As far as CBC goes, I think Bell compresses their signal too much. Saturday had a great picture but I seem to be back to the same old crap picture tonight. It looked more like an upconverted picture than true HD.
If you want to better your signal, you'll have to go out and tweak your dish. Tune in CBC and go to your signal strength screen again. Hopefully you'll be able to see your TV from your dish. If not you'll have to yell at your wife and vice versu or use a phone. You'll have to loosen off a couple of bolts and move your dish very slightly. I'd try it up and down first. Tighten it down and if not satisfied, than adjust left and right. I wouldn't adjust the skew. I'd suggest putting a mark where the dish is set now in case you screw up. I screw up regularly and I've been putting off adjusting my dishes for a while since the last storm because it can be frustrating. That's right dishes because to get a decent signal where I live I use a 24" [for the SD sat. 91]and a 30" for the HD sat. 82]. Well that's how I set them up on a warm summer's day but after the last storm, with my help, each one is pointing at the wrong satellite like a crosseyed kid but I get a half decent signal so sue me.
So that would be your next step, buy a bigger dish for you HD [82] satellite. I found my 24'' in a pawnshop for $25. I bought my 30'' for $50 from a friend but stores do carry them, just make sure they're compatible with Bell.
Probably too much information, but you get the picture.
