Yes, Red Button works but I can't get BBC Four HD to work. I just get a 'no audio, no video' message and a black screen. Are they still emitting anything on Vpid 7601,Apid 7602,PPid 7601? I was away for the Olympics so I don't know if it would have worked before.Red button is back.
Perhaps some kind people can update me on dish sizes needed for Intelsat 27.5 deg W....?
Specifically what size might be needed near Perpignan (border of Spain and France, eastern end) and also in Alicante...?
I ask because when I tested the signal in mid France in 2015 I had no trouble getting it on a 60 cm dish - not really strong but certainly working 99% of the time. However in October 2016 when I tested it again the 60 cm dish really struggled to bring in the signal at all, and the slightest rain or thick cloud knocked it out. I seem to remember that others have observed that the signal doesn't seem as good as it used to be....
In my case in mid France the situation is academic as Astra 2E romps in, but I've been asked to advise for Perpignan and Alicante so hope some folk with local experience can give a bit of help.
Thanks!
Good evening
Is anyone able to see these channels using a cam?
I'm looking into programming a transmodulator to distribute the channels but would need a working cam.
Thanks

Alicante, easy on a 90cm dish. But why bother if you can receiver 28E on a 120cm dish.Perhaps some kind people can update me on dish sizes needed for Intelsat 27.5 deg W....?

The flootprint says for this Region a 80 cm dish should work. The high FEC with 9/10 is very sensitive. For me the Signal goes down 15 percent and more in bad weather. This Region is outside the 120 cm beam from Astra 2 Spotbeam.Perhaps some kind people can update me on dish sizes needed for Intelsat 27.5 deg W....?

Depends what part of Andalucia. Some of it is possible with a 1.8m dish but most of it is completely impossible even with a 2.4m.Thanks for the further input. I think that at both locations 120 cm dishes have been tried on Astra 2E and found wanting. But I am a twerp, I may have meant Andalucia which I believe is definitely not going to work on 120 cms for Astra 2E.
I'm afraid my geographical expertise is higher for France than it is for Spain.
But you've all told me what I need to know and so renewed thanks.
