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

    Reporting from Salt Lake City: Once Bell changed N4 I was SOL until I moved to a 30X33 dish for 82 alone, and a regular 20 for 91. Now that Nimiq 6 is up (I spent the summer away from TV and didnt notice til now) 91 is completely extinct for me, but conversely my N4 levels have gone up...

    Nimiq 4 strength

    Nimiq 4 Confirmed Reception Just thought I'd add that using a 33 X 30 inch dish for nimiq 4 (82w) and a separate standard Bell dish for nimiq 1 (91) I am able to receive everything on my sub (including much HD) in Salt Lake City, utah :) Hockey coverage as it should be!!!!!!!

    MULTI-SATELLITE SIGNAL ACQUISITION

    This is great info guys, thanks for taking the time so quickly, I am very curious about the arm modification procedure (must be the Red Green show in me). Is there a formula for calculating Dish size\Lnb arm length\lnb position below dead center\distance of lnb from dish surface. I also have...

    MULTI-SATELLITE SIGNAL ACQUISITION

    So you are saying, give up on the idea of getting them both on one dish, focus on the big dish for Nimiq 4... then use an additional standard dish for 91 ? makes sense I guess... just a buttload of hardware for two sats. Of course watching HD Hockey night in canada during the playoffs would be...

    MULTI-SATELLITE SIGNAL ACQUISITION

    MULTI-SATELLITE SIGNAL ACQUISITION

    OK... I have a dish 33X30 paired with 2XDual LNB on a Y yoke. Trying to acquire 82 (nimiq 4) + 91 (Nimiq 1,3) I seem to do OK with elevation and skew because I can find a happy medium whereby if I rotate the dish I can get OK signal on either one. The problem is that I do have to rotate it...

    Nimiq 4 strength

    Nimiq 4 additional results OK.... Shortened the cable run dramatically, down to about 15' now. Using 22khz switch instead of disecq.. "found" about 25 more channels, better signal strength and quality, still havent messed with the pointing to get 91 into the mix. Try that next. DONT want to...

    Nimiq 4 strength

    Nimiq 4 Ok... In northern utah, using 33x30 inch dish with 2x dpp lnb. I cant get both satellites in with satisfactory signal and quality. Have been able to pull in Nimiq 4 (82 w.) at about 75% with a quality of about 40 - 50%, can "see" about 90 channels of various types. Considerations and...
