For anyone wanting to see input that really doesn't help, browse around here

There are no prizes for guessing who the protagonist is!

Something related to Tenerife?

 

[Lazarus]

Shhh. No names ......................




(Yes)

 

[sonnetpete]

Shame there are so many beginning "my cousin's girlfriend's brother has a mate who works in the office next to"....etc.

 

[FRINGE]

Not me .

 

[Schroeder]

Wonder who is winding him up?

Ah, yes, the winder-upper actually sounds as if he knows his stuff.


As for E***p*, the problem is that buried under the various unintelligible diatribes and incomprehensible asides might, just might, be elements of truth and reality. But they are lost in the general noise, which is a pity.

Well the 28 Nov is nigh: Are the alleged changes merely PID changes or is there going to be a wholesale move off 2A?

Is the C5 HD move connected to this?

 

[Lazarus]

Absolutely no idea, H.

Moving it to 2A is confusing my grey cells no end!

 

[M60]

2D has been parked up at 28.0°E for some time, so shouldn't be causing any over-crowding issues at 28.2°E.

Good point, forgot it had moved 0.2W some time back.

 

[Pietclock]

is the information about those mysterious changes tommorrow reliable or just another rumour?

 

[Schroeder]

Yes , odd to move it to 2A if they are going to move stuff off 2A unless it's just consolidation now the C5 HD is part of the Sky EE+.

Personally I'm not expecting to say goodbye to 2A just yet, but hey who knows (we will in the morning or soon afterwards).

Check out Lyngsat tomorrow they get their info direct from the operations room at SES, unlike others who use input from enthusiasts etc.

Yes






or No.

More 4 HD has also moved, from 12266H to 12324V (1N). I think this was just Sky clearing out a transponder that isn't needed any more now that they have five HD channels per transponder. 12266H is still broadcasting but it's got no channels on it. I suspect they'll switch it off soon.

Waveguide, any chance of a copy of your spreadsheet for pattern matching?

Waveguide, any chance of a copy of your spreadsheet for pattern matching?

Yes, off course you can have it!
It's just a table and a diagram where I fill in what I want to show in the diagram
Picked the data from kingofsat but got a much better link from "lvhd" yesterday that contains
everything.

I suppose I can't upload it on the forum?
Send me a private message with an email adress and you get it mucho pronto.

Could be an opening in the cloud cover here late tonight, I'm awake really late
anyway so I'll check After Midnight.

How many channels are on the 20 transponders on 2A? My guess is much more than 80.
