nimiq 2

For both of you guys- you need a 2nd LNB to be able to tune in channels from 82. "82" is another spacecraft up in the sky, so your dish has to be aimed to see both of the "birds."

Examples 3&4 from this thread will give you an idea of what I am talking about.

Bell can sell you an upgrade kit, or you get one when you buy a 6120 or a 9200/9220 receiver.
 
That sucks.
How much for the upgrade kit & how much is it typically for installation??
 
I feel insulted that I have to use the same Satellite service as fundie peons who buy into Puke Roburnson and Jezebel Foulhell's bullshit.

Like ALL freedom-loving people, I want my CGTV more than I do CBN.
 
their is a rumor on the internet saying that Bev will switch some of the us network feed(west) on the nimiq 2! Is that true?
 
I'm very sure that won't be happening.Only a small portion of the sub's have Nimiq 2.
 
You can scan the satillite with a "Free to Air" system. For pay services such as Bell, it only allows you to see the channel names & number (but lets you see channels hidden to customers. What's currently being shown on those channels? no one know, only a Bell techician could see it as they fine tune the channel as they get it ready for launch.
 
four of the channels just made it to the official guide:

727 NDTV http://www.ndtv.com/homepage/default.asp
728 ARY http://www.arydigital.tv/
729 SONY http://www.setasia.tv/
730 CBN http://www.asiantelevision.com/current_cbn.htm


channels remaining hidden and only scannable using FTA receivers:

404 GOL TV http://goltvcanada.ca/
690 Casino and Games TV http://www.cgtvcanada.com/
697 Sky TG 24 http://www.skytv.it/default.htm
720 NTV
721 RTVI+ http://www.rtvi.ru/
722 RTVI http://www.rtvi.ru/
835 LFEHD
839 MPXHD
 
BTW nimiq 4 isn't due for about a year now, so don't expect it anytime soon.

And the Rtv I believe would be the new Russian channels that are out, but not 100% sure.

Last thing, NDTV , Carribean and ARY are all out.
 
Actually, Nimiq 4i is currently in place and I believe providing service.

Nimiq 4, which if I remember correctly is currently being built by EADS Astrium and probably set for launc sometime in 07 or 08
 
Ya but the one that is there now it not the official nimiq 4, it is just a rented satelite for a little while. They will be launching a whole new one in one or 2 years.
 
Perhaps BEV should focus on less channels, especially HD ones and focus more on improving their compression rate. Some channels are just awful.
