Astra 2E: Testing at 43.5E

[Pride Of Cucamonga]

The longer the better for us on the fringes.

As usual just my opionion

I wonder how many ex pats in Spain will move back to the UK when they lose main terrestrial channels? May sound slightly hysterical, but could be the final straw for many TV-loving retirees.

I'm not sure that this carrier-11570 H is from Astra 2E,overlap with the vertical polarity.What appears to you ?

Here we go again - I guess most people already know their lilely fate from 2F reception so will already have decided what to do next! - with the availability of large dishes and internet here I doubt many people will want to give up the warm for the cold of the UK.... We have been using FilmOn a lot recently despite haveing a good sat signal simlpy becasue we use the record factility so much and watch whenever we want - and on the bit of kit we want! really great for us.

Groundhog day. Did you know 4 out of the 5 main PSB channels are already transmitting on 2F? And when they switch on the five new BBC HD channels these will more than likely also be on 2F. And when BBC2 HD regions start these too will most likely be on 2F. And possibly 2E will be the saviour of the south.

Mod Note: Nobody minds the odd Off Topic comment, but if it threatens to turn into a debate about in-service coverage of 2E/2F, then perhaps another Topic is required ...................

Strong test signal at 12037H



P.S. I'm testing a new setup, an Invacom SNF-031 LNB with a Gibertini C120 feed at my Gibertini 1.25 dish, so there are some differences in the graph (signals from Turksat are much lower now).

 

[strs65]

I think there is a test now at 12662V. But I'm not so sure about it, I haven't seen a test at this range so far...

 

[solly]

12032h it low caries 2db here and quick down

 

[strs65]

Another strong signal at 12459H now...

Also in my area entered signal on this carrier-12463 H.

@satesco
I got here 4.8db
high power pan Europe beam
good news for me I can get lock signal when it move to 28.2e

 

[satesco]

@solly,I hope to be as you say.As shown on Constellation,indeed strong signal on this carrier-12463 H.Now it's gone

 

[strs65]

With what card did you get the constellation on this frequency?

 

[satesco]

@str65,with TBS6925 card,using Inverto black LNB!

 

[strs65]

Nice, I mostly use the TT S2-1600 for those scans, because it is much faster. I think I should try the TBS too! Do you use a certain version of the driver, or it doesn't matter?

 

[satesco]

Yes , I only use driver 1.0.1.17 version. The best results with this driver !
