Astra 2E: Transit to 28.2E

[Pride Of Cucamonga]

You must be the only person who ever moved to Spain with a ready made Sky subscription and cancelled it! Most expats are paying £100s to dodgy companies to get overpriced access to Sky.

Good point - I've just cancelled my Sky here in VAlencia! - maybe i could sell it on?

So am I right in thinking that the EPOCH time was a true position of the satellite and that the 10 minute updates are predictive based on it's speed over the previous 24 hrs?

The EPOCH time was probably a real time position measurement and all progressive predictions of this bird are based on recent transition data.

So in answer to your question YES

 

[Acuario]

Surprised SKy use debt collectors as the amounts owed can't be that much - i.e. if someone doesn't pay they just cut them off and only lose a couple months of revenue. how much did you owe them?

It was a small fortune - all of £26.92

Well if you did it by mail then it's probably still active so sell it on!

Tracking info will now be misleading as the chart will not be updated correctly but Astra 2E will arrive @ 28.2 east approx 12:00 GMT any tracking info on movement west after this will be false info as the tracking is not in real time maybe one day it will be

 

[Huevos]

Should be before 10am.

 

[skomedal]

Should be before 10am.

Power cuts and acts of god taken into consideration

Question for the people tracking the beacon,is it already at the Eurobird position?

 

[Lazarus]

Ok: We'll keep this Topic open until tomorrow morning, then close it so there's an orderly transition to the new Thread

Goodnight all, and may your wishes come true.

Probably even closer to 28.2E now...

 

[Llew]

A last beacon check on this thread. 2E Ka beacon most likely at ~ 28.4E given solly's update earlier putting it at 28.6E. My dish Triax 88 is not easily able to distinguish between 28.2E and 28.5E, so this will probably be my last beacon reading for 2E (unless she decides to carry on past 28.2E )
