31.5°E Astra 1G

[aceb]

I don't know if conditions have been good or if the dish tweaking has helped but I caught two more transponders off this one earlier, these were 11934V and 12304H. There are some pretty hefty signals that I can't lock onto using the Prof but I think they are ACM/VCM so would be interested to know if the TBS6925 users get them OK?

No luck with ACM/VCM transmissions,

So I did a bit of tweaking myself & to my surprise I can pick 31.5 east up,
12012 V DVB-S/MPEG-2 27500 Euronews CNBC,France 24,
12090 V DVB-S/MPEG-2~DVB-S/MPEG-4 27500 Maxxi tv,Moya Dytyna,TVCI "Biss"
12168 V DVB-S/MPEG-2 27500 TV-7 "Biss"
I used to get these when they used Astra 2C but lost them when they changed to Astra 1G looks like the footprint may have moved slightly further in our direction :-righton

Also found in my data base after a blind scan:-
11934V 30000 45% Quality Red bars only no lock,
12305H 27500 42% ----------------------------------,

What receiver do I need to view these ?

Both frequencies should be easily receivable with any DVB-S2 capable decoder (actually 12304H is plain DVB-S/QPSK), so I'm not sure what the problem might be. I have no problem receive those two frequencies here either with my TBS 6925 or my Dr.HD F15 (I'm pretty sure I can receive them with my Technotrend TT S2-1600 and the Spiderbox 7000HD also, although I didn't try with them).

Thanks for your reply I will try the AZBox P+ later on these frequencies.

Finally managed to get signals from 31.5E after trying for quite a while! Got signal on 12012V, 12090V & a very weak signal from 12168V, tried others but no luck with anything else. Has anyone noticed if there's any time of day thats better to try this one?
