No, won't be then, the following week early one morning at the earliest for the beginning of the migrations and suspect it will happen for different services over the course of a few nights.

2D -> 1N migration was on Monday night/Tuesday morning. All channels except BBC on 18/02/2012, and BBC on 25/02/2012. Before that major migrations were on Friday and Sunday Nights (3B, 1L, etc).

Didn't realise most major migrations at other locations were over a weekend. Did Sky's ex 2D TP's migrate on the 18/02/12 too? I seem to remember them going a tad earlier than all the others?

 

[Huevos]

Did Sky's ex 2D TP's migrate on the 18/02/12

Yes. There were band C migrations before that date (C5 for example), but 2D migrations were on the 18th and 25th.

 

[dvdfilm]

The question is whether 2E,once arrived,will activate a couple of tps first(as did 2F) for more testing,or the migration procedure will start straight away

 

[Lazarus]

It seems to me to be inconceivable that they would go straight into mass transfers without some testing first: It's a hostile environment up there in space and apart from the beacon and some telemetry, they cannot possibly know if all has remained well (ie No degradation or damage) without testing.

 

[M60]

Cheers Heuvos, the same migration plan can probably be expected again.

dvdfilm, I suspect that will be so for testing prior to mass migration. I think the new BBC 2F TP appeared a few days prior to other 1N C band migrations. 2F arrived 10 days before 1N's C band migration took place.

My thoughts exactly

Pig in a poke springs to mind

"" something that you buy or accept without first seeing it or knowing what it is like, with the result that it might not be what you want ""

 

[Lazarus]

Just so long as it isn't a poke in a pig. I'm not a Lib Dem.

Sooner or later they'll have to bite the bullet.

It looks like the Disney TP on 10862H is being cleared out as services are now duplicated on 11914H and their 1N spot TP is currently only half full anyway.

Maybe SES will use this TP for initial testing, even if only for a few days?

sky is probably moving their channels to a PE beam...

 

[Pietclock]

I think the first transponders to move will be the four data carriers.

I hope Cyprus is covered by it then!
