I live in New York City. Can I use a d*** 500 to get Nimiq1 and 4 with enough signal strenght and quality?
Nimiq 1 + Yes
Nimiq 4 + No, Bell has narrowed spot beam
Thanks guys for all your help. But Setwire from the footprint you posted, it clearly shows that New York City is in the fringe area and will require a 72" dish. However some of New York State can get it with a 24" dish. I was trying to locate this updated Nimiq-4 footprint but could not find it. Can you tell us where you got this? I was able to pull in Nimiq-1 with quality of 89 but with only 46 with Nimiq-4. That is why I posted this question. This footprint answeres my question.
Will do. I just wanted to know the website because I cannot find one. They all show the old Nimiq 2 footprint.
Hello, I have a home in florida and have a bell expressvu system there. I realize that I cannot get any signal with a normal dish, and see that there are 1.2 meter dishes available for Hawaii and Alaska, is there any hope that I can get any signal on 82 for the high definition channels with that configuration?
Hi westnear
Good luck
Just from reading around
I don't think 82's footprint comes anywhere near fl
I read it might only come to some parts of ny and up
Good luck if u attempt to catch it
I tried this weekend to see if I could pick it up but was unsuccessful
Any tips from anyone would be appreciated
