Astra 2F at 28E (at last!)

[Wiglet]

Perfect, Are you near the tennis club? And do you me coming down to get some readings from the dish to help people on here with facts.

Not far away from there. Where are you? but it will have to be on a non working day.

 

[Wiglet]

I hope your not saying we are geeks? All us sitting here looking at a website worrying about a satellites reception rather than watching it - geeks? Surely not!

No i didnt mean it in a bad way, but reading all the posts you all know sooooo much, i wish i did. Sorry if i offended :-(

 

[Wiglet]

And can I ask is it working now?

Yes it is.

Nobody knows much for certain about the main Topic we're discussing.

Not even those who think they do!

Much speculation - little hard fact: But it'll all be over soon ......................

Sorry I thought BBC one NI HD may have been changed over as that is the channel that is on 11023H.

Well it is according to flysat or lyngsat so if someone lost it I assumed it had been changed over.

no it was just a fb comment from a bar owner ... possible drunk knocked dish lol

Here is the difference in Tenerife.

I know there are some very technical people on here so can I ask
To get another 4.5 to 5 dB more what size increase on a dish would be needed.

This is 2.9 by the way.

 

[daztfs]

Yes it is.

Of course it is.

 

[Analoguesat]

Can we knock of with the accusations & counter accusations please folk?

You can draw your own conclusions about what may or may not be working whereever.

The truth will come out one way or another in the next few days when more tp's start moving, as any duff reports will stand out like a sore thumb

NEW CONTACT IN GHANA SAYS NEW WEST AFRICA SERVICE on ASTRA 2F STARTS 27TH NOVEMBER ....

Hello initial reports from Rodos Greece. TP 11023 H
2.4 Metre no lock on signal even after adjustment
4.5 Metre locks onto signal 52% Quality (MVision 300HD) 8901 8911 BBC HD NO Pixellation Picture Stable
Time checked 14:00 GMT+2

Sorry for lack of detail but just a quick check, will report further as more TPs added.

 

[TENERIFEFORUMTV]

would you class rodos as at ´bottom´´ of the footprint so getting some signal unlike in the west or east where we are on the side

 

[Lazarus]

@rodos: Thankyou for that - very useful report.

new ceriear evening start 2.5 c/n on 11658h

new ceriear evening start 2.5 c/n on 11658h

hi Doron nice to find you !! (mashlum ha/eh )
Let me tell you that i have often had interference on my 5m DH from 26E whilst this was aiming 28.2E because 26E is way stronger than any 28.2E frequency. In your region in should be much worse.
i give same screens from my 5m dish (960km from you)
on that tp i cant lock on 11658 H but on 11665 H , and little hard to can think on this time if its 2f, meybe you know morre .
you can see all the locks and not locks from 10700-11700
I have analysed your bandscan and wonder your SNR at which level it is for 12640H.
i put and the 2 creenshots from the mornning witch was delete it .
Whatever you want me to ask you can get in contact with me either inside this thread or by pm.
off topic
thanks admin for the morre mb upload !!

 

[rodos]

@Tenerife Tv
I would class rodos as being on/off the bottom of the footprint.
Astra 2D some Tps not receivable
Astra 1N no Tps receivable
Astra 2F lets wait and see

This is what i am getting.

This is very similar to my reception yesteday.
I'm wondering about three things at the moment:
1. Is the Beam centered during the day or is it beeing moved around for measurement purposes?
2. How much are the TPs close by degrading reception?
3. Hopefully the Horizontal TPs are the worst - and the Vertical will be significantly stronger.

Thanks for another interesting report! Drastic how the signal suddenly dies around 1800 hrs. I wonder if the Humax boxes just report 0% when the signal drops below a certain level? Have seen weakish signals fluctuate between showing around 50% then immediately 0% on the Humax before.

I see Gonzobaby in a post further down believes the beam is shifting westwards during the course of the day. Is such a drastic move to be expected when the satellite is in service?

I still wonder how the signal is in Shetland and the Northern Isles. Being part of the UK, they must have guaranteed, reliable 60cm coverage in bad weather (Sky Zone 2), which I would hope would leave us with a bit of signal in Bergen all day round!

May i ask which label your 4.5m is of ? PFA or Cassegrain type ?
Do you also see a fluctuation watching it on 24h basis ? If so when do you see its maximum and minimum ? Is latter covered by your 4.5m or does it lose lock ?

And further on i am very interested in if you have any signal on 1N UK Beam frequencies as well, which lock at which time slot and which are always below lock threshold, generally speaking their signal depending on time. This for having a comparison to what will be coming up the next couple of weeks.

Best regards.

@deep blue sky

4.5M not sure of label as its not at my location, only watched the signal for about 20 minutes so cant comment in detail over long time period. Astra 1N Uk beam is not receivable no lock at anytime of day, Will be difficult to monitor 4.5m as only daytime access until summer.

Sorry I cant be of more help.

Will try and post more details were possible as things change.

Perfect. Let me know where you are so I can test with a meter
If that is OK. Only 15 mins from Los Gigs.
