My System: Sky UK family pack. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (4.6E/5E/13E/16E/19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA (with dragon cam), Coship CDVB 2300A, Fortecstar Lifetime Ultra, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S, 2250kb  The last noble sat warrior to fly the olden flag of Analogue |
There are unconfirmed reports that AM 22 at 53E has lost its gyros. It may be worth keeping an eye on this one, and seeing if signal strengths start to vary. I assume they can do some orbital corrections with the onboard thrusters, but if the gyros are indeed knackered shes basically a write off....

I'll see what else I can find over the next few days - if there is a problem its not something that can be kept quiet very long....

Blog Entries: 1 My System: Triple Dragon with HDD/USB stick, Humax HDCI2000, Echostar AD3000ip & SR8700, Fortecstar 5100CIUltra, Aston Simba, RSD ODM300. Swedish Microwave 1.2 Motorised dish / Invacom C120 twin LNB driven by the AD3000. 3 other fixed dishes. Diablo/Mrev Cams  Fighting the evil 3 Dragons under the Don Quixote banner,Sir Llew persevered where others failed | It does seem a little unstable, at least checking the SNR levels on 11161V. Strangely, I seem to have lost all signal at on that TP, although the 11616V picture is fine here, albeit similar variations in SNR. Maybe just my location though. Llew
