When will we be able to receive astra 2g??

 

[M60]

astra 2g freuqncy plan
10,70-11,20 GHz; 11,20-11,29 GHz; 11,45-12,19 GHz; 18,85-21,20 GHz; 21,40-22,00 GHz
maybe can be Mideast beam

So 2G doesn't cover the existing EB1 11.290GHz - 11.450 GHz allocation? I should have another look at the frequency plan someone put together on here.
