Astra 4A (Ex Sirius)

Hi!
There are several new Georgina channels BISS coded on Astra 4A European beam @ 12700 H DVB-S2/8PSK 5632 3/4
I wonder if any of you getting those and on what size of dish is necessary. In my case I even did not get lock on T90, scanned them only on 1,5m PFA.

It'll come as no big surpise that my 35cm Channel Master dish is not picking up these channels in Helsinki. the F15 registers a signal of about 0.7-1.0dB.

Getting an intermittent lock on my Penta 85 - enough to scan it all in.

No problems on the Fibo 120.

Fine here, good lock on that TP, Gibertini 1.25.

OK, there is another frequency 12207.00 V DVB-S2 8PSK 30000 3/4, gives 30 channels including FTA time shared Viasat History HD/Nature HD (Russian language). And again, usually for 4,9*E we can use 80-90cm dish, here it seems to be too small. Is that our future? I mean should everybody look for bigger dishes?

No problem with 12207V on my 35cm dish, it's about 8.8dB which is normal for European beams and it's raining. Nordic stuff is a bit stronger at 11-13dB.

No problems here at all with the 85cm dish. Nice and strong at 90% SNR on Vu+ Uno.

Flying in on my 1m Gibby

Now the FEC has changed to the hard FEC 5/6

I receive the transponder with 11,5dB here.

Receive anyboby else this difficult frequency now ?
