Regarding Planet Rock. When this was on Eutelsat I got around 45-55% quality and would suffer dropouts due to rain. I was very pleased it moved to Astra 1N as I get that at 98% quality. But I noticed on Astra 2F PE beam it's only 60%. I'm surprised as I expected a better signal from 2F. I'm in the West of Ireland (Mayo) so perhaps at the edge of the PE beam.....
Have you tried adjusting the LNB skew?
It could be the cable, especially if it's not a high quality low loss type and it is quite long. The 2F Euro beam shows it goes well into the Atlantic on the SES official site.I have in the past for Eutelsat but it makes very little difference on that box. I just expected 2F to be a stronger signal much like 1N is at present. Perhaps with my setup and the length of the cable run, anything on a TP of 12000 and above doesn't come in as well.
Not a huge loss as i use 28e mainly for music channels, but if the north beams and eutelsat would be closed, i couldn't receive anything from 28e then =(
I'm afraid the 2A north beam will probably be gone within 6 months and already some of the music channels moved to 2F. Not good.
That'll go too soon. No one is quite sure yet when 2A will leave, but certainly it's days are numbered once 2E and 2G come online.Any news on the south beam as others and I use it to fine tweak our dishes with weak signals?
That makes even less channels on 28e for Eastern Europe then. Counting them, that removes 39 channels totalTemporary transponders on 11954H, 11973V, 12129V, 12402V, 12422H, and 12441V are now all switched off but the temporary transponders in the lower UK spot range still seem to be broadcasting.
Yes, they where just there for a few days to help with the transition from Eutelsat to Astra 2F.That makes even less channels on 28e for Eastern Europe then. Counting them, that removes 39 channels total
Yes, it left overnight on 10th-11th Oct. See post #53111954h it left from astra 2a
