It seems that there used to be all kinds of guides for locating satellites, but now there are none. I'd like to hook up a second dish to Bev; my dish500 gets DN. Which BEV satellite should I look for and how can I find the coordinates(for Pennsylvania)?

Nimiq 1 aka sat 91 most of the programming. Nimiq 2 aka sat 82 is High Definition channels.

Your very welcome, sorry I couldnt give you direct link (as no live links allowed), hope you get your sat hooked up. There around 400-420 channels on Nimiq 1 sat 91. Good luck.

I'm thinking of doing the same, but wondering what the channels are realy like, most say not good, does Bev. get hbo , ect,,, & wonder if its in English or French, or maybe some other lang. I won't be able to understand. Although people say the sex ch.s are good - who cares what lang. ha.
I'll prob. point a dish at-a-way just to see it once so I can say "been there, done that".
