    Astra 2G at 28.2E: General Discussion

    In fact it is. Your guess is completely correct. I can also easily lock a signal with my small 1m dish on transponder 11555 SR34285. It is an encrypted data carrier for Middle East coming from ASTRA 2E not 2G. By the way, with my 1.70 offset dish I've recently been able to lock signal on some of...

    Astra 1N at 19.2E

    Good morning to All. The transponder 11612 H 22000 FEC 5/6 has been moved from 1KR to ASTRA 1M Widebeam. As well as 12032 H 27500 FEC 3/4 has been transferred to ASTRA 1M Europebeam (NOT Widebeam). I know it for sure: there can't be any speculation, because the very structure of ASTRA 1M...

    Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 1

    I agree with You, because there is absolutely no need in such kind of interchangeability Why not? 2E can practically cover the whole Ku-band range except the vast part of band A (only from 11360-11450> 90MHZ) and it has got 60 ku tansponders . Moreover, it can fully take over the whole BSS...

    Astra 2E: Testing at 43.5E

    Fabulously high & strong signal strength reaching 15+db on transponder 11030V here in Yerevan (South Caucasus region). Meanwhile no trace of signal on any other reported transponder, although on 11532 there is a very poor, hardly lockable hint of analog carrier presence. According to my line of...

    Astra 2E launch may be delayed (Proton M Launch Failure: Merged)

    Not at all, at least for us. I understand that You are concerned with the possibility of ongoing reception from temporary located satellites' beams at this orbital position, but, instead, we are anxiously looking forward to seeing more french-, spanish- and german- speaking channels transmitted...

    Astra 2F: European Beam Transfers Starting?

    The transponder 12012 V 29500 FEC 3/4, which used to be on 2B North beam, has been definitely moved to 2A North beam. The reason for such conclusion is that, although it seems unbelievable, both the 2A & 2B North beams are lockable here in Yerevan (South Caucasus). Currently I manage to receive...

    Astra 2F Testing Reception Reports

    Thxs for info. I also tracked that frequency with an amazing strength and it seems that currently it has shifted to its classical value of 12266 H which is inherent to ASTRA satellites' frequency plan. But while I was replying the test carrier has been switched off. Can someone else confirm the...

    Astra 2F Testing Reception Reports

    Good evening, dear All. I was also following the recent developments regarding testing activities on ASTRA 2F here in Yerevan, Armenia (eastern neighbour of Turkey). Yesterday the following 4 transponders were being tested and I managed to lock them with a fabulous, incredibly high strength...

    Dish size for 40 dBW

    Could you, please, specify, where exactly you're residing at the moment because "Middle East" is a very loose concept? Sometimes Armenia is also referred to as a part of this region although we are somewhere between Europe and the Middle East. This satellite is one of the most popular among...

    Astra 1M europe beam power increased ?

    You are completely right. My name is Narek and I live in the capital of neighbouring country, Armenia. I've also noticed significant raise of signal quality on some of ASTRA 1M Europebeam and ASTRA 1H transponders. On a commonly used standard 1m and 5cm offset dish I also manage to get 10832 H...

    Astra german Channels,in Dubai,with a 5 meter dish posible?

    Hi, dear All. My name is Narek and I live in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia which is situated between Turkey and I.R. of Iran. With a 1m and 5cm sat. dish and standard Openbox X-800 receiver I can easily and fully receive ASTRA 4A (Europe beam) at 4.8 E - almost all transponders show 100%...
