    Nimiq 4 strength

    South out Overall, something has changed as I can confirm that Dallas TX as of 10/10/2008 is still not receiving anything from 82 since the changes on the 7th. Dish size is 31" and lowest used to be 50's. At one point, I saw tp 3, but after running check switch I receive no signal even...

    LOS expert's statement needed for HOA dispute.

    HOA I had faced a similar problem in the past, but Satellite Home Viewers Improvement Act should cover you. There is some debate whether they can restrict the location of the dish, but they CAN NOT prohibit the install of anything below 1 M. One resource that you might want to contact is...

    Anyone in Austin, TX area help me with 82W (Nimiq2) & 91W (Nimiq1)

    Yes, they are separate dishes for each bird. I had experimented with a globecast dish to get both as it has a skew adjustment, but I never liked the results. The 24" dish an old voom dish using the same LNB. The 31" dish from Fortec with a DTV LNB. Yes, I was referring to the beams on...

    Anyone in Austin, TX area help me with 82W (Nimiq2) & 91W (Nimiq1)

    Dallas TPs Sorry Guys for the delay. I get over 70's on both though I have noticed there is some fluctuation with the 24" dish. These are stronger TP's for the bird, but I noticed Vu has been changing TP's again and when they move any channel onto the older bird, we in the Southern...

    Anyone in Austin, TX area help me with 82W (Nimiq2) & 91W (Nimiq1)

    24" dish Dallas On the weaker TPs on Nimiq 2 in Dallas, I was getting close to 50% with a 24" and most were in the 60s and 70s. I switched over to a 31" and it bumped the signal levels by about 10% so for your location, I would recommend a 31" to decrease rain fade. As for Nimiq 1, I...

    Just to confirm that the beams do not hit the US. The best option for Brazil feeds is Nahuel.

    Star choice troubles in Dallas

    Dallasite Steve, I am located in Frisco which is probably fairly close to you, but have ExpressVU instead of SC. However, because SC operates in the linear KU band, I would STRONGLY recommend that you upgrade to a 31" as it should solve your signal loss problems. I had to switch over to...

    Desperate for help aiming at 129

    Frisco and 129 I am fairly close to you over in West Frisco and have had a similar problem with 129. I had been using a Dish 1000.2, but even after being peaked on the the new 622 signal levels I was barely over 40. I also do the installs myself as I prefer to blue screw the dishes...

    61.5 to 129 for RNS-any loss

    I think the only problem you will have is that the bird is not as strong as 61.5 However, to get the RSN HD.......it is so worth it. Now...if I was concerned about signal strenght....I would go ahead and put in a 24" dish instead.

    61.5 to 129 for RNS-any loss

    This is very interesting as when I called to tech support, they told me that it was not possible for a 61.5 dish to be moved over to 129 and instead HAD to use a Dish 129. So please let us know how it turns out. One thing I noticed from this thread, there are a lot of us from Dallas. I am...

    Moving 61.5 dish to 129

    Due to the new RSN's on HD, I wanted to move my dish 500(clarify that it is a dush single sat LNB) from 61.5 over to 129. The lines are run through a DP 34. Now I have not hit signal yet, so two majpor quesitons. 1. Is it possible to get 129 with my current setup as the online dish help...

    Getting Starchoice in Texas

    confirm Sc coverage I can confirm that one can receive SC in Texas with no problem. Since it is in the in the US ku frequencies, take the guys advice and go with the largest dish you can get away with. I have never heard anyone complain about too much signal. The Satellite actually goes...

    More than 1 HD receiver Upgrade

    There appears to be a lot of confusion as to how some people have been able to upgrade more than one HD receiver. I figured we could dedicate a thread to just this issue and possibly get the admin to sticky it as I am aware of many with such questions. As where it officially stands, Dish...

    Problems with ABC HD in Dallas and dish 811

    Frisco OTa I am in Frisco and with a Yaggie I am getting close to 80% on the WFAA. I also noticed some discussing 33, but that one is even stronger at 85. I used to have a lot of problems when I was in DC, but possibly getting a better antenna may help. I should have mentioned that I am...
