Astra 2G at 28.2E: General Discussion

Hi ,
Here in HERACLION crete Greece no signal in new transporters !!! with Mabo 1,80 and vu+ solo2 inverto lnb. The 11720 H 29500 3/4 which is in Astra 2F have 13,5 db!!!
So in the edge of Astra 2G is cut sharp

Well it is there for all to see in the DVB tables on 11778V. Look at the TSIDs.

Then I look, all day outside.
In Madrid (Spain) levels as usual this morning.

Partners in the Balearic Islands in Palma de Mallorca, indicate better levels 100cm motorized antenna, "dramatic improvements" (11222h, 11224,11260,11261).
The new footprint is best for your area.

Luego los miro, todo el dia fuera.
En Madrid (España), niveles como siempre esta mañana.

Compañeros en las islas Baleares, en Palma de Mallorca indican mejores niveles con antenas motorizada de 100cm, "mejoras espectaculares" (11222h,11224,11260,11261).
La nueva huella es mejor para su zona.

Well it look's like I will lose the C5 channels on 10964 then. This was about the only transponder that I could receive on 2f so It's not the end of the world I guess ! Shame the C5's are not duplicated on 2e. Will have to watch neighbours and home and away online then.
 
Might be worth mentioning that those of us who have their LNB skew fine tuned for E28A might find that reskewing the LNB for Astra might again improve the SNR on the services that have transferred to Astra 2E/F/G in this period, assuming that the new Astra craft are using their usual skew offset. It might make a difference to some in fringe areas who have lost services from E28A.

Just grabbed this from the DVB tables on 11778 V at 16:20 UTC, and still 11223H and 11263H show E28A TSIDs.

I know someone is going to say these tables are wrong but why would the TSIDs for 11225V and 11265V have been updated to Astra TSIDs and not 11223H and 11263H? Only reason I can think of is they are still on E28A.

Just had a long play with the bent Fam, did not like what I saw, so set up an old LH110 as well.
LH110 struggling on most uk txps now, not a chance of 10964 H ( Channel 5 etc ) reverse of what I am seeing on the big dish. Bent Fam performing better, but also struggling to get CH5 a few mins ago.
Did notice the focus seems to have changed somewhat. Until now on the 110´s LNB was pushed right back as far from the dish as possible, just now had to slide it halfway to the dish to get any signal on BBC´s etc.
Have to go for a meal now, so will play more tomorrow!
 
The sharp drop off in the south east of Europe might have something to do with Arabsat ... so SES can also use the near Arabsat frequencies without interfering...
 
In the other post and saw the changes you mention.
https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums...-switchoff-looming.165381/page-12#post-931717

I did not see the tuner to compensate the frequency difference, to make a search looking at the data from the service provider, I conducted the search with the right /new frequencies.
img_a4540.gif

In search of 17:00 (GMT) tp's only 11.000Mhz above, then perform another search, it seems they are making changes now.
Not take into account the tp 11052 which again do not tune.
-------------------
En el otro post ya vi los cambios que comentas.
https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums...-switchoff-looming.165381/page-12#post-931717

No los vi al compensar el sintonizador la diferencia de frecuencia, al realizar una busqueda mirando los datos del proveedor de servicios, ya realizo la busqueda con las frecuencias correctas/nuevas.
img_a4540.gif

En la busqueda de las 17:00 (GMT) solo tp's por encima de 11.000Mhz, luego realizo otra busqueda, parece que estan realizando los cambios ahora.
No tener en cuenta el tp 11052 que de nuevo no lo sintonizo.

Results for 11200 - 11450 band on my 54cm dish. If this is 2G's pan euro beam on 11223H and 11263H then I'm not very impressed. There is little improvement of E28A performance and nowhere near the output of 2E/2F pan euro beams. The results for V transponders were much the saame.

I am in Istanbul with 170 cm antenna.
I can get all of Europe beam on 2F and 2E easily but I LOST below TP s after movement

this is disappointing that if they moved to 2G Europe beam

11222 H = 92 %
11224 V = 99 %
11260 V = 99 %
11261 H = 95 %

Plenty more tp's going to go disappear for you in the near future in that case
 
Im a bit surprised just how feeble the 2G European beam is compared to 2E & 2F Euros as well - one of the frequencies moved overnight has actually gone done half a dB here compared to 28A last night! The other three have only gone up ~0.5dB
 
I assume that the reception we see in Scotland is because the 2E and 2F Euro beams are centered on the UK, whereas the 2G Euro beam is centered on Germany.

I wonder why they didn't use the Spot beam, as they did with the 11307s and 11343s.

Here in Sweden the 2G Euro beam is the strongest by far, which is to be expected. Not quite as strong as the old 2A/2B North beam, though.

Regards.

28.05 ... :eek:
Do they want to kill the big dishes now ? Let's see if it moves back to 28.2.
The measurement was still a bit too early to be sure i think.
 
It is quiet possible that 28 east will become as tight as 19 east within 0.2 to 0.7 degrees of 19.2 east

Yes cazhh, at epoch (morning of 16 June) 28.2° and still moving West. No good clue yet. I rather see the COB info appear at SES !
