82w in Florida?

Not gonna happen.

Since B3V tightened up the footprint several months ago when they put a new sat in that spot, most people in the lower 48 are no longer capable of getting a signal from 82w, especially that far south.

I'm in Northern California and cannot get a signal on any TP on 82w with a 1 Meter dish.

In other words, you're not going to get a signal from 82w in Florida, regardless of dish size.

Sorry, but that's the facts.
