I have asked before, with no replys. Would a 30" dish restore lost BEV recepyion in So. Ca.? Don't want to spend the money, if it doesn't work.
30" dish for BEV?

The "Southern Provinces" have been hosed with the last satellite shuffle. This has been discussed in great length in a couple of older threads.
Nope. I bought one and an Invacom LNB specifically for this purpose. It restored transponders 5, 9, 23 & 25 temporarily. That is, until BEV adjusted the beam into LA again a few weeks ago and they dropped just below the 40% threshold level for locking. If you were willing to go to 1.2 meters, you might get a usable signal. But I would be very wary, as Bell will probably just mess with us again and you'll have wasted your time and money.
I appreciate all your input, trials and faults in trying to re-establish a good signal from BEV. Being in NoCal I've already given up on it, but because I'm still under contract I still pay. I plan on trading it away for a SC unit after the summer is done. I know there isn't too much being offered compared to Bev, but NFL is still cheaper than Rupert's D*

I can tell you that I had a 43% constant on 7, 11, 27 and 31 after the last readjustment - and my 2 BEV units COULD NOT lock on 43%....when it hit 45-47 for short periods of time during daylight hours (and not around sunrise) it was there...but errors galore.
So I am hesitant at calling 40-43 lockable when it actually comes to locking in for programming. Below about 45, I guess the error rate is too high for decryption.
And no, I don't think a 30" is going to do squat in the ring of death.
