	Bell ExpressVu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Nimiq" is an Inuit word for "that which unifies", and was chosen from a nationwide naming contest in 1998.
		Nimiq 1 was launched on May 20, 1999 and contains 32 Ku-band transponders at 91°W. Nimiq 2, launched in December 29, 2002, also includes 2 K-band transponders.
		Originally called DirecTV3, it is an old DirecTV satellite moved to a new orbital slot near Nimiq 1 to offload some of the transmitting work from the original satellite.

		Nimiq 2, an A2100AX model spacecraft supplied by Lockheed Martin, developed problems with its solar power system in mid-February, less than two months after it was launched.
		Nimiq 2’s power system is nearly identical to those on the other A2100 craft, this source said.
		Nimiq 1, originally planned as a backup, now is the primary platform used by satellite TV provider ExpressVu, the sole customer for the Nimiq satellites.

	No US HD Networks from BEV to the Southern US? - AVS Forum
		I've seen posts that say that the odd-numbered transponders from nimiq 2 at 91 degrees are not on a wide-area coverage antenna, as are the even transponders from nimiq 1 in the same orbital slot.
		Nimiq 1 and 3 are fully loaded with high priority channels and most customers don't have access to 91 and 82.
		Moving even 1 HD channel over to 91 would mean moving a few SD channels to 82 and lead to lots of customer complaints.

		So, a bit of looking further and I found Nimiq (version 1.3.1), which bills itself as “enclosure ripper extraordinaire".

		One other thing to note is ExpressVu split some of the channels off of Nimiq 1 and put them on their “new” satellite, Nimiq 3.
		Nimiq 3 is an old Directv satellite and didn’t cover all of Canada, so they moved it north to cover Canada.

		Telesat currently maintains insurance on in-orbit satellites as follows: - Nimiq 1 - insured until the second quarter of 2005 for approximately its book value; - Anik F2 - insured until the third quarter of 2007 for approximately two thirds of its book value.
		These costs consisted mostly of future lease costs for excess facilities, asset write-downs and other provisions, net of a reversal of previously recorded restructuring charges that were no longer necessary because of the introduction of a new voluntary employee departure program.
		On August 1, 2004, the MTS shares were transferred from Bell Canada to BCE Inc. as part of a corporate reorganization.
