I took my 1.2 Gib down during the Spring of last year while we had the roof replaced, since then it's been sat in the shed awaiting a service. The 1.8 is still in place but I've not used it for over a year as I couldn't get much to lock on it and I've not had the time to go through the possibilities. The 2.4 is in the shed but is only ever a temporary affair and for the last few years there's been no time to play with that one.
So my New Year resolution is to get everything back up and running as it should be but even though I dip into the forum each day I rarely see any posts regarding current channels or feeds so it's left me wondering if this hobby is dying with the ease of IP links, tight footprints and encryption? I notice the fastsatfinder site hasn't been updated since November 2019 so are there other sites that offer up to date transponder lists?
Who's doing what on Ku and C Band these days, is it just a case of not bothering to post here anymore or is there a lot less interesting stuff about to report?
