andrewcrawford said:dnt see why they need to, as far as i know they can put any trasnponder on any of the beams so the only reason to put it on the spot beam would be to restrict coverage either for fta or you dnt want overspill even with encyption
M60 said:Yes I agree to some extent but if the Middle East and African beams require expansion (which are both growth markets for SES) they may need to restrict the UK/European 28.2E widebeams as more Ku spectrum is activated on these other beams, thus to avoid interference issues. Just a thought??

2b or 2a wont move until 2f and 2e are there so they have backup, but 1n will probally go not long after 2f is theresolly said:the beam africa it have astra 2b spot mean
maybe astra 2f have african can be replace both 1n and 2b q4 this year 2012
tothbros said:andrew, i saw you gave your predictions to some ppl here before...whats your educated guess for me in budapest, hungary as far as 2f? right now with a 150 gibertini i'm picking up most verticals from 1n, but struggling with horizontals 10862 upwards.
its extened to 32 the last line is 32 if i am right on the grpah, which is bit inaccurate due to me not been able to draw the lines good but is pretty much on wha ti think power levels owuld beapart from the spain side which should extend a bit further down but not by much.solly said:please edit agian foot privet extnted blue line after 45eirp to know if it arriveto turkey or greece very important east countery
