Could you include BBC Radios 1, 3, 6 Music, BBC 7, 1xtra,.... as part of your pan-european package in the future? There's a substantial interest in those among the european expats. It shouldn't be hard given that the transmissions will be encrypted.

Any chance they switch radios over to 2A and put the HD output on 2D (programe rights problems) when they finish testing?

What abou BBC Radio 1-4? Is there a plan to include them too?

Does that mean you'll be able to watch BBC1 and BBC2 in HD anywhere in Europe if you have HD receiver?

Let's just say, if any of BBC leased transponders breaks down and they would be forced to shift to 2C, I would be a very happy man. Especially horizontal ones....give us all of BBC Radio back!

Well, they shouldn't have bothered replacing Radio 2 and 4FM in the first place.But they did it after all. Why are those better than Radio 1 and 3?Or should I ask:why skip Radio 1 and 3?

the BBC bring back Radios 1 and 3 to transponder 38 on Astra 2B and exchange them with BBCi channels currently there.Are there any restrictions?Wouldn't cause any technical problems I suppose...

Well, my receiver brands the signal on both of these frequencies as free to air but obviously it isn't. You can wait as long as you can after thursday a fortnight ago but you couldn't get any noise coming out. It's the distribution feeds for the BBC dtt.The multiplex carries 12-14 TV channels...

No.Both frequencies are on Europe beam but the signal is encrypted unfortunately!

Hi! Just to report about the unusual 2D footprint patterns I'm currently expiriencing.The signals from vertical transponders loud and clear from 9 am till midnight.Then they disappear but then the horizontal start to appear only to disappear around 9 am to be replaced with vertical.Why such a...

Well, for 2 months they let us enjoy.Now it is really encrypted.The signal still there but without the sound.Shame!

False alarm guys, I'm afraid.I'm in the middle of the footprint and trying to pick it up but I can't.The signal is very strong and I'm picking up everything else listed on lyngsat for eutelsat w2 on 16 East.There is no trace of Radios 1-4.Maybe those are some BBC feeds...

Well, the thing is I didn't find any link on Laminas' web site advertising feedhorns suitable for their 2.7m offset dish.Is there some link or e-mail address to contact someone from Laminas directly? Thanks in advance.

Could you be more specific, longridge, please.I'm planning to put up the same dish any day now, so the feedhorn problem is very crucial to me.Does that mean that the prime focus invacom feedhorn would cover the most of the 2.7 m offset dish?Or are there some specific changes that have to be made...
