US Expressvu Subs, we are losing a bunch of TP's in Southern USA

[angiodan]

Well, Expressvu has started using the old DirecTV3 satellite at 91 in addition to Nimiq 1, and in doing so, they have started moving programming to that bird. Unfortunately, if you live too far south, you can no longer pick these up, therefore losing a bunch of programming.

There is a long thread here about it, with speculation on why and what options BEV subscribers may have.

Programming on Nimiq 2 at 82 is not affected.

I'm losing a couple of sports channels that I count on for hockey. I guess until Nimiq 3 launches, (whenever that will be), I have a feeling BEV is going to lose a lot of grey market US subs.

I'm near the border (actually more north than Toronto), so I'm safe...registering 100 on 23 of 32 TP's (30" dish)

I was reading that thread...lots of people going to StarChoice
