i guess my question was worded too general. what i'm really asking is whether u.s. law specifically prohibits gray market subscribing to canuck dbs.

Yes.. they are not licensed by FCC and are not allowed to broadcast into the US.. but the problem is that DTV or Echo don't care about the tiny wieni market they have nor does the US Government...but ExpressPuke and Star---- love it and people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

BTW.. Star---- signal reaches parts of Hawaii and ExpressPuke signal is stronger in Florida than it is in BC.

Yes, starchoice and bell will work in the US. I know many people who take their systems with them on vacation to the US.
