[QUOTE="william-1, post: 826567, member: 193781"] Thanks for that info [URL="http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/user/176362-analoguesat/"]Analoguesat[/URL] Here is the possible sequence of events to follow @ 28.2 east Astra 2F is reported to not be able to cover 10700 to 10950 so we will probably have to wait for the launch of Astra 2E that covers 10.7 to 12.75GHz as does 2G, I still find it hard to believe that Astra 2F cannot cover these frequencies unless this was a part built Eurostar E3000 satellite meant for another location ? so may have been used to get the African service up & running quickly that it has done & by 27th November as scheduled, Next sequence of changes at 28 east transfer of transponders from Astra 1N to Astra 2F: 11.023 H, SR 23.000 FEC 2/3 DVB-S2 *PSK "8901" and "8911" (BBC 1 HD's) already there 10.964 H SR 22.000 FEC 5/6 (CH5/5USA/5*/Channel 5+1), 10.994 H SR 22.000 FEC 5/6 (ITV 1 Granada HD/ITV 1 Central South West SD/ITV 1 Anglia West SD/ITV 1 Meridian North SD/ITV 1 Yorkshire East SD/ITV 1+1 Yorkshire SD), 11.052 H SR 22.000 FEC 5/6 (ITV 1 Central South SD/ITV 1 Central East SD/ITV 1+1 Wales SD/ITV 1+1 Westcountry SD/ITV 1+1 Tyne Tees SD), 11.126 V SR 22.000 FEC 5/6 (Channel 4 HD/4Seven SD) Completed. The next part of the change over is dependent on the capability of Astra 2F to cover the Ku band below 10950 for the transfer of all transponders on Astra 1N if this is not possible then we will have to wait for Astra 2E launch in the 1st Qtr of 2013. Phase 2 4th Qtr 2012 will be the transfer of Astra 2B transponders to Astra 2F 11739 V 11876 H 11895 V 11954 H no transmissions atm 11973 V 11992 H 12012 V 12032 H 12110 H 12246 V 12304 H 12344 H 12402 V no transmissions atm 12441 V no transmissions atm 12480 V Astra 2B will then move to 19.2 east Phase 3 1st Qtr 2013 Astra 2E will then after a successful launch will replace Astra 1N @28.2 east Astra 1N will then move to 19.2 east Phase 4 1st Qtr of 2014 Astra 2G will replace Astra 2A & if allowed to the 3 satellites 2E,2F & 2G will cover the whole of the Ku band 10.7GHz to 12.75GHz @ 28.2 east.
