Astra 1N tests - latest chat

No signal here for 11171 I tried SR 22000 and 23000.

No signal for 11171 here either.

11165,H,1000 is still on (7.9dB here), nothing at 11171,H,22000.

 

[Coviello]

Location: 40.38 N. 15.48 E (Potenza, Basilicata, Italy).
Aerial Size: 3.4m (Prodelin).
10964 H
Digital Lock: Yes. signal quality 98% (ProgDV
Stable picture: Yes.
Time:14.30 Local Time.
Same location
Aerial Size: 1.5m (locally made prime focus dish with INVACOM lnb).
10965 H
Digital Lock: Yes (ProgDV signal quality 98% (ProgDV
Time:19.00 Local Time.

The above value is the same as that of 11778 V.

Why would anyone want to watch a programme just because the audio is a bit better??

I think it is the opposite. For example once I started watching tv in HD, even if a program is good I sometimes don't fancy watching just because it is SD. But there's nothing going to persuade my to start watching Jeremy Kyle just because it's in HD.

Up date:
Signal quality of 10965 H went down to 80% in 1.50cm dish, but is constant (98%) in 3.40 dish.

We have talked a bit about frequency reuse etc and what it means to expats like me.I just researched a horrible vision from the past and that is the failed Astra 1K. Does anyone think they could revisit this potential evil???

Well the thing is that satellite never went into service so any truth or myth related to it is all circumspect.

Already have - Astra 1KR ;)


This has a Polish spotbeam which was tetsed for a few months a couple of years ago, although only on one frequency.

 

[welshman234]

I read frequency reuse between the spotbeams was to be used ie if you live in no mans land between the 2 spotbeams you`d get nothing as the frequencies would cause some degree of interference or whatever...but I agree its perhaps only mythical now...

SorryA nalogusat I posted my last post above without reading your post on 1KR

 

[Analoguesat]

Sadly it can only increase in the future as the operators seek to maximise efficient use of frequency spectrum as demand continues to rise.

 

[welshman234]

This is slightly off topic but has anybody managed to get the Polish spotbeam in the UK or Spain ??? Astra 1KR seems to me to be one that SES could try and replicate for 2F E and G.I have read that it has been difficult to receive even In Berlin on a 120cm dish....

Good grief no - it was problematic in western Germany!

Its not been active for ages so cant be tested now.

 

[solly]

the astra 1kr spot beam receiver 4.5m few hour in tel aviv after that signal gone

Astra 1KR Polish Tp.59 - 10862H/22000 - 84-88% SQuality in Varna(Bulgaria) with 1.2m now.
P.S.:

 

[welshman234]

Hmm so 1Kr is probably the tightest spotbeam in Europe theres been, even though its not active anymore............... A 1KR type spotbeam aplied to the Uk would be about the best technology could currently allow I guess

If the Polish spot beam isnt active, how has popovp got a lock and channels from it? I`m confused lol

[EDIT]
Re-read popovps post again and posted below lol ignore the above

What spotbeam. They are not using that beam anymore. I get this frequency here on Portugal with strong signal. So can't be a spotbeam.

Sorry yes my bad, I have just re-read it and it doesnt mention a spot it mentions a transponder lol
