Not sure if the new bird is active but noticed this on my 82 sat signal strength (on 3100) 5 TPs were just over 85%, 1 @ 82% the rest in the 90-95% range.

Those are nice numbers for 82 in Calgary. Just checked mine and they're all still in the 70s, same as before. I'm posting 5 hours after you though. Are you still seeing those kinds of strengths? Maybe they're testing at various times.

Bell has been quite busy with 82 lately. uplinking some new channels and such.

What are your skew settings & elevation, i am having problems getting 82 & 91 at the same time, I tired the book settings already. I am also in Calgary

Actually, I didn't use the book settings. I just eyeballed it and adjusted it manually until I had decent signals. I could probably improve it slightly with a little more tweaking but we're moving soon so I haven't bothered. I recall from previous installs that I elevated the dish a few degrees higher than what the book said. But that can be affected by whether your mast arm is perfectly vertical or not.

Are you getting anything at all on 82 and 91 at the same time, or is it a case of one or the other?

This morning sat 82 is at about 80 (77 - 83) across all transponders. This is on a 9200. I am in the Calgary area.
