Can someone post current Edm Signal Strength with 20"

[Dean W]

Hopefully someone can help me out.

Can someone post their signal strength for every transponder on 91 and 82 that lives in Edmonton area?

Thanks in advance.

i get 66 on 82 and 70 on 91-using 2 18"dishes-in calgary.

The reason I am asking is because I need to decide whether to put up a 24" dish aimed at 91 only or do a 82/92 20" dish. I don't have HDTV right now (nor a HDTV receiver) so that isn't an immediate concern. I wouldn't mind getting ahead of the game by putting up a 20" (82/91), but don't want to have any hassles with rain fade which will be less of an issue with a 24". Putting up two dishes (one for 82 and one for 91 is not an option).

Here are signal strengths on a 24" and 30" in the Edmonton area from people I know just for interest sake.

Trans - 24" - 30"
1 - 95 - 100
2 - 83 - 93
3 - 100 - 100
4 - 98 - 100
5 - 81 - 83
6 - 80 - 91
7 - 100 - 100
8 - 98 - 100
9 - 100 - 100
10 - 100 - 100
11 - 100 - 100
12 - 98 - 100
13 - 87 - 88
14 - 84 - 96
15 - 86 -88
16 - 82 -89
17 - 100 - 100
18 - 100 - 100
19 - 87 -85
20 - 85 - 91
21 - 100 - 100
22 - 100 - 100
23 - 100 - 100
24 - 100 - 100
25 - 100 - 100
26 - 100 - 100
27 - 85 - 87
28 - 85 - 96
29 - 88 - 91
30 - 83 - 91
31 - 85 - 87
32 - 85 - 96

Dean, what receiver are you using? The reason I ask is last night when I hooked up my new 3100, I noticed it had a better signal strength than my old 4700; on the same transponders.

With dual LNB I was averaging around 62 to 78% in Edmonton but last week the boost signal has improved to average 80 to 98%.
Rain fade has been a real hassle this summer and I often questioned changing from Shaw cable. I am glad that Bell decided to improve their transponder signals to help during storms.
