Is 10958H a 1N frequency? I can't see it on the LyngSat list for Astra 1N. Just scanned it and am receiving 5 USA, 5*, Channel 5+1,etc.

You are still locking the 10964 Transponder >>>>> Each TP is around 20MHz wide so if you target a frequency a few MHz away from nominal, then you will merely lock the nominal..................

There have been no changes as yet.

Erm... Hello?
Sorry - I'm one of those non-technical readers waiting for gems of wisdom from those with "the kit" and hoping I keep a decent signal in Barcelona.

I know that it has nothing to do with 2F, but I observed 1N signal increase recently. Frequencies which have always been almost unreachable e.g. 11127, now showing almost around the clock

Yes, a tricky area where you are: I see you are using an 80cm for now and even a little further South or East bigger is already de rigeur.

I can remember a summer in the 80s when the England cricket team went through 4 or 5 different captains. They didn't win much!

Good morning, and ditto :-) The only "kit" I have is a Humax Foxsat PVR and a non-steerable 80cm dish. Astra 2D was fine here (except a few transponders in bad weather), so I eagerly await 2F! 1N has been receivable here on 53cm dishes with cheap LNBs. Location: Bergen, Norway.

After reviewing the last reports I'd say nothing has been switched yet. Maybe a single transponder (10964H) has changed -> #156 @avionista, #166 @solly

/edit
have to check on 11024H -> #190 @Huevos ;)
