At this time Nimiq 1 is at 91 Degrees and Nimiq2 and Nimiq 4 are at 82 degrees. It is my understanding that generally the HD channels are coming from the 82 degree position.
If in fact Nimiq 4 has that more direct beam to Canada then the FTA users in the south will loose channels. For testing a few channels might have just been moved over but I would expect more will be moved over to Nimiq 4.
Not sure where Nimiq 3 is as it was moved behind Nimiq 2 to support it.
Nimiq 3 was a DirectTv satellite that I believe was leased to Bev and might be back with DTV or some other area in space now. Could still be in the 82 degree area also.
