BEV is making the transition of some channels from Nimiq 2 over to Nimiq 4 (new satellite @ 82 W). so if you cant get them to scan your receiver is ok. just give it some time.

Nimiq 4 is NOW online at 82 degrees West

Nimiq 4 has entered into commercial service after it successfully completed orbit raising and comprehensive in-orbit testing.

The satellite, which is located at 82 degrees West, is equipped with 32 active high-power transponders in Ku-band and eight in Ka-band. The spacecraft has a solar array span of 39 meters, an expected 15-year mission life, and a launch mass of approximately 4850 kg.

Note: It has been reported that in the Southern United States that signal loss has been reported. Seems the new Stronger Nimiq 4 has a narrowed Beam concentrated at Canada.


Here is a couple post I came across:
Bev users should have known that the newer satellites would possibly have a more focused beam. We saw that signal loss a few years back when Bev leased a DTV satellite for a period of time.

The hd chanels are on nimiq3 at 92west.it is the same?thanks

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.

Hi every one i am new to this site i lost all chenals on nimiq 2 need help to get it back.

BEV has tightened up their beam on the 82 to cover Canada only. People in the US who live on the west coast and some who live in the northern states have reported getting a good signal using a larger dish. For most of us who live in the east and southern regions of US the 82 is now out of our reach

According to this there should be no need to move your dish from 82w.
(Nimiq 4 will broadcast direct-to-home TV from its orbital location of 82º West.)

EADS Astrium has been selected in January 2006 by Telesat to build the company’s new Nimiq 4 satellite. This is the third consecutive order for a Eurostar E3000 satellite from the Canadian-based operator following Anik F1R and Anik F3. Planned to enter service in 2008, Nimiq 4 will broadcast direct-to-home TV from its orbital location of 82º West.

Nimiq 4 will continue to enhance digital television services in Canada. It will feature 32 active high-power transponders in Ku-band and 8 in Ka-band. The multi-spot Ka-band payload will provide coverage of the most densely populated regions of Canada.

EADS Astrium, as prime contractor for Nimiq 4, will design and build the satellite and supply both the payload and the platform. EADS Astrium’s facilities in the UK Germany, Spain and France and will contribute to the design and manufacture of the spacecraft. Canadian industry will supply a significant part of the spacecraft equipment and technologies.

Nimiq 4 is based on the Eurostar-3000S version of the highly successful Eurostar communications satellite. It will have a launch mass of 4.8 tonnes, a solar array span of 39 meters once deployed in orbit, and spacecraft power of 12 kW at end of life. The double-floor E3000 model is equipped with an all-chemical propulsion system and Lithium-Ion batteries. The satellite, operating in geostationary orbit, will provide commercial services for a minimum of 15 years.

Update: Broadcast is scheduled to begin Saturday, October 11th......


Telesat, the world's fourth-largest fixed satellite services operator, announced today that it will begin commercial service Saturday, October 11 on its state-of-the-art Nimiq 4 satellite. Nimiq 4 is fully leased to Bell TV, which will use the new satellite to enhance and expand its industry-leading High Definition (HD) TV channel services across Canada.
"Telesat has achieved an important milestone with the entry into service of Nimiq 4," said Dan Goldberg, Telesat's President and CEO. "Nimiq 4 will expand the high quality digital video services, including HD services, Bell TV is able to offer all Canadians, and is expected to make a significant contribution to Telesat's financial results for many years in the future. I am particularly pleased that we have been able to start commercial service on this new satellite just three weeks after its launch, an impressive technical and operational achievement."
Telesat's Nimiq 4 payload consists of 32 active high power transponders in Ku-band and eight transponders in Ka-band. Nimiq 4 operates from the 82 degrees West orbital position and has an estimated mission life of 15 years.
Manufactured by EADS Astrium, Telesat's Nimiq 4 was launched September 20, 2008 on a Proton Breeze M rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Transfer orbit, in-orbit testing and traffic transfer was completed in less than three weeks due to the use of Telesat's innovative in-orbit testing system, close cooperation between the Astrium and Telesat teams, and support from Bell TV.

This is another explanation of this news, see Note

Telesat’s Nimiq-4 satellite has successfully completed in-orbit tests and has been placed at the 82º W orbital slot. The satellite was formally handed over to Telesat Canada by satellite manufacturer Astrium as part of the in-orbit delivery contract. The Astrium team in Toulouse took control and began operating the Nimiq-4 satellite following its launch on September 20, 2008, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The satellite arrived in geostationary orbit on September 24th and, after full deployment of its antenna reflectors and 39-m wingspan solar array, began in-orbit platform tests, swiftly followed by thorough payload tests conducted from Telesat’s operations station in Allan Park, Ontario. All spacecraft functions are performing fully as expected. Telesat has now officially taken possession of its new satellite and commenced operational service. Nimiq-4 will offer HDTV, specialty television, and foreign language programming in North America. The satellite features 32 active high-power transponders in Ku-band and 8 in Ka-band. Its multi-spot Ka-band payload provides coverage of the most densely populated regions of Canada. Nimiq-4 is the third Eurostar E3000 satellite delivered in orbit by Astrium to Telesat following Anik-F1R in 2005 and Anik-F3 in 2007. A total of 25 Eurostar E3000 satellites have been ordered so far, with 13 now operating in orbit and two more to be launched later this year.

Note:You may need to get a bigger dish if you want to receive Nimiq 4 in the U.S. The signal pattern that this new satellite produces is reported to be tighter than Nimiq 2. This may mean that Nimiq 4 will not cover the U.S. as well as Nimiq 2 did. Some Southern states in the U.S. may not receive Nimiq 4. The upside to this is the signal strength of Nimiq 4 should increase in Canada.

Problems with bev 82 read this



seems that since bev launched the new satellite nimiq4 the footprint has shrunk quite a bit where it seemed to cover most of north america it seems its covering only mostly Canada now, so if deleting the channels and rescan that bird doesnt help, then its likely you're not going to get it.
