Bell in Connecticut

[murrays]

I have a cottage in Prince Edward Island and subscribe to Bell TV. I bring my receivers to my home in CT. I installed a Dish 500 as I have a 9242 HD receiver my signal strength on 91 degree satellite and 82 were very good "80" on 91 and "70" on 82. The town I live in is Torrington. I recently moved within Torrington from high on a hill to a more residential location in a bit of a valley.

I can get 91 with a "80" signal strength but I can not locate 82 at all. My question is do I need a larger Dish?

For my Dish Network receivers I had to get an Eastern Arc Dish. I was told by the installer he could not "see" the 61.5 satellite. I had temporarily installed a Dish 500 for 110 119. This did not make sense to me as the Eastern Arc uses 77 72.7 and 61.5 satellites but he said I would get a better signal so I agreed. Unfortunately I have 2 522's and 625 receivers that can not be used with the Eastern Arc Dish. I have a 722 and 722k for now.

Does anyone know of an installer in CT that could help me?

Dish 100.2 foe belTv (expressVu)

I have a cottage in Prince Edward Island Canada and bring my Bell Satellite receivers back to the US. I recently moved a short distance in the same town, however I am having trouble getting the 82 Degree satellite for BellTV.

The Dish 1000.2 is for 110,119 and 129 (I would not need the 129 satellite so it would not matter if I did not use it). It is a larger dish than a Dish 500. Does it have a stronger signal on 110 and 119? Bell uses the Dish 500 since their equipment is made by Echo-star. They just aim the Dish and adjust the skew to "hit" their satellites.

My Bell receivers are a 9242 (similar to a Dish 722) and a 5900 (similar to a Dish 510. In other words will it work with the 5900 which is a legacy MPEG 2 receiver.

I did post in the Canadian Forum but I have not had any responses yet.

If you want larger go with two 24" dishes.

Yes it will work. Whether it's better, I don't know that.

Make sure you cover the 129 LNB with foil when aiming. My guess is you are receiving 91 on the wrong LNB.

Bell in Torrington Connecticut

I have Dish Network and BellTv services. I own a cottage in Canada so I have a legitimate Bell account.

I recently moved within Torrington. I was living high on a hill I now am in a valley. I had installed my own Dishes E* at 110,119 and 61.5. Bell at 82 and 92 with a Dish 500.

I moved to a condo so I had to have Dishes pole mounted. They allow me two Dishes.

Dish changed my satellite to Eastern Arc with pole mounted Dish. I receive te 61.5, 72.7 and 77 satelites. I have Dish 500 for the Bell 82 and 91 satellites. This dish is also on a pole about two feet higher than the Eastern Arc Dish.

I get a strong 91 satellite but I can not locate the 82 satellite. Per Dish pointer.com I set the elavation at 39.8 and the skew at 101.2, my compass setting is at 213.6.

Is there a larger Dish 500 that would allow both 91 and 82 satellites for a stronger signal? If so where do I get one?

Does anyone know of a installer in Connecticut that will come to Torrington to set up a Bell dish?

Thank you.
