These conspiracy theories are starting to get pretty tiresome. The simple fact is load balancing. 2F is going to handle band C and 2E is going to handle band D. When BBC open BBC Two HD England/Wales/Scotland/NI that will no doubt mean the opening of a new transponder on 2F (as that is where the free space is right now). That will then mean there is a full set of channels on 2F (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4, & C5). From that point on it is not very relevant what footprints any future launches bring as a full set of channels will already available on the satellites that are already active.Bazzer said:If 2F is so hunky dunky why do the BBC want to wait for 2E...........thus thwarting Astra's move of 1N to 19E in the process !
Where is the evidence that SES want Astra 1N at 19.2E in such a hurry? Astra 1N can move after 2E is up and transmitting next summer.Bazzer said:If 2F is so hunky dunky why do the BBC want to wait for 2E...........thus thwarting Astra's move of 1N to 19E in the process !

The Beeb has stated that BBC HD will become BBC2 HD so that will be the current transponder. They are looking to reduce the number of transponders not increase them.When BBC open BBC Two HD England/Wales/Scotland/NI that will no doubt mean the opening of a new transponder on 2F...
That is one channel, not enough for the countries. Let's wait and see. Here they have already started selling receivers with BISS keys preloaded and 27W channels in the channel list (just in case).PaulR said:The Beeb has stated that BBC HD will become BBC2 HD so that will be the current transponder.

I read in another internet page:Analoguesat said:If you get any more reports from your area - positive or negative please do post them
They've also stated that there will be no BBC2 regions - just a single BBC2. So that means just a single BBC2 HD.Huevos said:That is one channel, not enough for the countries.
Can i ask how you are drawing this conclusion ? I thought so far it was only reasonable to assume that BBC one HD ( regional ) would be on 2F. Id hope your right in saying that , just that pouring over the tid bits id not seen anything to confirm this.Huevos said:That will then mean there is a full set of channels on 2F (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4, & C5).
BBC One HD England & Northern Ireland are on 10847V (1N) and BBC One HD Scotland & Wales are on 11023H (2F). All the low band channels currently on 1N are going to move to 2E, so copies of BBC 1 on both satellites. As far as regional goes who cares? We live in Spain so none of it is local to us anyway and normally the only regional stuff is a couple of minutes at the end of the news. And anyway BBC One HD is not regional at the moment, but that just means a blackout for a few minutes here and there, i.e. less rather than more for being non-regional.davidcmadrid said:Can i ask how you are drawing this conclusion ?

Because they already are.davidcmadrid said:" That will then mean there is a full set of channels on 2F (BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4, & C5). "
Why do you suppose ITV , C4 , C5 will be on 2F ?
yes ... I've posted some screenshots from him here proving this some time ago.Tivù said:Is the report of a report from Porto corroborated .............................. ??
Sorry I was confusing in my reply , we have a different version of full set of channels but i take your point fully.Huevos said:Because they already are.
- BBC1 HD = 11023H;
- ITV1 HD, ITV1 & ITV1+1 = 10994H & 11052H
- C4 HD, 4Seven = 11127V
- C5, 5USA, 5*, +1s = 10964H
