I may be hopelessly confused, but looking at Telstar 12 Frequency Plan that was published by another poster it looks like the Med Central S3 uses the same spectrum that the North Sea S1 uses. Lyngsat does not show any active transponders with overlapping or closely adjacent frequencies, but...

I guess the footprint of the interfering spot may be more relevant here than the distance from the North Sea spot.

I am located in the Canaries and after a survey of the dish it looks like I have my work cut out. After 10 years of salty sea air the Channel Master 2.4 has weathered quite well, but can’t say the same for the LNB: all fixings brittle rust and the connectors all caked in some form of oxide. Even...

Thanks analoguesat. I think I will go and do a survey to see what condition the 2.4M dish is near me is. Telesat’s own brochure seems to give a glimmer of hope as it shows 50db down at the tip of Portugal on “North Sea”, so I guess the signal gradient from there will be key. I got mislead by...

Does anyone have any insights in regard to fringe reception of Telstar 15w Euro Spot 1? Specifically here in the Canaries (29N 13.5W) - we have a number of old 2.4m dishes sitting around from the old Astra 2 chasing days and I wondered if it was worth getting the PlusGas out?

No signal here in the Canaries ATM - anyone else? Was Ok a couple of hours or so ago.

Seems to have recovered a bit today - roughly as it was before it dropped. Seems to be like what we saw in mid May where it dropped for a few days then returned. Maybe it is part of the realignment process with the MEV?

Here in the eastern Canarias the signal is well down and showing the strengths and weaknesses of various tuners/dishes where I live. Our communal system has what I think is 1.1 metre dish with old Technomate 5200s and is suffering intermittent lock ups, although the boxes are showing 71%. My...

Looks like it's official - earlier than we had thought also: Latest PR

Ahh I see... Ok just the European beam then. I would be interested in what the final conclusion was in regard to the UK spot - whether it is fully receivable on 2.7 or 2.4m dishes in the Eastern Canaries and whether the position had improved from Astra 2E. I think Fringe is saying some then...

Can I just confirm the dish sizes that you are using as the implications of the above are highly significant: are you saying that all the transponders implied by Timo's post above are receivable on a) a 1.2M or b) failing that a 2.7M in the Eastern Canaries? 10994H is of particular interest for...

Thanks Analoguesat - I guess I will have to find another excuse to get out on the roof in the sunshine with my new sat meter :-)

From the earlier post by analoguesat I assume these are still encrypted? Just thought it worth asking as I had been toying with adding another LNB to one of my dishes with this in mind. TIA Rob

Thanks Kota - save me looking for other issues.

Can I confirm PMT scrambled at moment - ie Enigma2 boxes not clearing?
