[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 929067, member: 196043"] Yep, they did say that, I just think after so long having all the UK spots grouped together in the lower band some people started to question if the satellites where really quite as flexible as they originally made out. Now I don't want to go putting ideas in anyone's heads but as the UK spots are stronger than Europe beams wouldn't it make sense to switch some more over and reduce the FEC even more? Perhaps the Sky HD ones that need more signal? I suppose the question is will the loss of some unofficial subs in Europe offset the cost savings of a reduced number of transponders. Now Astra 2G's Europe beam isn't centred on the UK and I still think it won't be used as much as the UK spot, could this be a hint of what is to come? [/QUOTE]
