[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 23905, member: 175235"] The rather strange lobes and edges of 2D don’t seem to have moved or shrunk since the sat started transmitting, so hopefully you’ll be okay for a while. But if it goes the same way as 2b North beam (which has been shifting and shrinking for a couple of years) a lot of people will be annoyed yet again. Like you, I at home despite being 800 miles off the official footprint for 2D could receive it on a 1m dish (south of Spain). 2B North used to be perfect on a 1.2m (20-30% signal in average weather on all transponders) but now with a 1.2m over half the transponders on that beam only have a 10% quality signal for a couple hours in the afternoon, at most. This isn’t my setup; everyone in the area is affected. [/QUOTE]
