Shaw direct F1 Satellite

Is it true that the HD channels now on the new F1 satellite are not available in Arizona?
Will changing to the 75cm dish bring in the HD channels on this satellite?

There is no new F1 satellite. Anik F1R at 107 is being retired later this year and programming will transfer to either Anik F2 or Anik G1, depending upon individual channel.
Any HD that is on Anik F2 at 111 can be received in Arizona with a 75E system / XKu LNBF.
Anik G1 at 107 has been in service since 2013, and is not available in Arizona due to its limited coverage area typically within 300 miles of Canadian soil.

The specific HD channels I do not get are 191 to 196, 200 to 211 and 161 to 180. I am not sure what satellite these are on
Would I get these with the 75 cm dish? I currently have a 60cm dish with the new tripple LNB.
