Astra 1M is reported to have been lit up overnight with very good signal strengths. One Italian member of DS forum reports 18% better signals over 1G!

Any signs of signals BombedOne or HB13?

I think I will not be able to perform any tests till weekend, maybe tomorrow morning I briefly can try...
 
Beaming in loud and clear in Lanzarote
 
Signal is very strong here on Latvia...
For example - Disney Channel Germany from Premiere package - 98% SNR on my DM 600 right now. That's with 90cm dish and Astra is on multi feed, not on the center...
 
But what was signal Q during previous times?
 
Previous times (till last night) it was 90% SNR... So, signal is very strong here on Latvia, I'm happy about it...
I Hope, that RTL and ORF will move to Astra 1M, because right now these two transponders are very weak here - first rain and they are lost... Well, in a few months I will reorganise all my sat system,so maybe this problem will be solved. 19E will be on bigger dish (but on multi feed too), need to add 36E (Russian channels, t.i. Eutelsat) and Thor 1W...
 
as some russian experts report, signal strength will change in nearest two weeks and coverage zones will be adjusted (in directions of power reduction) :)
 
Right now scanning all Astra 19.2, maybe channels, like RTL LIVING, Eurosport Zwei and Cartoon Network Germany will be available too...
Because they were (maybe they still are) on some Beam (don't remember the letter), that has no signal at all...

EDIT: Nop, still no available...
 
At the moment only 4 tp's have been swapped over, all for Premiere.
 
haha, unbelievable :)

According to Dr. Dish, so so reception of 19.2E fleet in Iran was capable only using 7 meter dish...

Now, so huge improvement? :D
 
Astra now have officialy released 2 footprints of European Beam and Widebeam
