No Channel 4 in Fuerteventura on 12480V

[satelliteman]

Yep either that or one possible solution is they have switched over 12.480v to 2B North (not received in Canaries) and moved 12.402 (as received) over to 2A North.

Time to get the spectrum analyser out Trigger

I'm inclined to believe that they've moved from 2A north beam, I'm now receiving Channel 4, 4+1, etc. with full signal quality here in Central Italy which is almost unheard of for my 1.25m dish as 2A north is the weakest 'non 2D' beam here. Normally only have 35-40 % quality on this transponder at the strongest time of day.

Interesting - we are now getting loss of signal reports from Malta.

Im starting to think the beam change theory has something to it.

It may be possible they are doing something similar to what they did on fox-turk 36e when the English premier footy was on, only on a more permanent basis :mad:

Remember when they kept lowering the uplink power just before the game so it went black in the UK but it was still ok in Turkey :-Nooo

Hi All. I have Channel 4 in Gozo, Malta but its all pixallated and comes and goes through the day. Been up on the roof half the night trying everything but cant get a better pic. I have a 1.2m dish so I suppose upgrading to a 1.5 would work.

Wouldn't rush and do anything yet until what has happened has come to light. It may be back tomorrow

 

[deejay]

Youre right, dont jump in with both feet. Hopefully back tomorrow

12402 V still working away fine here in central Italy, weird.

 

[paul gouves]

12402 V and 12480 V are now making it in Sunny Crete a lot stronger

 

[satelliteman]

Yes, it looks as if they have moved over to another beam possibly 2B North as S1 is out of the equation.

The person in Malta on the Astra2D site has also reported losing ITV this morning which he had stored in Other Channels. No idea which region ITV but a pattern is certainly setting in.

 

[zambujal]

Just to add in my 5 cents worth. I live in Portugal and I have an irish card. I have lost channel 4, E4 and more 4. Home+1 and really are also failing. The strange thing is that sky arts 2 is now showing which was impossible before hand. On my freeview box I have channel 4 and the others without any problems. Could it be a shuffle?

This is totally weird.
I used to receive sky arts 2 before this shift and now I can't receive it.
I couldn't receive 12480 V, 12402 V and 11992 H but now I have excellent signal.

Given your location, that would figure with other reports of those that are Easterly.

Let´s put it this way:the satellite has gone insane.
