I have not heard of anyone receiving the Bell signal much beyond the Canadian (100-200 miles, maybe). A larger dish might help but I am doubtful.
So far, I've been able to get 82 in Long Beach WA, about 300 mi. from the border, with a good signal strength on a 24" dish and generic LNB.
The satelliteguys.us website has a coverage map for 82here and on their page here, it looks like I should be good farther down through OR towards CA.
I don't understand why I could get just 82 close to the CAN/US border last weekend (and just 91 if I had wanted that). We're currently about 50 mi. from the border.
