I had an old 18" DirecTV dish still in the box laying around, so I decided to give it a try on Nimiq 4 since I was pegging the meter on a 6' dish. First I tried it on 91, I got a lock on most transponders, but there were 3 or 4 that I could not bring in. On Nimiq 4 though, I am getting 60-80% on every transponder, look angle is only 1.4 deg. More amazing still, using an old standard DirecTV .6 LNB, nothing fancy.

So up here in Fairbanks, 82 is stronger than 91 by a good margin. Time to upgrade my programming package!
