I am setting up a new BEV 6100 receiver c/w 20" dish and can't get satellite signal to 82.
91 comes in great at 93% strength. Bypassed splitter switch & hooked up the 82 LNB directly to receiver, adjusted skew & still could not detect nimiq2, just 91
Question.... Being in Portland,OR. am I to far west or south to receive signal?
Have run the check switch on both & still nothing, could I have a bad LNB as all the 91 channels come through on the 82 LNB(whereby the 91LNB was not connected) ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your location is ok for receiving both satellites.
Satellite at 91 with 93% strength is good.

Disconnect your( satellite in) cable at the receiver and do a check switch with no input to receiver.

After it is finished and says no switch detected, install sat. in cable back onto receiver with switch connected outside and do another switch check.
See if it recognizes your proper switch.

What is your LNBF and switch configuration?
 

9220 with basic cable?

Is A&E HD ever going to show HD content?
