Astra 2G Launch: December 2014

[william-1]

Not even trying to lock here

I am only 59% quality with my 104cm dish with the Astra 4A feed you should be ok on the 19.2 east feed when it goes live,

Still looking for the HD feed checked out 28.5E 23.5E 19.2 E 7E 4.8 E no sign of it so far.

 

[statalite]

Do they ever provide the feeds in HD?

Think my question has already been awnsered, as in yes if you can find it

 

[william-1]

I thought they did last time the SD feed on 19.2 east may change to HD.

The 19.2e one should change to HD when they change it from the SES logo if I remember from last launch.

Last nights Russian launch had Baikonur_1 and Baikonur_2 under the 12712H freq on 4.8E. Im wondering if the Baikonur_1 is the HD feed which may appear later.

It's FTA now, but with no so good quality picture.

1 hour & 10 min before they start the HD transmission.

Some cracking tunes have replaced the Eurovision testcard.


The lack of HD feed on 4.8e makes me wonder if 19.2 feed will just have HD hosts talking and the SD feed we're seeing on 4.8

 

[william-1]

Launch window opens in 47 min

4.8e feed is now horrifically bad signal.
