Astra 2G at 28.2E: General Discussion

[Analoguesat]

Don´t suppose they want to put BBC on europe beam just for test purposes?

No chance whatsoever!

 

[Channel Hopper]

What happened to sky sports f1 hd sd seems ok ???????/

Do you have the exact coordinates of where you are ?

How old is your dish / LNB and when did you last get the system serviced ?

 

[nwaggy]

strange its back this morning last night it was saying you skybox can not receive a signal my set up is all ok I have never had any problems at all just strange

 

[popolon]

Why I get strong 2C beacon at (actually already last year) 10953V, and what beacon signal is 11397V ? Or is this data? Are beacon signals using euro beams? as otherwise this 2C beacon would mess up also in UK...


and are these accurate info about beacons used?:

At this stage I honestly don't know. Guess we have to wait and see the whole scenario.

BTW What Signal level are you receiving on that freq which I gave you that is.... 11389 H 27500 2/3 (Bt Sport Europe HD. There are 9 channels on that freq -Horror ch+1 -Jewellery maker - CBS action - magic - heat-BTSpt-ESPN HD etc.

found all nine
70% signal strength and 80% signal quality.

That's good. Do you pan say from 45W to 70E with your 1.8 Dish...just to compere some signal levels if in the affirmative.

Keep in mind this transponder switches from Eutelsat 28A to Astra 2E in about a weeks time.

it's a fixed dish.

 

[zorbua]

it's a fixed dish.

O h I see I was under the impression of being moveable.

2E also accepting refugees from 28a ?

 

[timo_w2s]

2E also accepting refugees from 28a ?

Yes, the remaining 28A "C" transponders 11.388H, 11.390V, 11.426H, 11.426V will switch over to 2E at the end of the month.

I have just looked around the n2yo and satellite-calculations website. Both list 2G at 27.9 deg in the moment. Are these data correct? I have a hard time getting the old 2F TP's since the move. 2E is still OK for the time of the year.

No, it's old data. We have to wait for a new measurement. (or for SES to finally release the data).

 

[timo_w2s]

It's actually getting a bit irritating now. Why haven't SES bothered to tell us where their satellite is yet and that it is even online? I'm guessing at least the uplink providers know!! Why the sudden secrecy over 2G?? Where's the Center of Box data? Updated fleet map? Ephemeris data? The press release announcing how great their new satellite is? Even a brief acknowledgement on Twitter would be nice. Is the team who update their site on holiday?

 

[Pietclock]

Looks like they really were in a hurry. I mean this thing wasnt almost there yet and they were already starting transfering transponders...

 

[Archive4]

Looks to me that is is slightly West of 2F, judging by my and other´s findings

 

[Pietclock]

even lyngsat's info is not correct, they put 11509V on 2F-UK, which is certainly wrong...that one has to be on 2G Europe, it's almost burning a whole into my LNB cap. Same is true for 11464H and 11479V...
