    Nimiq 4 strength

    Very good here in New England Outside of Boston, my signal strengths went from 60-75 to 85+ on all transponders on 82! We are also above the Canadian line here in Boston, if you drive west, you hit Canada eventually

    CANAM Satellites

    I used to use Canam with Evu. When you called you got the feeling they were screening calls, they always made you talk first before they'd say anything. I always felt 'creepy' with them.

    Having 82 sat problems....

    My EVU is all fixed. It was the wire, but at the point right before it goes in the ground I pulled out the bad loop of wire, barrelled the 2 pieces together, worked perfectly so I slatherred on silicone all around, making a tight seal on it and all my connections for EVU. Next, back to...

    Having 82 sat problems....

    Well, here is the answer to my own question... YES, the 'X' can mean the dish is not pointed right. My 82 dish had moved about 3 inches due to high winds Put it back, Input 2 saw it, sw21, 91/82 on on input 2 Input 1, down, switched switches, problem stayed with 1, switched inputs to...

    Having 82 sat problems....

    What exactly does the 'X' satellite mean, instead of 82 or 91? Does it mean a sat was found, but it couldn't figure out what it was? Like if a storm moved the dish over? Can I still go to 'dish point' and point the 82 even if my check switch says 91 and 'X'? Then when I get a signal, on...

    Having 82 sat problems....

    Not a good week for sat-tv I am having Dish problems with my switches there, (See other thread), and now my Bell system can't see 82 I took out the switches, and connected an 82 to input 1 and an 91 to input 2 of the 9242 receiver. The 91 is fine, the 82 says 'X' for satellite and it...

    missing odd transponders on 82 evu

    You mean plug one of the 82 lnb connectors into the receiver sat2 connector and one of the 91 lnb connector into the sat1 recvr connector? I thought that setup would make it so I couldnt get dual tuner capability. I have a spare dual lnb, so I guess I'll swap out the 82 lnb for the new one...

    missing odd transponders on 82 evu

    well, To get back on topic :) Do you think my problem, which still exists, is lnb or sw021 related? Since it shows on BOTH inputs, I am inclined to think the lnb went out, having sat for 18 months with no power and shorted or something. ideas? phil

    missing odd transponders on 82 evu

    Hi I just put evu back in Worked for a few hours but now it said chk switch and says: 82 port: 2b odd transponders missing I am running on old sw-21 switches. But they wouldn't both go out. Maybe an lnb died? Been a while since i did satellite so I am a bit lost...

    Why Canadian is the way to go.

    It is not their fault that you moved outside their transponder range. They are a Canadian service. They do not and don't say, they will take US customers. If you moved to Florida, tough for you. Cancel service. That is like being mad at Dish Network when you move to Alaska and the service...

    Nimiq 2 Signal Strength in Southern US

    I live in New England-Boston. I was about to post that my signal strength on 82 went UP about 6 points! So, I think they must have tweaked the signal, pointing it a bit more north.
