    Did you read Rizzo30's post?

    Some are reporting the loss of 91W but still having a signal on 82W, we are seeing a sharper cutoff on the signals from 91W in some areas.



    We need more reports......

    located 180 mi se of Chi town. Scaned 585 channels on nimiq6 with Dream Link and dish 100.2 with no switches. Added the dpp44 with power and only got 188 channels Get 91 on the 100.2 better than 82 on a dish500. Hope this helps. Got upgrade (33X30) coming next week to combine the 2.

    A larger dish will help, some have had to use as large as a 39" dish.

    The new satellite at 91W (Nimiq 6) now has a tighter beam then the old one, they moved the signal closer to the Canadian border, so if your still within the new footprint but in one of the lower signal areas a bigger dish would/could help.

    If you take a look at the link below, and zoom in on the NYC area you will see that the new footprint is just above NYC, clicking on the edje of the footprint shows that at least a 30" dish would be needed, but there are no guarantees if a 39" dish will work at your location.
