I guess for the fun of it I could point his 1 meter dish at 91W to see if it can be picked up this far south but No hd.

Any other Bev sat that has HD that can be received in the South?
B3V only has those two birds, 82w and 91w

Take a look at lyngsat dot com to see what's up there.

If he already has a 1 Meter dish, I would put it on a motor (The DG-280 PowerTech motor is excellent) and start exploring the sky.

There are sats on DN that carry HD programming, such as 61.5w and 129w

And there are True FTA channels on 123w.

I wish 82w reached further south as I know plenty of people who would like to access their programming, but since Nimiq 4 has been moved into that space, the footprint has been reduced significantly and is focused more on Canada and less on the US.
