Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 2

[lovelyperson]

Yes it's a little out as well ,we had so much overkill never bother to adjust. Will get on roof to adjust and post some readings later.
I am just going to take some readings off 1.37 so will stick them on as well.

Thanks for that..............friend called (located centre of Torrevieja) and said that on 1.4m offset no BBC HD receivable (10847) ........ 10818 V is ok but no joy on the horizontals.

Look forward with interest to seeing your readings later.

Be safe.

out of the sky channels, watch hd seems to be the only one that fell victim to the switchovers

 

[Huevos]

On the Costa Blanca the situation is much improved over 2D, we only got some channels part day on dishes 1.9M to 2.2M, now we have them stronger and 24 hours on as little as 1.4M, 1M- 1.2M

Not on a 1m anymore bud.

 

[Pride Of Cucamonga]

Fractionally lower signal than the 2F spot here in Valencia city, but all channels coming thru without breakup. However, the sky is clear and doubt much room for rain fade.

10876V switched to PE beam (11:00 GMT).

and the same with all the disney channels that were on 10862h - is now in 2e uk, but i can receive these as well...must be mapped to the new disney tp?

Currently mapped to 11914H.

thats an interesting development...

EDIT: i did the "add channel" thing on the sky box, and "no signal" on this tp, so can't be pe beam

Probably not set up right. Reports from Aicante to Murcia are good on 1.3m.

Back to 1N?

Edit: No, can't be

 

[tothbros]

Back to 1N?

Edit: No, can't be

no, because i have 1n uk...this has to be the new uk beam, as that is the only one i don't have

Currently mapped to 11914H.

Is Sky deliberately switching all their encrypted channels to European beams so their offering is more compelling for those who have lost the PSBs?

Are you sure what is/was on 10876V hasn't migrated to 12266H as I think it's carrying a copy of these.

Back on spot beam now.

That was what I was thinking. Could the script be following the mapping rather then the real frequency reported on the web page?

 

[timo_w2s]

Back on spot beam now.

OK that's weird.

according to lyngsat, there is just one home of nickelodeon uk + 1 : 10876v, and on sky channel 605 i have this channel working, which means it must be coming from a pe beam

Just checked here for you. Good reception, based upon thhe numbers that I am seeing, would say that it's undoubtedly 2Epe.

I have nickelodeon +1 in 12266H with good signal

I agree,it seems Sky are very interested in keeping subscriptions abroad

 

[tothbros]

thx for checking it...
so this means the sky box must be mapped to 12266h for those nickelodeon channels.
until now, i wasn't aware this freq carried nick channels...
