2G again VERY weak today, even during lunchtime only 10dB with a 240cm. One of the weakest days I can remember.

Hi, the new TP 49 10832H is listed as beeing on the 2E UK beam. On my end it looks more like 2G UK beam. Since I am centered on 2E I have problems receiving 2G UK beam. TP 49 is as hard to get as TP 63 11053 H. Can anybody confirm my findings?

It can't be 2G at is it out of 2G's doable frequency range as far as we know.

Edit: Scrap that, I was mixing it up with 2F. 2G can do that range.

Thank you for the info. It must be one of the strongest TP on the 2G UK beam, even stronger than TP 63.

10832H very strong here as well, at time of posting I'd vote 2E uk.
Will now for sure tonight (gone = 2G, staying = 2E).

This has been the strongest winter season of 2G since it began broadcasting here. Very good reception througout, often a 1m was sufficient 24 hours, even during the evening low.
Let's see how the summer will be, which is usually much weaker than in winter...

@Pierangelo Be happy that you have UK beam @Astra2F reception at all. I do not know where in Italy you are, but seems you are in fringe reception area, so daily changing of signal levels is normal. Want more stable reception- get bigger dish.
