BVN TV signal in canada

I had reached out to Atlanta DTH several times, and got no response. BVN themselves also stopped responding to me, without giving any hopeful information.
It's the impossibility of rural unlimited internet service in this area that prevents most of us here from just using the online streaming and forgetting about the satellite reception altogether.
I'll keep hoping for a better solution...
Thanks for what you have done!

I posted at the same time as you it seems....
As per my previous post, please check how much signal you are getting now.
sparkycivic:
I'm not at home till later, but phoned a couple of friends and they report solid picture now. one was off for several days, so this is a big improvement.
Lattitudes here are 49.5 and 49.9'N
Longitudes near 100'W.
I hope this lasts... Eutelsat 113Wa is only almost 10 years old, electronics don't usually get better with age -especially in space! This razor-thin margin is begging for a better long-term solution. I hope BVN will participate in the Galaxy 19 multicultural TV neighborhood, that is a logical solution for Canadian coverage.
sparkycivic:
My dish at home is in no shape to test the difference. I gave away all my good parts to keep my friends online, so now all I have is a rusty 32 inch dish and a drifting LNB on my h-h motor. I can't keep a lock on the signal even now.
At least my friends are getting acceptable picture quality now...
DrSat:
Do you receive Hope Channel on transponder 11995 with that dish? If not then your alignment could be a bit off but I suspect that a larger dish and/or more sensitive LNBF would be required at your location.
sparkycivic:
Hope and Esperanza are coming-in slightly better for me now than BVN. My mount is definitely out of alignment, as I just tried other satellites in the arc using the motor, and find that the satellites at the top of my arc aren't coming-in. I don't use this dish much.
