Astra 1N @ 28E - about to go on air / on air!!

[iggy]

Are you able to get Astra 1D?

The sidelobes are bound to be different on Astra 1N.

I am getting 2D V polarization 24/7. Let me try other box, somehow Bush HD won't pick a thing....

excuse me to ask but to be sure: you did switch to the unusual 8PSK?

21dB, not bad ;) (about 5 dB more than 2D)

Netherlands according to your IP

Of course I did

I have to correct myself, it is one of the best BERs, the signal level is slightly weaker than Eurobird, but stronger than 2D.

so they tested the spotbeam at 1.8E, we just couldnt believe it would work so well.[/QUOTE

Good signal in Windischletten hope for us Brits in Frankfurt

 

[hexah]

When are the easter eggs due?

Immediately after Christmas - they fit in the space left by the departing mince pies.

:-sugar

 

[sattom]

Of course I did

Sorry, sometimes one just overlooks one small thing ... some boxes do need auto instead of 2/3 but I assume you tried that as well ...

here the content of the new transponder:

I see they use the 19.2 East DVB-S2 standard now, probably due to the strong signal in the UK, they can now use the more efficient 8PSK.

the freesat box have a option to manual tuning liek the sky box, i aint sure where the option is but if you find it then put in the above information, which is 11127v 22000 2/3

Sadly it doesn't seem to have that option. You can only scan a list of fixed transponders - presumably Freesat will update that list in due course with the 1N TPs.

 

[welshman234]

Just notice that my sky hd box had a new software upgrade last night.. wonder if this is anything to do with these changes...

 

[timo_w2s]

It won't be too much of a shock to tell you all I can't get the new C4HD tests on an 80cm dish in Helsinki. Not a peep. Will try the 1.8m tomorrow but not too hopeful.

 

[skystar]

I see the new TP in Budapest, ~ 250 km from Vienna



min. size, as for all other 2D's TPs is 120 cm

Snap!!

A boring report from me. 98% SNR from Zone 1 mini-dish on this TP.

 

[Lazarus]

Snap!!

Good one!

Great minds, and all that.


Another .png and I would have been reminded of the old "three nipples" joke.

 

[Analoguesat]

BTW - anyone with a Sky HD box cant tune the C4 HD signal in as the boxes cant manual tune DVB-S2 atm.

Hi,

I have a Technisat Multytenne (45cm dish with 4 orbital Positions 13 19,2 23,5 and 28,2) on my balcony. I was not able to receive Astra 2d here in Munich - but the ch4hd test is coming in pretty good. In Munich/Germany you normally need 80cm and up for Astra 2d reception. I'm using a dream800se



bye
