[C0re]

Only SES and/or Eutelsat can answer your question.

here in Portugal center zone dish 1.25

catch channel 4, film 4, e 4, more 4, itv , itv 2, citv, itv 4, stv, utv, itv 3 but not catch any channel bbc

pretty much looks like a copy of 11.008V - so this one will move to high band as well.

Those are not yet on ASTRA 2E. They will move soon. Can you receive Channel 5 ?

My BBC One NI HD prior to transfer to 2E had signal quality levels all over the place, averaging around 50-55% with some break up in worse than average rainfalls. It's now a solid 71-73% and hasn't blinked once since Wednesday with the downpours we've had here. It's now on a par with those on the 2F spot beam, maybe 2-3% lower at times.

Is this on 2E or 2A do you reckon?

If you missed the map link here it is

still some areas missing - about to start on the Spain / Portugal reports.

Up to date on the western Europe & central/east Europe sections.

It'll happen in the next few days: 1N is imminently due for release to commence its transit to 19.2E.

when astra 1n start transit to new location 19.2e
anather big tranfed signal will be up and lost over east and mideast

Does anyone know if or when 28A TPs are moving to 2E? Will it be next week?

I think they have to confirm the Freesat Home Transponder can be transfered to Astra 2e/2f/ without any issues, not yet convinced on that. If the frqeuency has to change then may be more complicated for Freesat boxes that as far as I can tell can't change their Home (default) Transponder unlike Sky boxes.

 

[Lazarus]

I can't imagine this issue has taken Freesat by surprise, so must assume that either a straight migration of 11428 H "as is" can be implemented or a firmware update can be sent to cause the boxes to look at another Data source.

If I were a betting man, the former must be a odds-on favourite.

 

[Schroeder]

Well the query is now with the Freesat Tech team to answer, wonder how long it will take them to answer. Humax were not interested said it's a Freesat problem (infers they are not updating firmware to fix it).

 

[solly]

ME beam test?

i saw big signal

11428h it from 28a
next two week will be close position 28.5e
so big tranfeld to astra 2e,2f,2a transponder
it can use spare transponder of astra 2a ?

 

[Lazarus]

I'd thought of that, but should have thought that 2A isn't of high enough integrity to be the medium-term home for such a vital resource. But you never know!

Hmm, I'm guessing not the ME beam... sorry. ;)

the signal 11675v
only caries without modulator
maybe testing before up signal next week

it is on 2A, but I dont know whether north or south, solly or someone who can distinguish those could have a look.
