According to SES's Center of Box info 2E is still at 28.35E
=========================================
for 6 hours Astra 2E satellite currently at 28.5917 ° E I use informatsiiey from this site
http://www.satellite-calculations.com/Satellite/satellitelist.php

Dear me now that website says 2E is at 28.6169, is that the reason behind the recent worsening of the signal? I know other people in my area have had crap signal too lately so it's not just my set up, is Astra 2E moving? Is it temporary flotation of some sort?

Or in my case, it improves during the spring equinox and fades out again... :mad:

Yes, now the UK beam is very strong and less variations. 24/7 reception now...

2E UK down here too for some days. Already weak evening levels even weaker, my Inverto ultra quad blacking out, tried a cheap Maximum x0-11 single, which somehow upped the quality levels enough to keep a picture.

Everything came sliding back from around 24.00. This was one major level dip.

If of interest, very good here as well for some days. 2F up as well. After the collapse the 19th, all came back strong as h**l, didn't touch dish or lnb, and nothing special regarding weather.
