bassboy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 WFN 419 disappeared from Bell Xpress view ! At least it did on mine, after they had it free again for awhile. It did on mine too. Before the free preview, I had called distressview to subscribe to WFN and they told me I needed to buy a piece of hardware (that they would refund me for later on. I asked why they couldnt just give it to me and told them that it sounded like a make work project for the accountants )....a switch or something. 419 did not show up before the preview. Then the free preview comes around and all of a sudden I can get WFN without having a switch. Now that its gone (the free preview) I dont have 419 any more ( whereas other subscription channels I dont have DO show up in the listing when I use the show all channels format). This leads me to believe that I STILL need to buy the switch, even though they can give it to me free for the preview without the switch :dunno: It makes no sense to me but I am not going to go through the aggro so I can give them extra money per month.....I dont get it.... So I guess I wont be seeing it....and second the "no purchase nessecary" option Bill
irishfield Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 I had the free preview last fall/winter...then when it went subscription only, all summer, it was still there in the menu in Red. Then it went free again for the last month or more (thought maybe they where looking for more subscribers to cover their costs) and when I went to watch it the other day 419 was gone.
motv8tr Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 It did on mine too.

So I guess I wont be seeing it....and second the "no purchase nessecary" option Bill They told me the same thing Bill, I said thanks but no thanks....a few months later, surprise surprise, it became available without me needing any additional equipment, funny how that happens. I'd call again and ask for an explanation as to how they can add it one day but not the next. Maureen
Gerritt Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 anyone have slingboxand could stream it to those that don't get the channel Those Slingboxes are amazing! we have one setup at work G
Gerritt Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 the more channels they broadcast from Nimiq 91 the more channels they are trying to cram into a limited amount of bandwidth/transponders.. so their response?? decrease the overall bit ratio to all channels.. there by degrading picture quality.. if they put "premium channels" and HD on 82 it opens up that available bandwidth there for increasing picture quality and an overall viewing experience for everyone.. PS... you can pick up a switch at any local FTA dealer for less the 20 bucks. Gerritt.
irishfield Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Switch = forgot I already had a double feed.
Dave Mercer Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Hi Guys, Thanks for all your support. I hope you like THE SHOW . As far as I know you do not need a switch now but you did at the start. All you do is just call Bell and they will hook you up. I look forward to all your feedback. Dave Mercer
bpsbassman Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 I'm getting all tingly waiting for the show!!!!
Tarzan's Jane Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 I'm not set up to watch the show...I guess I'll just have to take a wild guess. ppsssttt anyone want to give me an early Christmas gift and let me in on the answer....just kidding...well maybe not...yes I am...
The Urban Fisherman Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Hey TJ - I'm going to go ahead and assume that I can't get in on this contest? haha Hope you enjoy the show guys! Cheers, Ryan
