Astra 1N tests - latest chat

[satesco]

there is not content at all on 11165 H!In fact is a test signal.

 

[Pietclock]

The 11.165H SR 1000 Signal is now a bit weaker than it has been before and is about as strong as 11.127V, so I think it is on the UK beam now.

It's a wild guess, but could that be a test for those mobile internet services or VSAT or something like that ? I mean it is offering 1.5Mbit/s netto and you can place some of them on a transponder... of which this bird has 52....

I think SES said in their press info 2 tp would carry astra connect.

3dB down from yesterday (6.7dB vs 9.7d here, but certainly still on the Paneuropean beam...

i think uk spot beam
pan europe beam need to receiver 60cm 16 db

And I think also this is the Pan-European trps.In general, the signal on Astra is strong in the morning and during the day it decreases a lot in the evening, especially on dvbs2 transponders.

In most of Europe it might, but not in east Med based on the published footprints solly...

 

[solly]

it betwin 60 to 120 cm eirp are you post 3m 6 c/n very low limited
if it full power ses using we need near 6 meter in mideast or more

 

[strs65]

I'm not sure I fully undestood what you're saying, but just for the record my dish is 1.10mX1.20m by Tecatel and my place is not officially covered by those footprints (West Crete, city of Chania)...

 

[solly]

1.10m how much c/n are you got 11166h ?

 

[Huevos]

Id missed that.

Off topic: It's not under Service Searching, it is under Positioner Setup. That's why you have never seen it. Those signal bars are only available for satellites setup as DiSEqC 1.2.

 

[strs65]

1.10m how much c/n are you got 11166h ?

6.7dB today (earlier) and 9.7dB yesterday.

 

[solly]

i try tomorow early morning 6-8am to pick mideat
please check morning c/n and evening to see if signal down or up

 

[strs65]

Ok, I'll try...

Do Sky STB's support lower FEC's than 5/6 (7/8 and 9/10?)

I believe the only FECs native to DVB-S are 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6 & 7/8. The others are DVB-S2. Even on Sky HD boxes (in add channels) it is only possible to select parameters that work on an SD receiver, so only the above FECs, and the only available S/Rs 22 & 27.5, and no 8PSK.

 

[solly]

only stb skyboxhd suport dvbs2 8psk tuner
but unteresting to know what noise of tuner suport weak signal out footprint astra 28.2e
if tuner sensitiv like dreambox bcm 7504

 

[pipino]

from my experience the best tuner i´v seen performing very well is the one on Humax HDFOX from Freesat and VU+duo or solo ..i beleive uno too but i never tested it

Cheers Huevos, was curious to know if some of the DVB-S transponders which move to 1N may adopt 7/8 as a valid FEC (if SD Sky STB's support it).

I understand Astra 1N is going to carry ASTRA2Connect Broadband signals.

Some people also claim frequency reuse for broadband.

But acording to the following ASTRA2Connect will cover UK

Are the claims of frequency reuse causing fring reception problems a load-of-rubbish or have I missed something?

Frequency reuse is for the next lot of satellites, with Middle East and African beams, not 1N. (Unless SES have a surprise in store)
