12012V (STV HD) has had most of the encrypted channels removed. Its possible that this tp will be changed over to the UK beam so 2 more STV can go clear again. If the third sub region moves onto 12012 from 12090 then its more of a clue this is going to happen.

Do you mean Sky cinema channels have been removed from that tp?
I still receive them on the same settings though

The recent news that the BBC will progressively close down the SD services on satellite over the next year is bad news for some viewers in extreme fringe areas where BBC HD reception is unreliable.

10818V is expected to be the first DVB-S SD frequency cleared, and this will be in the next few weeks. It will then be reconfigured to DVB-S2 8PSK with HD services launching onto it. The other SD tp's will be then be done one after another.

Temporary none regional replacement SD services will be provided - currently they are on 12422H. These will be closed by April 2024 though.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Do Capita/TVLicensing send their monkeys out to these 'fringe' areas, or do they only deal with the low hanging fruit ?

Can you give me information about the reception of the sky UK beam in your place in England. Which antenna size is sufficient for reception of the complete 28.2E satellite, i.e. Astra 2E, astra2F and astra 2G. From my geographical area, Slovenia is possible with large 2.4 antennas m and get more, but not 24 hours. There are noticeable fluctuations in the signal throughout the day, time of year.

A 45cm "zone 1" dish is sufficient almost anywhere in the UK. In the past a 60cm "zone 2" dish was recommended for the west & north but the new satellites put stronger beams across the UK.

Yes, a lot has changed in the last 15 years. Now the district is much more focused on the area of England itself than it used to be. Thank you very much for the first-hand information from your geographical area

Thank you - I was just wondering what size of window panes you need. I am renting 1700 km from London. All for informational purposes only.

As all the BBC SD channels have now closed & ITV are in the process of closing down their family of SD channels, I shall tidy up the first post in the thread to remove redundant information.
