Its easy to miss bites of useful info when things are developing fast and the thread spans multiple pages in a couple of days.

The interactive app at -http://apps.ses.com/# shows 1N at 28.2ºE but does not recognise the UK spot beam. It shows only the two pan-european beams. Is the spot beam an invention for marketing purposes only ?

No - we have seen enough evidence that there is a restricted beam in use even just on the reports we have been getting from the folks on this forum.

Their box hasnt picked up the epg stream change for some reason and its still getting the widebeam version. It'll probably pick the change up overnight.

are they using a sky box?
they could be using a non sky box that is able to read a sky card (oe CS) and is still looking at the old 12422h frequency , as the old frequencies are, at the moment, still active, and so by using a "non sky box" unaffected by todays remapping of the sky epg.

12422h wil be down from wide beam ?
how people in mideast can be get it ?

The Channel 5s on my parent's Sky box have gone today in Helsinki, Finland with a 1.8m dish that gets Astra 2D verticals.

Have your parents rescanned as per previous advice?

Lanzarote update

Yes I have had 11126 here on a 1.35 & have watched it but dropped out an hour later.
Very border line. Not a chance of the horizontals though. Will give more info tomorrow.
Ch5 & family definitely remapped to 1N as all gone here on 1.2/1.35M

Cheers trigger - not good for you but useful reception info.

I'll start a 1N Canaries thread so we can collate some info now things are starting to happen.

It's a standard Pace 2600C1, so there aren't any options to rescan, although she did reboot it as it locked up.

When I was last over there I tried to get 11127 V Ch4 HD on a HD box with no luck so wasn't expecting much with the horizontals either.
