Bell Satellite Install - Without the 82 Satellite

[Imgenx68]

Hi,

I am moving and am in Nova Scotia, I have a new dish with Dishpro dual LNB's on it for the 82 and 91 sats. Now that the 82 is gone, do I have to skew the dish any longer (I always had issues with this). I am reading mixed items on this. It would be easier for myself if I did not have to skew it.

Thoughts and thank you

Good Day & Welcome.

As of Sept 2025, only Nimiq 6 91.1° is in service. Nimiq 4 82° satellite is now offline.

You do not need to set up or look for satellite Nimiq 4 82° anymore. Bell has permanently decommissioned and turned off the Nimiq 4 82° W satellite.

You still need to set the correct skew angle for your remaining satellite Nimiq 6 91.1° even if the Nimiq 4 82° satellite is gone

Take care.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. In other words, if I am in Halifax. The Dish still has to be skewed to  110.8, is that correct?

Thanks

Good Day @Imgenx68 

Yes, that is correct.

Halifax: Compass direction - 229.9 Vertical elevation - 33.6 Skew - 110.8

If you installed the dish yourself, yes, set the dish as my colleague @WelshTerrier has said. If this is a new or replacement dish and was professionally installed, you should be fine. Just confirm the settings. I have a dual LNB dish and saw no difference when 82 went silent. Skew is not changed for either satellite.
