Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 2

[M60]

I'm still up too, waiting keenly!

 

[Leeashaz]

me too...getting a bit impatient now! How quick is the actual migration per transponder? I'd imagine it'd be over in a few seconds??

 

[Pietclock]

10862 / 10876 gone here !

correction, they are on the 2E Spot beam now, receivable here with 125cm 8,0dB.

 

[kota]

watching this. Maybe will keep it for posterity

 

[Steve Steve]

What channel is that please...

 

[Pietclock]

Now 10.936 changed to 2E spot beam. Massive signal drop here but reception possible with 125cm @ 8,8dB

 

[strs65]

10862H, 10876V, 10922H, 10935V most probably on 2E Uk spot beam now. No lock here with the 1.25m, but it looks much more promising for a >1,80m dish than before!

 

[M60]

How does it compare with 2F's spot?

 

[Pietclock]

yes, I can confirm that, all moved to 2E spot beam. I still can receive them, but MUCH weaker.

Yes, I noticed too here.
In northern Portugal, it seems 2E is even a bit worse than 2F, especiallly H polarization. I can barely lock with 180 cm.

Gone here. First one. Next ...

 

[Pietclock]

2E Spot about 0,5dB weaker than 2F spot.

 

[M60]

Just 10744H to migrate.

 

[strs65]

How does it compare with 2F's spot?

2E signals seem a little better or at least on par with the 2F spot here (no lock from 2F spot either with the 1.25m). 1N spot was totally invisible here.

 

[M60]

2E Spot about 0,5dB weaker than 2F spot.

So not a lot in it. The reports will be interesting when they roll in.

 

[Pietclock]

Here a scan as of now:

 

[M60]

Quite a drop. Just one more Sky TP to go.

 

[solarboy]

Still getting all BBC ITV C4 except channel 5 here in the Algarve on 2m prime focus

 

[kota]

and the hits just keep on coming !!! Losing channels galore !!
