I too see fluctuations in signal strength here in Tennessee with night being the weakest, but I am not too sure it would be wobble. Several thoughts (note I am using a 1.2 meter Fortec to consistently pull in 82W and am still vulnerable to rain fade) 1) If it was genuine wobble (satellite...

I am in Nashville which is as far south as Charlotte and pull in 82W with a 1.2 Fortec. I tried smaller dishes ranging from 80 cms to 100 cms but not all transponders came through on a consistent basis. As I am further west than Charlotte I cannot guarantee that a 1.2 m would work for you A...

It sounds like you are account sharing which is basically stealing.

We get some pretty strong storms here in Nashville and I invariably lose signal for a few minutes. I was forced to go to a 1.2 m Fortec for 82W and use the standard 20 inch for 91W. I get around 95% quality on 91W but did try a 1 meter last year as an experiment and still lost signal during...

I have a Slingbox Pro HD which I use to watch TV on my laptop. A few things you will need to consider. 1) You will need to find someone with a Bell HD Receiver that it can hook up to. Note: you in effect take over that receiver so it almost needs to be one that is not used frequently...

Iceberg is 100% correct. I am in Nashville, TN and I pull in 82W with a 39 inch dish. I tried a 36 inch but that did not pull in all the transponders. I would consider myself to be on the southernmost fringe of reception. Even a 6 foot would likely not pull the signal in at your location as you...

The 4100 is standard receiver and does not handle HD. I also doubt it would pull in any channels from 82.

You mention you wish to update your receiver which implies you have not done so yet. That raises the question which receiver are you using to find a signal with 82W? If it is an old non 8PSK equipped receiver you will not be able to get a lock on most of the transponders on 82 so it may look as...

I believe you 100% and it still amazes me a little that we see a company who actually spend quite a lot of time and effort (and money) to find ways to reduce their revenue stream. I know Bell cannot knowingly sell service in the US, but a witch-hunt makes no sense at all.

Another major reason for ANI delivery is for 911 calls. The information is ties to a database which brings up all the home information for the call center as soon as the call is answered. For ISP coverage you can always route through a Canadian Proxy server. I use that all the time to access...

If you plan to use a 36 inch dish I see no problem for you in NJ. I am in Nashville, TN and tried a 36 inch and found I could pull all TP's in during the day but lost a few at night. With a 1.2 m Fortec I can now keep all TP's 24/7 on 82W. As Nashville is a good 300 miles south of you, I...

There is one other difference here in the US. We are only allowed to receive our local NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, PBS Channels. In Canada, nobody has an issue with the fact that via satellite you can watch CBC, CTV from any region you want. I also expect the PBS stations would scream out if we...

I have sent you a personal message.

I pull in Bell on the 91 with just a small 18 inch dish with no problems. As for 82W which carries the HD content I have been forced to move to a 120 cm dish. I did have a 76 cm which became marginal once Bell moved to 8PSK modulation. I then tried a 100 cm which worked better but I still lost...

I doubt that it is atmospheric as I find some transponders are affected while others are very stable. I find that TP 01, 05, 09, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29 and TP 04, 08, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 all don't vary much (Note the groupings of 4) whereas all the others can change by around 6-8 points on my...
