ITV1 and ITV2+1 now available on ASTRA 2C

[BLUEPLATINUM]

Blueplatinum - even with your big dish you can´t get 2B North?

What beams can you get on what size dishes?


Cheers

Triggs

I can get it.

The reason I'm so interested in all this is because I have a lot of friends with 80cm dishes and SKY cards and I also have another house of my own here (for holiday rental) with an 80 cm dish.

3 new test labels have appeared on 10891H on 2D.

10130 - carrying an Anglia
10150 - blank atm
10165 - blank atm

As of this morning
10130 - unknown flavour of ITV1 (presumebly one of the Anglias as reported)
10150 - unknown flavour of ITV1
10165 - ITV2+1

Does not bode well for 11052H on 2C.

Does not bode well for 11052H on 2C.

So why go through all the effort of opening up 11.052H in the first place ???

The channels had to go somewhere during the swap around. ITV also contracted half a 2C tp about a year back - now we know which one they have been given

True. It is good to know which TP they have.

However, as far as I can tell from this whole saga, the transmissions on 11052H (2C) were never actually linked to the EPG so ITV never actually had to light up that TP. I think the plan changed somewhere along the line.

I have a very happy friend who has been watching the ITV euro football matches from the comfort of his home instead of having to sit in some hideous tourist pub to see them (god forbid he should tolerate commentry in Spanish). It is a real pity, for real people that these transmission are lightly to end soon :toke:

@Blueplatinum

Yes as far as it concerns the channels on the 2C tp, as the 2B tp is here to stay. So all in all what we will miss is ITV2.

I am expecting a technician to come round tomorrow in the morning to align my lnb that points to 28 degrees cause (as stated in this thread) I cannot receive 2C although here in Athens you don't actually need a dish larger than 1m.

Come on Blueplatinum,a bit of optimism!
This move will give many expats in mainland Europe the reception of ITV1 on a stable basis with smaller dishes required than before.

You are correct. It is good news. Even helps me as I will no longer lose the channels after 21:00.

 

[maniacop32]

I hope itv1, itv2+2 are here to stay(on 2b) and its not only untill the end of euro2008!!!!

 

[Zorba]

Lightly to end soon ??? Anyway what will happen to 11.052?

 

[digi24]

I hope itv1, itv2+2 are here to stay(on 2b) and its not only untill the end of euro2008!!!!

Why do you see connection between the activation of 11052 and Euro 2008 ?

[Zorba]

What is the strongest signal for ITV on a Sky Box? . FTA - Strongest signal on a FTA Box.

 

[Prodelin]

I bet AS work at a teleport in the UK where he gets all information from.
