They look ok but the bit rate is low. Only about 5Mbps on average.

Hi all,

another transponder to DVS-2 in OSN package , 11411 H , any confirmation ?
 
Assume this thread is still active !!
and yes I know now that I should have made much more use of this forum than I have done and maybe I would be a bit more informed than I am at present.
In desperation I was searching for answers for my problem and stumbled across this thread which has enlightened me a little.
My problem being; I have a 2.4m dish which has happily sat looking at Nilesat for the past few years, there have been the odd frequency changes to channels and loss of signal in very bad weather, but other than that all has been ok. That is until the beginning of August when I lost some channels which I was unable to re-scan. My investigations led me to discover about 201 and the channels I had lost had moved to this new satellite. Further investigation brought me to this thread.
My questions are :
is there anyone in the UK that can receive 201 ?
Will I lose Nilesat completely when the rest of the channels move to 201.
Lots more questions about Badr, but lets concentrate on Nilesat first.
Any information will be appreciated
 
You weill lose them eventually - N101 & N102 are elderly craft coming towards the end of their lives. They will require replacing in the not too distant future.

Nilesat have probably been swapping frequencies onto the new N201 to reduce the electrical loadings on the two older birds.

Any future Nilesat craft will have their coverage restricted to at least the current coverage on N201.

Pick a number - it will be just as accurate as our guesses. Start thinking of something around 4-5m though. Possibly MUCH bigger!!!!

Thankyou Analoguesat for your response.
The reason I asked does anyone know anyone who can receive 201 in the UK is because I do have access to a 3.6M dish, but do not want to go through all the trouble of installing it and still find I havnt got enough signal.
Although I think you may have answered this question with your reply to Martin in Leeds post. I'm just grasping at straws in the hope that I can do something to enable me to keep my Nilesat reception.
Am I deluded ?
 
We're all deluded, Your Highness: But sometimes hope triumphs over expectation rather than the other way around!
 
HRH - have a look through this thread I think there is some info somewhere - but if you put a 3.6m dish up just dont let queenies corgies piddle on the stand :D

Good - AB4A is Hotbird 10 and she will be sent to 13E to replace Hottie 6.
