yep. Should be able to....he will have to change the elevation and skew on his dish but it will work

82 will be very marginal with a 20 inch dish.
The Nimiq 3 transponders on 91 won't be availble either.
I do have 5 fingers and toes so i should be able to count that high
For some reason I thought there was another crippled bird at 91W as well - so they had 2 Directv rejects.
Honestly, I dont watch their SD channels so I havent checked them since the change so you might be (or probably are) are right.
For point of reference, I have a .9 Meter Toroidal and my signal using a BEV 6000 as reference:

Given that my Dish 500 averaged about 55 on 148W and now is 75 with the .90, I would suspect that the signal would be in the 60s for most of these transponders in the Tampa Bay area.
Should work ok with a few glitches and fast fade if it rains.
This was first attempt at 82/91 on the white cable and 110/119 on the black cable.

I need to take a more recent shot as everything is well populated now.

Ice, I have to assume that D2 @91W is supplying a number of the Odd transponders signals. I have to believe that the D2 footprint is about as uneven as N3 was in the 91W position.
I am actually getting less transponders than before:
91W
TP S
1 44
2 87
3 00
4 93
5 00
6 84
7 00
8 93
9 00
10 93
11 00
12 93
13 43
14 80
15 43
16 80
17 00
18 94
19 44
20 80
21 00
22 71
23 00
24 90
25 00
26 91
27 41
28 76
29 44
30 79
31 13
32 81
At first I *assumed* maybe the odd side of my lnb was bad, but as I have a signal on 1,13,15,19,27,29 and 31 - I don't think that is the case.
Regardless, I do not think his uncle will get "all the 91W" channels if I am getting these readings in the area with a .90M dish.
