Dear me now that website says 2E is at 28.6169, is that the reason behind the recent worsening of the signal? I know other people in my area have had crap signal too lately so it's not just my set up, is Astra 2E moving? Is it temporary flotation of some sort?

Or in my case, it improves during the spring equinox and fades out again... :mad:

Yes, now the UK beam is very strong and less variations. 24/7 reception now...
 
All transponders on Astra 2E 10700 to 10936 just switched off for approx 90 sec back now ?
 
Not 10773H. Have had it on for several hours.
 
Hi has anyone noticed the drop in signal on bbc & itv in the last few days especially yesterday afternoon, ive had a few calls , just wondered if anyone else had noticed.
 
Yes, quite low!!

2E UK down here too for some days. Already weak evening levels even weaker, my Inverto ultra quad blacking out, tried a cheap Maximum x0-11 single, which somehow upped the quality levels enough to keep a picture.

2E UK beam considerably weaker here since at least a week, I lose most channels in the evening.
 
very strong today though
 
2G is still on a wobble. Will be coming back now. 2E 27/7 at the moment.
 
28.2E-RFScan43.webp 2E spot TPs very weak tonight, only 8dB with a 240cm channel master. I think I havent seen them that weak before must be some special event.

btw I have to de activate the flash plugin to be able to upload...

^^^ same, everything 2e uk black screen this evening, even 10906 v & 11387 H which usually survives here when others go down.

Looks like it'll be Top Gear in LD (low definition) on Filmon tonight.
 
also heavy thunder clouds right now... 11023H making problems from time to time so we went to bbc 4 sd to watch proms...
 
Everything came sliding back from around 24.00. This was one major level dip.
 
Same here last night, only ITV Granda SD and Channel4 +1 remainig. Must Setup again soon.
 
both 2E and 2G spots very strong today 2E even is working with a 90cm here right now... 120cm for 2G.

If of interest, very good here as well for some days. 2F up as well. After the collapse the 19th, all came back strong as h**l, didn't touch dish or lnb, and nothing special regarding weather.
 
scaning receiver afternoon
we receive very low signal or 2e or 2f
after 15 minute only
with 4.6m
