    Frustrated

    Replaced the cable. I have a new cable going directly from one LNB on the dish pointed to 91. No switches. Still get the same issue. I do not have dual LNB's.

    Frustrated

    Here is the issue I am having. I have BEV service that I am receiving in Michigan, well within the footprint of both the 91 and 82 satellites. I have had the service for around 10 years and never had issues with signal strength or transponders cutting in and out. About 6 months ago the signal...

    Dish 500 Satellite vs. Dish 1000 Satellite Dish

    I have a dish 500 24" inch dish. If I upgrade to the 1000 turbo eliptical dish, can anyone tell me if I can just swap out the dish or do I need to install a new LNB bracket etc.? I am having trouble with the HD station transponders fading in and out and want the easiest possible solution...

    Nimiq 82

    So if I use a dish like Winegard-DS-2077-30-Dish-Network-Satellite-Dish I may be able to get 82? Can I use the LNB from my 500 with this 30" dish? Just not the same without my HD channels. Thanks, DR

    Nimiq 82

    Location I'm in between Harrisburg and Philadelphia, PA. So that explains the issues I am having with transponders 7 and 11? Would an eliptical dish help? What about the problem with the 82 transponders taking so long to register a signal? Thanks for all the responses :)

    Nimiq 82

    Need some advice. I just moved so I am in the process of setting up my BEV dish. I bought a new dish/lnb (dish network 500 with the new lnb with the port 1, port 2 and lnb input configuration). I got the dish set up and tuned for the 91 bird and get great signals on all transponders. I...

    Lost my signal to Nimiq 82 - Getting out the chainsaw!

    Just an update. Put up a second satellite (had it laying around the house), moved it to an unobstructed view and got the 82 signal. Hooked it into the switch on the first satellite and I'm good to go. Thanks for the help Iceberg - glad I found the site.

    Lost my signal to Nimiq 82 - Getting out the chainsaw!

    Is there somewhere I can find out which transponders correspond to each satellite?

    Lost my signal to Nimiq 82 - Getting out the chainsaw!

    Sorry to beat the horse again but where on the horizon is the 82 signal is relation to the 91 signal or the Nimiq 3 signal? Up/Down East or West? That would help me determine if the tree is actually in the way. Thanks again. Dan

    Lost my signal to Nimiq 82 - Getting out the chainsaw!

    I have two lnb's with two sw21's. I tried swapping the lnb's with no luck. So what you are saying is that I could be blocked from the 82 signal while still getting 100% on 91? Should I try direct connecting to 82 and moving my dish around to make sure? Do they make mast extensions to raise...

    Lost my signal to Nimiq 82 - Getting out the chainsaw!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated before I take a chainsaw to my wife's favorite tree. I have been a BEV customer for 3 years and live in Michigan about the same parallel as Sarnia. I upgraded to the 6100 last October (when the leaves were still on the trees - I think). I received decent...
