Eutelsat 28A switchoff looming

[Analoguesat]

Tonight

11222H 105dB
11224V 10.6dB
11260V 12.2dB
11261V 11.7dB


60cm ex Sky analogue dish used for Sky digital for many years, TM5402.

11972 V appears to be a copy of 11680 V. From signal levels I'm assuming its Astra 2E europe

That'll be a temporary holding place for the channels before switching to 2G.

Channel 5 looks somewhat strange today...

105dB! Biggest signal on the planet!

-------------------------28.5east---28.2 east
------------------------Last night..Today's readings
11222 H 27500 2/3 = 10.4dB ---13.5dB
11224 V 27500 2/3 = 10.9dB ---13.8dB
11260 V 27500 2/3 = 11.8dB ---12.8dB
11261 H 27500 2/3 = 11.3dB----12.6dB

Signals are now stronger @ 28.2 east but not as much as expected ?

My dish in Buckinghamshire...

------------ = 2 weeks ago --- last week --- today
11222 H 27500 2/3 = 70% --- 66% --- 73%
11224 V 27500 2/3 = 69% --- 70% --- 73%
11260 V 27500 2/3 = 74% --- 75% --- 71%
11261 H 27500 2/3 = 64% --- 67% --- 73%

Centre of box table predicts that starting 17 June, the old inclined Astra 2D will leave 28.0°E, moving to the West 1° per day.

Centre of box table now shows Astra 2D is on its way to 5.2°E.
Will be there around 10 July.

So Astra 2A/2C will not move before that?

 

[timo_w2s]

11464 H 22000 5/6 QPSK DVB-S
11479 V 23000 8/9 QPSK DVB-S2
11509 V 22000 5/6 QPSK DVB-S

Getting all those, from signal levels in the UK my guess is UK spot?

These will be temporary moves off 28A while the D transponders are shut down.

It does not look they are needed in a hurry. Maybe they will stay as backups at 28E for a bit longer? I wonder if the data transponders will move to 2G?

Hi

11464H, 11479V and 11508V are definitely not on the UK spot, judging by my signal here.

Thanks, interesting as these signals are quite a bit stronger by about 8% than the new 2G Europe ones on 11.22-11.26GHz.

In the DVB tables...

11222 H -> 2311 TSID (that TSID is E28A)
11224 V -> 2106 TSID -> 17dB (that TSID is Astra)
11263 H -> 2301 TSID (that TSID is E28A)
11265 V -> 2108 TSID -> 17dB (that TSID is Astra)

So horizontals have not moved yet... and when they do the frequencies will change and go mid point between the verticals.

Beam is obviously Pan-European from that power level.

Could you be seeing a cached version or a different one from other reports?

11464 is a copy of 11584.
11509 is a copy of 11662.

I'm reading it direct from the DVB tables published by Sky UK on its home transponder (11778V). This is what a Sky box would use at switch-on.

I would never quote someone else's data. Only data that I have collected personally.

Agree, 96% quality here! New level record. That's a very strong eu beam.

Sorry I should have been more clear, I meant is there a possibility your system that reads the DVB tables could cache the data rather than see something that had recently been updated? This might be a silly question as I don't know how it reads it, but just asking as others have posted on another forum (DigitalSpy) that their Freesat box had updated some channel's frequencies and someone else posted that the NIT had changed on those frequencies. Perhaps this was from the Freesat EPG transponder rather then the Sky one? Could Sky just not have been as speedy with the updates. Given that it's just a couple of MHz out, I doubt many boxes would care if the centre frequency was out a tiny bit?
