    Nimiq 91 is alive in NC!

    Re Nimig 91 alive in NC! I live in south jersey and I got a 6ft dish last fall and got a bell signal a little stronger then your getting. I noticed that I lost some of my S and Q in the summer months but now it seems to be getting better and a few of the tps are getting stronger. I am just...

    Is there a chance that a 120cm dish will get me 91 back?

    Re-Is there a chance that a 120cm dish will get 91 back? I live about 100 miles south of NYC in south jersey. With a 6ft dish I got 91 back but with a weak signal its about 61% on a clear day and on a cloudy day it goes down around 47% and some TPs are weaker. But I found out with a 4ft dish I...

    Re-Is there a chance that a 120cm dish will get 91 back? I dont think you will get a good singnal. I live 100 miles south of NYC near Atlantic City and with a 120cm I could pickup a very weak signal about 56 Q on a clear day. On a cloudy day forget it. I think you would be wasting your time...

    91W NIMIQ 6 completely active now....footprint changed

    I live 100 miles south of NYC, 39 lat 75 long with oval dish no trace of 91. I tried a bigger dish and was able to pick 91 up but with a weak signal. I found a used 1.8 dish and set it up and now I am able to pick up 91 with a decent S 84 Q 87 on most channels. The only problem I have is...

    Can a C band mesh dish be converted to a fta dish?

    Just wondering if the signal would be better with the bigger older dish for a weak signal. If I am trying to pick up a satellite and I am on a fringe area of picking it up would the signal be greater the bigger the dish? Or better with a bigger fta dish, just trying to compare. Thanks for the...

    Can a C band mesh dish be converted to a fta dish?

    Can a older C band mesh dish be converted to a ku band dish? If you change the C band lnb to a fta lnb with a bracket will it pickup ku satellites like 119 and 110? Someones answers will be helpful. I have a older C band mesh dish and was thinking of fooling around with it to see if it...
