[QUOTE="M60, post: 789484, member: 376177"] I'd say SES have the upper hand there, it depends on what agreement they've come to with the Beeb and whether 2D is being moved before 2F arrives. It could be that they've offloaded most of the transponders to save power and it will remain as a backup but the BBC could disappear this week and it be moving somewhere by this time next week! Satellite broadcasting is very secretive and the big operators don't give much away. I can certainly see why the uplink providers may want to get their services (ITV and C4 etc) on to 1N as it means they are not duplicating uplink antennas at the Earth Station and future additions on to 1N Transponder-wise can simply be combined in to the existing waveguide combining systems before uplink.
