10891H, ITV1+1, Signal 83, Quality 75
10714H, Channel 4, Signal 85, Quality 80
Both work with my 180cm Prodelin

Check the levels on 10714H and 10891H if you can get a lock, those two are weak in Stockholm, i can't get lock on those two, the other transponders from 1N i can get lock on today.

let's bid Farewell to Astra 2D...

Any suggestions what will happen with the old bird? SES has published a satellite plan for the end of 2012/2013 and the Astra 2D is gone in that map while the Astra 3A and even the older Astra 1C is still there.

BBC channels coming in nice and strong here in Hanover... according to my Technisat SD receiver, the signal levels have even increased. BBC Four on 2D used to be at around 4.5 to 5 dB, now registering at 6.8 to 7 dB.

Interesting that Stockholm has apparently lost the signal (at least with a 1.2m dish), while here in northern central Germany, 1N is coming in notably stronger than 2D... longitude wise, Stockholm is only about 300 miles east of Hanover... which again goes to show the steeper signal cutoff and reduced overspill of 1N compared to 2D...

This may also not bode well for 2F... Hanover is pretty exactly 350 miles east of Norwich... England's easternmost area...

interesting that 2a and 2b are goign to 19.2 and 23.5

 

[andrewcrawford]

[marac]

I think there was a bit of a hot spot over Stockholm with 2D giving them a stronger than usual signal.

1H is missing as well. When and in which pdf has this chart been published ?

 

[Javiervallestero]

Hi all,

I'm a new member here. I'm writing to inform you that all the British channels can be easily received now in southern Spain. My dish is just 85 cms big and I'm getting about 72% quality.

 

[Djskutz]

Wish they would increase the footprint of Astra4a like this one

1H is missing as well. When and in which pdf has this chart been published ?

I got the map from _www.satelliteforum.com and the original source is _www.sat-digest.com and _www.parabola.cz
