I guess this means that Bell users will be SOL after they cross the border!

So does this mean I finally have an excuse to switch to Starchoice?

I guess for those using Bell, it would be necessary to get a report on reception after May 12/12 to verify if the signal is being received or not. If it turns out there is no signal from a Canadian who is travelling in the U.S after the above date, it would be handy to give everyone a report to comfirm.

Thanks

It usually takes about a month after a new satellite is put in orbit for it to become operational
I think if signal is checked in mid July it will give a better indication of how far south it can be received
FWIW

Update!
N6 (91) is now in full operation
Had PM this morning from Ft Myers saying that they have lost all signals/programing!
Would be nice to know who else has lost all as well

That's a shame but what I was expecting. Thanks for the update.
