After spending so many months in Northern Alberta and Yukon fields, I have permanently moved to settle there. However, I cannot 119W and 110W birds to work.
I had it working in Ontario (on a rocket) until I moved. Here is the deal

I scanned and got between 80 and 95 signal with zero quality (could be am even on the wrong bird). I have tried different sized dishes and still the same. A satellite technician in town told me I can't get the two birds my 360 premier is hooked on because the birds are too close to the ground and that I can only get B*V and Sh*w D****t. or anything with lower than 100W

Now here is where I need help

is it actually the case I can't get D*SH but only B*V and Sh*w D****t.?

is there a way I can get D*SH with my Rocket on other birds operated by D*SH, say 61.5W?

What are my options?

Thanks

You cannot get those birds that far north, sorry. You might be able to get a an Alaska beam but I doubt it, plus most or all IKS would not support Alaska, also try 129 just for kicks.

What i suggest go with an IKS that does beaver bev...

The reason you can't get those birds is they are not pointed all over NA, just USA and the edges of Canada.

I actually used the values provided by dishpointer and got the high signals but 0 quality. Not sure what to do anymore and living in isolated research site with no TV is no fun

110/119 can be seen that far north, however it will require some creativity ;)
