As it’s that time of year again, the Eurovision feeds for the Song Contest are back up in the same places on 7°E/10°E. Will be showing the first semi final dress rehearsal tonight from 20:00 BST

7°E 10968H 19200
10°E 11269V 19200 3/4

Anyone getting lock on these? Just wondering how strong they are this year before I move any of my dishes by hand. The only time I’ve ever managed to lock one of them briefly was in 2016 when they turned the power up a bit...
 
10E 10.8db
7E 10.2db
 
Two FTA, ESC News 1 and ESC News 2 on 7 East. 11105 V 9875. Fairly strong 11 dB in Ireland.
 
Thanks! Can *just* get the 10E one to lock (with a little break-up sometimes) on my 80cm.

Picture quality is stunning. 4:2:2 Playing fine in Kodi in Windows 10 with hardware acceleration on a Radeon graphics card.

You didn't mention the audio, speaks volumes....
 
Managed to get it to lock a little better this evening. At 8.3dB there's only 0.4dB margin though (It's 8PSK 3/4 judging by when it breaks up).

There should be a Dolby E track in the feed for the 5.1 (broadcast quality). Apparently FFMPEG can decode this now.
