Astra 2E at 28.2E: General Discussion Part 1

[M60]

@satesco: could that be a feed for Sky Anytime or such an on demand service?

Sky hardware can't support this modulation from what I'm aware of.

 

[Pietclock]

11007V is the strongest of all 28.2° transponders here ! 18.1 dB

11.186V - 17.8dB
11.464H -16.5dB
11.479V -16.6dB
12.441V -17.5dB
(with 125cm)
5 data (ACM) transponders in total there right now.

@M60 's right,to read data streams in mode ACM 16 APSK & 32 APSK you need dedicated /professionals receivers/demodulators.In no case with commercial receivers , as is the skybox.

 

[Pietclock]

Maybe a service for hotels with professional head ends ?

 

[solly]

today tle update astra 2e 28.32 e

Oh goody: A lethargic snail is quicker than my Landline ADSL!

Nothing here on a 1.2m dish :-(

What we really need is a live channel transmitting transponder to light up on 2E on whatever beam, then we can take it from there.
Not these ephemeral signals that cannot be read on a normal stb.

Just my opinion ;)

Such reports from Live Channels will of course be made in the Regional Threads provided for exactly that purpose

ITV1 HD London....Seems to be on Two frequencies....10832..H..22000...5/6.....and 11096...V...23000...2/3......maybe the test version will move tonight,,,?

test channel id...21000

 

[Pietclock]

Why ? It is on 2F already, no need to move.

Maybe tomorrow?

 

[satesco]

Even though today was activated transponder-12441 V, I wonder if he really is from Astra 2E?In fact this transponder was used before,as you know!Why this transponder was placed here when there are also others at this position ?In my opinion,I might get wrong,I think that with the activation of 12441 V, Astra will give up its two sub-band data transponders that have European spot and which are now on the Astra 2F.It is the first step that SES makes before transferring transponders on Astra 2E?What do you think?

Agree

But we need to know what were looking for first

the 12441v now from astra 2a south beam active
not transfeld yet to 2e

 

[cazhh]

that's how it looks from here:



If it's 2a south beam, it's considerably weaker than the others, if lyngsat is correct. It's more in line with the 2F PE Beam ones.

Edit: Any idea what 11538V, 11569V, 11521H and 11552H are ?

There is no signal on 12441 V here in Gran Canaria. If it is a European beam then it must be 2A North or 1N.

12441v stop modulation 16apsk

 

[dvdfilm]

This time the bbc didn't advise on a specific date for the switchover,differently from previous satellites.
Strange because these transfers usually require interruption of services for some time at night
