Good Luck, I'd be surprised if you pick up any noise, since we can't get it with 105cm-120cm in Prague anymore.
Of course that may change but not looking good.

Channel 5's channels are on 2F and are not moving. Only the BBC and Sky UK spot transponders moved last night to 2E. ITV and Channel 4's transponders will move shortly.

5*+1 was replaced with Channel 5+24 at the start of the week.

I think it is a bit strange, maybe that means 2E is even tighter than 2F?

Oh I see ! I thought people were saying the c5's moved yesterday before the bbc moves but that does make more sense !

I think your right ! It must be ! I am always having to adjust the dish for 2f reception after the slightest bit of wind so If 2e is going to be worse then I will need to use the Internet option more often which Is not ideal !

With a measly 1mt dish I didn't expect to keep BBC as of today, and of course I don't, still, there might be hope with a slightly bigger dish as while I don't get any reception at all on BBC1 London for instance I do get it, albeit pixelated, on 964 BBC1 South, 965 BBC1 Oxford bizarrely enough, and 967 BBC1 S West. Also 115 BBC3 is somehow watchable. Is it just me getting some reception on these channels, can someone else have a go?

Hi Manos, do you get 12363V. I seem to get the new 2E PE swaps but not this one.

Again no astra 2e reception with my good quality 2.5m prime focus dish !

Could not test this morning due to high winds ! weather is overcast but strangely this normally improves reception for some reason ! Also no 2f signals at this time which indicates that the weather conditions are poor as I do sometimes retain 2f all day until late !

I think I will need to rely much more on Internet streams from now on which is a big shame!

If they where smart and used more dubbing technology for multiple country audiences and used country specific advertising I bet the Uk tv firms like c4 & itv could export Its tv channels all over europe as much of the stuff you see on european tv is dubbed uk & us content anyway ! They are basically doing this already with nat geo & discovery channel now ! You just select your language.

This is from DX Bozoth (legend in the satellite world!) from his Omicom S2 PCI + 3.7m Andrews dish in Püspökladány (near Debrecen), Hungary

Hi Alistair , I've seen a reception reports from an other site that says a 1m is good enough to pick up the spot beams from 2E and 2F(only SD was mentioned) in the Milan area.Maybe a better LNB(the one in the report was an Inverto,I like Opticum Quads especially if the cable run is long),decent cable or fine tuning the alignment might help.Cheers
