    Astra 2E: Iberia & Balearics Reports

    Here in 'Fringe land' I'm definitely seeing variations - for example the lower frequencies (below 10818) were impossible to view due to breakup after approximately 8pm. Last night no breakup at all, even the HD channels were perfect. As it is unlikely there are changes in power output there has...

    Astra 2E: Iberia & Balearics Reports

    Last dish I installed was in November 2012. Will be starting again tomorrow or Monday - 21 dishes on route from Benidorm as I write . Happy days!

    It fell of the van :-ohmy Fortunately its only the edge that got damaged. It hasn't made any difference to the results obtained.

    As predicted, ITV and C4 etc. gone from Southern (and I guess all) Cataluña.

    Astra 2E: Iberia & Balearics Reports

    Yes, personally. I went out mobile (not easy!) on Thursday with a 1.9M Famaval dish testing in various places around the area and taking measurements (I have a Promax Sathunter) and also plugging in a TV to a generic satellite receiver and I was amazed to experience this in such a short distance.

    Astra 2E: Iberia & Balearics Reports

    Extremely unlikely. I'm probably as near to you as you are going to get any sort of reception (if that makes sense). North of Tortosa there is a huge drop off of signal. I don't know how far north it would be possible to receive a signal but judging by my tests I doubt it will get as far as...

    Impressive, you should commercialise it.

    Just got emailed these 2 pictures - seem to be pretty much on the nose for how things have turned out.

    What software do you use for the 24h signal level measuring? I would like to run a scan here over 24h.

    Get a bigger dish and sorted. If you have an 85cm (says on your profile) you won't get much and certainly not BBC or ITV when it goes but with a 1.2 for example I would have thought you would be fine - someone nearer can verify but you're not in a black hole like here in the north.

    Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 2

    Reception in Southern Cataluña 'Fringe land' is as expected. Nothing on a 1.2M dish anywhere. 1.9 is ok to just north of Xerta then 2.4 is needed until at least Ginestar where 2F will lock but not 2E. In Mora (9Km away) nothing on either. In Tres Cales north of L'Ametlla de Mar 2E and 2F lock...

    Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 2

    Thanks - an interesting day ahead driving around the area with my 'mobile' 1.9M Famaval strapped to the roof of the van.. Should have more results later. When is Analoguesat starting up the 2E disaster (I mean reception reports) map?

    Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 2

    As predicted, here in southern Catalunya on a 1.2M dish BBC has gone :-caravan Scans show yesterday and today. I'll set up my 1.9 when it gets light and see if there is anything on that.

    Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 1

    Well, I'm about as fringe as it gets - within 30Km goes from 1.9 dish to 2.4 dish. Watch this space Thursday evening. If I lose channels on a 1.2 dish I'll be out mobile with a 1.9 testing so will have results then.

    Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 1

    Atmospherics or secondary effects of 2E being close by? I just got a call from a customer saying he was receiving C5 on an 1M dish with a SKY HD box - impossible here! We checked and he had 5* and 5USA as well.. I checked where I am (about 10K away and 1.2M dish) but nothing however I can...
