The German ARD transponders on 11836H (Das Erste) and 11362H on Astra 1 keep going off air. Apparently there's a major thunderstorm over Frankfurt where the uplink is. It must be pretty major rain to be knocking the feed out completely! I haven't checked analogue, but digital seems to be OK again for now.
 
Looking pretty dodgy here, too. Half-expecting to see a frightened chicken scurry past.



(I said "scurry", not "curry")
 
Shame, I fancied a chicken curry too :-rofl2
 
It's been fairly bad here as well, at first I thought it might have been my end but other channels were fine except for those two transponders. (The other regional ARD transponders are uplinked from Pottsdam, WDR from Langenberg).
