Bell's new UI on the 6131 looks great. It is a great improvement and has a nice look. Dish Net needs this new UI on their 211.

Yes, both foot prints have changed. They do not go very far into the states. 82 does a little better east and 91 a little better west. Colorado is too far South for reception, probably even with a bigger dish. I am in Indianapolis and had to install a bigger dish and I am right on the edge...

I use a 1 meter dish in Indianapolis, no problems with 82 or 91.

Indianapolis, IN using a 90 cm elipital dish for both 91 & 82 and getting great signals on both. I have lost zero programing during the switch over, even the HD channels on 91 come in fine.

Not on Bell, Locals are encrypted using Nagra 3, you will need to subscribe. Check the Sat Maps for coverage area as Bell is not available except in the North US and Swaw may disappear soon.

Thanks, for the info.

I have Bell channel 1202 on and it is not WBZ CBS Boston HD like it usually is, it is now WIVB CBS Buffalo HD. Did they switch all the East Coast Nets from Boston to Buffalo? I will check out the others during the news to check.

From that location Bell Satellite Subscription service should come in fine. I had to use a larger dish in Indianapolis but you should be far enough North a D500 dish would work fine. You will need a clear los to the south (mine is pointed almost due South).

"I am interested in ordering shaw direct also, but what is a broker and where do you go? " I am in Indianapolis and have Bell with no reception issues using a 90cm elipitical dish. PM me and I can give you broker info on either Shaw or Bell.

You will not receive anything on 82 that far south, no matter how large the dish is. I had to go to a 90cm dish in Indianapolis from a dish 500 when they changed the footprint of the satellite. 91 should come in fine if you aimed correctly. You also may have a bad LNB.

I live in Indianapolis and have a Bell subscription. I bought my HD receivers from a broker in Canada and use them for service. You will need a bigger elliptical dish for 82 & 91. Mine is a 30 x 36. Signal quality is about 90% on most of 82.

Thanks for the tip.

I just purchased a couple of Bell receivers and am getting ready to set up service in the US. I know not to hook them up to the phone line but can I hook them up to an ethernet connection to keep up on software updates to the units. They should not be able to tell I am in the US, or can they?
