I have Bell Express Vu in ntario, Canada; I also have a trailer in
South Texas where I also have a receiver and they both work on the
same account - until recently, I had access to the same channels in
Ontario and in Texas. Last time I went to Texas, I noticed that I no
longer had access to the majority of the channels. I took the receiver
back to Ontario and everything is fine with it. I tried adjusting the
antenna but the signal remains the same - on some transponders, it is
at 85-90 and on some other, it is lower. Can anybody give me advice on
how to fix that ? TIA.

once you get south of about Temple 160 miles south of Dallas you loose the
footprint for bell. About a year and 1/2 ago they did something now in south
texas your screwed. From what i hear Star choice reception works all the way
to Brownsville.

Star Choice can be received all the way south thru central Mexico.

You need 75cm elliptical dish in south as opposed to 60cm dish used in
Ontario.

Expressvu is using discarded DirecTV satellites for the transponders
that you can't get in the south.
