Astra 2F: Central & East Europe Discussion

[Lazarus]

Holding Thread for Region specific debate.

 

[Lazarus]

As promised, now Open for use.

No Transition from 1N to 2F yet, but clearly it's imminent.

Speculation to remain in the existing Hot Thread, please.

Otherwise - carry on!

Poznan, 200 cm offset, 11023H Level78% Quality 66% - worth to mention that 2 days ago there wasn't any signal at all ! No changes made in setup.

another crushing report from a friend of mine from the hungarian/austrian border (town called sopron) - 240cm andrews dish - no signal at all on 11023H, while 100% reception of 1N

 

[ukt]

Reports from the Czech Republic:

So far a lot of people with 80cm-1m dishes in Prague are reporting they are getting 0% strength/quality on 2F 11023H, with 80-85% signal quality still on 1N.

Previously, you needed a 1.8m+ to get 24/7 coverage on the UK beam of 2D.

I am not sure if this is the right thread to post, anyway...

Although I have none of those frequencies locked with my 1.10m dish, it is the first time I can see frequencies from this (spot) range here on the spectrum. Something it was not possible before, either with 1N or 1D. A wild estimate is that with a 2.4m dish there may be a lock here...

Here are two graphs, before (2/11/2012) and today

 

[Lazarus]

Yep. Right Thread.

Keeping the number of Threads down and also bearing in mind the Title has to be short and punchy.

It'll settle down soon as regulars like yourself contribute, and any strays the Mods will shift accordingly.

Prague 50°0'23.883"N, 14°29'22.697"E
All migrated frequencies OK here

I am glum...

Maranello. Northern Italy. 0%/0% on CH5. "No signal" displayed both on Foxsat and Sky HD box.
I'm running 120cm Triax solid dish (tweaked for 2B, not 1N) and Black Ultra Quad.

Heavy cloud cover at the moment and looks like it's going to snow.

Anyway, at the weekend I'l get up on the roof and see what I can do with alignment... Not hopeful...

with hirschmann 120, BIU, dreambox 8k

11052 H (ITV 1 +1) appr. 6 db on early morning with artefacts, same on afternoon. from appr. 6 pm signal falls to 2,5 to 4 db and no picture anymore.

10964 H and 11126 V (C5 and C4 HD trps) early morning and afternoon appr. 2,5 - 4 db no picture, from appr. 6 pm signal falls to 2,2 bis 2,9 db.

so there is a little hope that with 150 or maximum 180 cm is anything possible, so we have to wait and see how strong or less strong the bee´s will be.
