Maybe now they've taken the decision that 2A is at the point whereby it's reliability is compromised so reducing it's TP loading down is the best compromise whilst it can be retained as backup either at 28 or 23.5E.Once 2G is in use I definitely think, as Timo says, that it may be used more for it's UK spot. I also wonder whether some of the 2E 'D' band TP's might be offloaded to 2G to balance up loading across the three birds? Sky may be keen to put some of their TP's on to the PE antenna of 2G too to keep the expats happy if it's got better Eastern Mediterranean coverage, for yet we don't really know.June/July could prove to be interesting to see what ends up where.</blockquote>
