Astra 2F: Pre-Operational Discussion

[Ask]

i change lnb before one year a go
the gain of inverto low then invacom
but local osilator very stability
any flanch are you with inverto lnb prime focus c120 ?

I did not compare with Inverto flanch, but as I understand, the Inverto Blach Ultra is the best with in fringe areas together with Invacom Quad.
My question: is the Invacom optical/fibre better compared with Quad Invacom/ -Black Ultra?
The numberes are better!

Regards

Hi All,

Unfortunately I can't pick up the signal from the UK spot with the antenna of 1.5 m.All the attempts have failed whatever LNB I used.
But if you talk so much more about satellites on this position, I'll post the value in dB for each transponder scan.I have to say that to the evening in my area the signal on Astra 2B drops quite significantly on different transponders:

Best price option LNB for offset dish is the inverto black ultra 0,2 lnb available in various forms ( single, twin, quad ETC.

Look at the pictures in the pdf I linked to - you have a virtual quad in the house which will destack the signals.

If you staill have questions theres an email address on the page.

A poster on nother forum is claiming the following -

An email from SES received 28-11-2012
Looks like the transfer from Astra 1N to Astra 2F is going to take some time.

Thanks for your request regarding ASTRA 2F. The transfer is ongoing at the moment and is expected to be completed by end of this year/ early next year.

Best regards
Markus

Is that a verified mail????

 

[BLUEPLATINUM]

Well never being backward at coming forward I texted him on the mobile number freely available on the internet

Evening Marcus. Can you confirm if it is true the 1N to 2F migration will take until the end of the year? Can you supply any further information? Many thanks....

and the immediate reply I got says

End of the year/ early next year. Will see for details, it's ongoing. Regards Markus

Realistically they only have 3 weeks or so to do it now. XMAS is the busiest TV viewing period of the year and I doubt they would risk big issues during that time.

what big issues - they are the largest satellite organisation in the world 52 going at one time - so far i think they are only 3 days behind IN EUROPE
but this week they are up and running in AFRICA

marcus is the head public reactions man - based at the press office in town - not out at the sharp end
the next year bit will include 2C coming home .... its an ongoing project

Linking to him might not be so cool with him.

its his job he is head of public relations at SES - dont forget ´´he who dares lives in tenerife´´

End of the year/ early next year.

Well that's kind of obvious. We are already at the end of the year, so it must be the end of the year or the beginning of the next. Also this includes migration from 2A, which is not under the same time constraints as 1N.

Let's see what Friday night brings.

 

[Pedro0102]

I suppose that SES intends to do the change ASAP but the DTH operators may be blocking them due to the vicinity to the Christmas period. This may be the issue that someone reported about the DTH operators not being ready....
Usually all network operators (not speaking just about satellite) block any major changes in their networks during the December period.
