Astra 2E: Central & East Europe Reports

[zorbua]

Gone BBCs.....as expected. ITVs still there.

 

[npire1]

Yes BBC appear to have made the transfer over to 2e ! I have the same flash of full signal quality strength as I switch from itv to bbc2 on my humax which indicates that I will probably get bbc and the c5's back later this morning up until afternoon or sometimes all evening depending on conditions and time of year etc ! Not the best news but could be worse I guess ! The main problem is that dish has to be spot on or it will lose the signal !

Hi all,

All BBC channels lost this morning in Prague with 105cm ( 3x LNB )
I will verify this evening since reception can fluctuate during the day.
Not heard of any reports of single focus reception yet.
If I understand rightly all channels and frequencies stay the same so no re-tuning is needed..

Cheers,
A

Yes I think the frequencies have just been transferred over ! Not sure what you mean by single focus !

 

[npire1]

Ok I am now starting to get pixelated reception of the bbc transponders and as I type Its getting better ! C5's are also working and a little stronger !

Morning and hello from Southern Poland, Malapolska between Krakow and Zakapone (On Slovakian border). Interesting reports here from my friends nearby in Czech and Slovakia. I have a 1.1m Gilbertini motorised. I get nothing from UK spot beam but the PE beams are very strong as always. Some might even be stronger. I will have to get out my meter!

 

[MarkW]

So,lost BBC and ITV...No reception on 2E UK spot,same as 2F.Following Crazyscans show the change from yesterday.No lock on HD and only vertical transponers because am using an S350 satellite card in the pc

 

[rearofthestore]

Good Morning from Kamnik Slovenia (20Km N of Ljubljana) .
As with others selected 1N spot beam transfers lost (ie BBC channels + Watch HD) but all PE transfers as strong as ever and (maybe just imagining it but 5HD seems better quality picture?
Generic 1.1metre dish with quad 0.1 LNB.

 

[snaps]

I assume all the radio stations are still all the same, none of the PE stations have gone onto spot beam? I have never had the BBC stations, mainly commercial? I am unable to test at the moment.

in hungary, the situation got from bad to worse...now even a 4 meter dish only brings marginal results. here are the reception reports from a friend in east hungary:

Sky UK package (10744 H) 40%
Freesat package (10773 H) 39%
Freesat package (10788 V) 45%
Freesat package (10803 H) 40%
Freesat package (10818 V) 46%
Freesat package (10847 V) 48%
Sky UK package (10862 H) 40%
Sky UK package (10876 V) 48%
Sky UK package (10921 H) 42%
Sky UK package (10936 V) 51%

so again, this is with a 4 meter dish

 

[Captain Jack]

At least you know a 4m will pull these in!

 

[paul gouves]

tp 34 12363 V
flysat shows on 2E, Kingofsat shows 1N.
I believe kos any comments.

 

[Lazarus]

The consensus yesterday morning was that this is 2E PE. Of the TPs transferred from 1N on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, all but this one went to 2A.

I can't get any 1N but can get 2E Europe on a 1.8m dish in Helsinki. I can now get 12363V so pretty sure it is 2E Europe.

 

[Luxlizard]

Now at 12 noon CET ,in Bologna,Italy,there is a weak signal (this morning no signal at all) from BBC ,the images are scrambled,very disturbed,while chan 5 is perfect (I know it will disappear in the afternoon)..I've got a 150cm dish ....Anybody in the area with a 180 cm dish working?

 

[angoodwi]

Heard reports that BBC is lost on 190cm with multiple LNB, but weak signal with 210cm in Prague.
Again adjustments probably might be needed..

 

[paul gouves]

I can't get any 1N but can get 2E Europe on a 1.8m dish in Helsinki. I can now get 12363V so pretty sure it is 2E Europe.

could it be on 2A north

 

[Jester87]

No one in Cyprus can receive 2E.

[timo_w2s]

could it be on 2A north

No, if it was it would be extremely strong here in Finland. Trust me, it's 2E Europe. ;)
