[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 816703, member: 196043"] I'm surprised no one else has commented on this, as it seems like pretty big news to me. I'm curious to know what this means for all the channels on Eutelsat 28A as I always assumed many where using Eutelsat as they where cheaper to rent than the Astra transponders. Will transmission costs go up as a result of this change and will we see some of the cheaper channels disappearing over the next few years? From a personal point of view, it's a bit of a blow as it looks like the Eutelsat 28A signal will transmit further east than the new Astra 2 satellites. I was counting on some signals from Eutelsat even if I couldn't get Astra 2F/2E any more in Finland on a small dish - especially up in the far north. Now it looks like we'll end up with nothing from 28E on anything under 1.8m or bigger on the south coast. [/QUOTE]
