SATMEX8 is now EUTELSAT 117 West.

I hadn' t noticed that change. The result has been too weak signal on a lot of central America channels. The worse part was for Honduras.

Plus, some channels with strong signal have not video/no audio. The good thing is I got BYU very strong now and I got PX TV channel in HD.

This was a name change, not a satellite exchange. Shouldn't be any signal difference. Maybe something changed with your system?

Ah yes. Another reason NOT to use satellite names but instead use their locations! :deadhorse

Yeah, no change here with the Q on 117W. But if you're having audio problems some only have audio on the left or right channel here.

Yeah, maybe I would need to re-align my dish. Thank you for reply.
