Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 1

[Schroeder]

Yes, it's said that Lyngsat has a source within the Satellite operators. How true, how reliable and to what extent I couldn't say.

Personally, I prefer Flysat (despite the limitations on accuracy) and KoS (great for Searching for stuff).

Lyngsat do indeed get updates direct from the SES operations centre, plus Onastra use the info to update their site. However as this is currently a moving target, I rather suspect Lyngsat are not going to rush into an update until there is stability.

Tend to agree the info on Flysat, and KoS is somewhat easier to use, especially for the Sky transponders.

lyngsat was all i knew for a while, then got into flysat and i found the interface more user-friendly and transparent...kos, however is a hot mess, in my opinion

 

[solly]

I think we will leave any 2E Europe maps for a few days to wait until things settle down

Absolutely fascinating caching up with whats been posted whilst Ive been at work earning a few roubles today

like i say astra 2e pe beam ( europe beam )
drop signal 4db more then astra 1n
we see how the spot play over europe soon

 

[Pietclock]

The effect on coverage within Europe: Northern France and Belgium may see an improvement, outside of this area there may be a slight reduction in coverage with the need for a larger receive antenna.

The BBC deleted that sentence on their homepage

 

[tothbros]

Will it be an en masse transition to the 2E uk spot beam for those TPs destined there or in dribs and drabs?

@skomedal: one by one, like the nights before. This will take at least an hour or so.
