Astra 2F: Pre-Operational Discussion

[easydigital]

im getting much stronger signals on all 1n tp's... Or should I say Astra 2F?

 

[C0re]

It's unlikely that the 2F would be stronger than the 1N outside the UK beam. I'm for 99% sure that it's still on the 1N.

Situation as usual here in Naples.

All working perfectly on my 1.25m, despite the horrendus wind were having at the moment

 

[Lazarus]

can you help me pls , what you mean?

It's a Contribution from the Abstract Tendency - no context, so sadly none of us know: But at a guess, I imagine it is the person's personal opinion of when the next 2F Transponders will light up.

^^That clashes with the D-band frequencies noted testing at 43.5E a few weeks ago.....

 

[C0re]

Who has measured any test frequencies in the low band on 43.5 East?

 

[william-1]

Yes I saw that link as well seems genuine to me & it makes you wonder why SES Astra no longer update down links on new satellites on the SES Astra site?

Good question I never saw them & neither did my satellite enthusiast contacts ?

I think ITV2 +1 just moved a few minutes a go.

Based upon ........... ?


Edit: Lol - I don't often get in first!

 

[Analoguesat]

Evidence?? Looks like the same power levels here.

Drat he beat me

 

[satter]

Based on that it just stopped working for me here in Berlin and very abruptly. Normally if the signal is bad due to weather BBC 1 etc goes first or at least at the same time. For the moment just ITV2 +1 says no signal on my NI Sky box

 

[ralphmagno]

We have made some tests here in Naples on the new 2f and have found that the signal will drop by about 5.5 to 6 db.
So to compensate we have figured that a 4 meter dish will be needed to receive the present free view off of the 2 meter dish that we are using now.
we will know better once it switches over. This should take place in the next few days.

It would be almost unheard of for scheduled satellite swaps to occur during the early evening - when millions of folk are starting to tune into their evening viewing.

Anyway we arent expecting the low band frequencies to move yet.

Just tried ITV2+1and just the same as before and as other freesat channels with SS at 70% on my Humax with 20db attenuator. However Tiny Pop and POP etc all levels now down to 60%!! Also noticed I have three new freesat channels including Sky News - but all shownig 70% SS.

 

[solly]

the spectrum the same not new signal up

Who wants to read the original documents thè SES placed it on his site about a year

ago that then took off after a few days later, loaded them on my website.

I posted a list of all the frequencies found during testing further back in this thread.

10754V was me on a couple of occasions and the other 3 in band D were logged by Solly. All could be bogus because none were confirmed from secondary locations.
