Astra 2F Testing Reception Reports

[M60]

What I heard and posted about 2F's plans was from a trustworthy industry source, obviously due to confidentiality reasons I can't disclose who and where but wanted to let you all know what I've been told.

Hello solly,

please compare 43.5°E (Astra 2F Test Position) <-> 42.0°E (Türksat 3A).

Best regards
qwer.

how it back 3 transponder

11778v

[dx qwer]

I cannot confirm those 3 transponder (from Astra 2F).

Edit: As I can see in your attached file, solly, you get no peak on 12188 H (from Astra 2F), which is active at this moment.

The beams listed are complete guesswork

I think SES is testing the UK spot beam right now ...
This is what I got from the last scan,
it seems that it has the same frequencies of 1N UK spot beam but with a very weak signal.!!?

0N - 0E

According to these co-ordinates they are from somewhere in the atlantic just south of the coast of Ghana and west of Gabon sometime called the Gulf of Guinea

what sky on demand in spain ?? but without the PSB i would think??

That's if you know how to bypass microsoft silverlight.
I've tried it myself and couldn't get it to work through a software proxy.
However this website works well for streaming the freeview channel for free.

I prefer filmon website as freeview SD channels are free, If you sign up you can record programs again for free(you need to download the hd player from downloads section) and you do not need a proxy or to make changes to pc config. N.B For recordings to work the player(sign in on player once then close it) must be installed but just use the recordings section of the website for playback or watch live.

My first choice when weather wipes out satellite signal for me.

It does work (inc. PS at present with big dish and if Sky go onto 2F pan-european beam should work on a small dish. I have VPNUK configured in my router, but I did see a report from Sweden that it works without changing your IP.

ive been wondering how they can tell which beam it is, because the beams will have been moved off axis to the east so unless someone has took the beams maps and moved them to what they look like east of it final position so they can get a power reading for a dish size
