[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 911868, member: 176362"] SES obviously have faith the old satellites at 28E will keep going. 2G has been requested to operate elsewhere to keep a Luxy Governmental orbital slot from expiring and they are quite happy to accommodate that request with 2G. Eut 28A may be past her best but shes still operatiojnal & putting sufficient signal into the UK to maintain service. And to be honest even if she dis break down terminally this afternoon theres not much on there most folk would even notice had gone off air. Broadcast satellites are lasting way beyond their expected service life - breakdowns are unusual and life eol is normally determined by lack of onboard fuel. Its not long ago that one (heavily inclined) satellite was retired after 30 years of continuous service. [/QUOTE]
