[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 918697, member: 196043"] There is possibly one very small minor positive in losing the very strong north beam from Astra 2A for me, I seem to have gained a bit of signal in the lower band where a corresponding north beam was in the higher band. eg. 11222H was always quite weak but since 2A was switched off it's gone up from 4-5dB to over 7dB. 11388H has also gone up by 3dB. It was discussed on the Finnish satellite forum that there could be interference between the bands from corresponding frequencies that are only seen when mixing very high and low signal levels together. Freq - LNB LO = LNB IF 11222 - 9750 = 1472MHz 12070 - 10600 = 1470MHz (12070H was a strong north beam transponder) 11388 - 9750 = 1638MHz 12226 - 10600 = 1626MHz (12226H was a strong north beam transponder) Coincidence? Of course 28A will be switched off soon too, so I expect any "benefit" to be short lived. [/QUOTE]
