all interesting stuff going to move to restricted beam...
But what will be Thor 5 use then? move to another position?
There is still 2 HD transponders left on the Thor5 T2 beam and all the transponders of the Thor5 T1 Nordic beam is occupied. There is also DVB-S transponders active on Thor5 T2 beam.
UPC is moving from 19.2E to 0.8w and will need 7 transponders from day one.
The three HD transponders moving from Thor5 T2 to Thor6 T1 seems only to carry HD channel versions that is intended for Scandinavian market only.
UPC will probably use the Thor6 K2 beam. This beam do not cover Scandinavia and can not be used by Canal Digital Nordics. Thor5 T2 transponders also covers the UPC aerea (central & eastern Europe). . I guess Thor5 T2 will mainly be used for TV channels that require European coverage. Some of the HDTV channels like History HD,Discovery HD and Animal Planet HD on Thor5 T2 seems to be intended for central and eastern Europe too (subtitles and audio languages for CEE).
