Good stuff.

I thought they'd been required to scale back these "back-door Channels?"

 

[william-1]

Apparently not this may be just a seasonal lease for a few months.

 

[Lazarus]

Quite possibly.

Anyhow, I've got them scanned in and suitably relabelled, all ready to go.

Whereas all other 28°E transponders, be it Europe or UK beam, have 12...15 dB on my T-55, this one only has a meager 8 dB...
It's enough of course with DVB-S 2/3, but less than I've ever seen.

Argh... 2F uk !

Similar problem here, but even worse.

I think part of the plan was to have them part time for events like the Olympics.

• Wimbledon 27 June - 10 July on the Red Button Ch 980-981-982-983-984-985-986 on FreeSat

^^^ Looking forward to W. 2f uk... down to 3.3 db in evenings even with the 180cm, but still stable reception!

 

[Archive4]

Hate to be a killjoy, but a static frame will have much less of a problem than a live broadcast with fast moving balls! Don´t think 3.3 dB will cut it

 

[4wd]

^^^ it does work well below 4 db ! even the red hd. Quite unique behaviour, hopefully will stay that way.

 

[william-1]

I set my motion flow to High on the Sony tv for all ball games works just fine.

Just checked these out, and it´s good news for anyone round here who likes the Olympic Games. Signal is at least equal to and in some cases about 1.2 dB stronger than BBC South on 10818 V

 

[Archive4]

The streams have been re-named BBC Olmp 1 HD to 8 HD
They are also now showing on Freesat 271 - 278

But they are 8PSK so require almost 2dB SNR more.
