Ahhhh OK, that may explain a few TP drop outs.
Thanks for the update.

Maryland - PA Line - was 80 - 90 % on all TP's , Dish 500-Single DP LNB
Lost TP's - 3,5,9,11,17,18,27,28
Did they Tighten the Foot Print from 82? I can get avg 50% on all Tp's on 82....
Time for a Bigger Dish!
what size dish are you using for 82? 30-33"?Quote:

once 91 is gone anyway for folks in So Cal to get Canadian TV? Can we hit any Canadian Sats now?
anybody have the xpndr changes, Mod FEC SR ? lyngsat?
82 i'm using a 1000.2 dish pan with a single lnb, planing on jumping to a 39", should work for both....Quote:

Thanks guys.
Keep in mind, while prob not significant for most, Nimiq 1 has moved slightly and Nimiq 6 is not exactly where Nimiq 1 was or is.
You may want some dish alignment to truly test these two sats at the present time for more accurate Q values.
Well I would agree, if they moved it a half a degree or more, but .1 degrees is not enough to make that big a difference, not when most LNB's have a plus or minus 1 degree aperture on the forcing cone.
If they move it (Nimiq 1) and the signals dropped, then there would be a lot of unhappy BEL customers out in the boonies with some signal problems, customer service would be flooded with calls.
And most BEL and Dish satellite dishes have a 2 degree receive beamwidth, otherwise you would need some very expensive equipment to align the dish to the satellite.
Back in the stone age, we needed spectrum analyzers to align the receive dishes.
Many Bell customers are reporting drops in their Q values during this transition, especially Arctic region.
Although, the drop in Q values are not significant enough until rain fade is an issue they don't see a
viewing difference, however, Q values have dropped for some and this shouldn't be a concern in a week or two.
In my case on the East coast, some Q values have dropped to the 50's and 60's but this doesn't affect
programming. In other areas, Q values are reported to be 100 pc. Service calls are unlikely for now.
As for the 21500 TP mentioned by timster, these are being tested on Nimiq 1 for now.
Fyi, scanned with LS MAX HD with 60 cm dish, Eastern Can.

Nice list Priestmill....
And I too have lost those TP's that Cableman0327 has posted, but you still have a signal on them, they may be switching over as we post.
All my active transponders are in the 99% Q range, so far.(on a 1 meter dish)
Anymore reports on any lost TP's?? (on Nimiq 1, 91W please)
I Haven't lost any more then what i previously posted, still on a Dish 500, Haven't switched to a bigger dish yet, But i do have 35% on 12.370 (not enough to do anything....)Quote:
