Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 2

[popolon]

So no changes occured last night for ITV/C4 TPs? No changes can be seen at least in SW of Finland.

 

[solly]

I guess Sky don't see Freesat as much of a threat any more so have prioritised overseas sub revenues. Another question is why they have moved to a higher frequency transponder. I;m sceptical that these lower frequencies even have European beams.

the next week will be change it

 

[solly]

Guess your right there, also now SES have plenty of non-European footprint TP's available then Sky holding on to the ex-2D TP's isn't worth it versus the subscription revenue from abroad. Makes you wonder now if they will utilise these two TP's for something else or cease operation of them?

I presume no more changes overnight tonight considering it's all quiet on here? I wonder if we'll see any of 11817V, 11876H, 11895V, 11992H, 12032H, 12051V and 12480V (C4) migrated over to 2E from 2A too with 2A left with the ex 1N PE TP's?

the old tp of 2a will be or stay until 2g come or change next week

 

[M60]

Yep, any final changes will take place next week now I guess.

How does 2e / 2F compare in the UK in terms of signal strenght ? ( Curious )

 

[M60]

Now the two Sky TP's on 10862H and 10876V have had their services novated on the EPG, it will be interesting to see if Sky close these and the carriers are dropped.

 

[timo_w2s]

Surely it can't be long before 10921H is moved too. Seems odd having those Sky channels on a spot beam too. They moved there when Eutelsat closed some transponders in October.

I also think the remaining 1N spots (ITV and Ch4) will moved before Wednesday as it looks like 1N will be off to 19.2E on Thursday as SES are not providing any positioning information after Wednesday afternoon for 1N.

also think mid next week astra 1n close last 6 tp use uk freesat
and move to position 19.2e
any know new footprint of astra 1n will be on 19.2e ?

as SES are not providing any positioning information after Wednesday afternoon for 1N.

Where can we find this positioning information for SES?

so all sky tp move to astra 2e
only stary freesat

Where I am at the moment (Scotland), the signal strength and S/N ratios on 2E transponders look pretty much identical to 2F transponders. (Crazyscan/BLscan check)

KoS reports that the Eutelsat 28B is moving east now. _en.kingofsat.net/satellites.php

Yes indeed: Further information here

 

[C0re]

My apologies, I didn't see that topic.

 

[Lazarus]

Not a problem >> It's just that some people might want to know where she's heading

 

[BCW]

Not a lot of activity yesterday. For the record, the activation of 12127V (QSP, SR 27500, FEC 2/3) around 1:30 pm CET.

i move 2f to astra 2e ?

 

[tothbros]

itv hd channels are clearing off 10936v (moving to 11097v)...i think either to make way for sky to swift this over to PE beam, or because sky is emptying this tp, like 10862H, and moving their last remaining sky channels to a PE beam tp (watch hd and star plus hd). i expect 10921h to follow suit...

 

[TonyWhalley]

Does anyone have a clear picture of what transponders/frequencies have actually moved and where? (because of King of Sat etc certainly don't)
If there is a list would love to see it ... apologies if its on the site somewhere!
