    6BBC & ITV CHANNEL LOSSES BEGIN
    Early reports from night owls and insomniacs across Europe indicate big losses of signal in the BBC and ITV Astra 2E narrow beam migration, which appears to have started at 1.30am GMT. One report from just west of Lisbon tells of a number of BBC & ITV channels disappearing. In Madrid and Southern Germany, signals are a fraction of what they were, probably not watchable on their owners' current dishes.
    Channel Five+24 was added to Freesat's EPG at 3.00am GMT. Boxes should have automatically re-tuned to receive the new channel.
    Yesterday BBC1&2HD and ITVHD was 93% SNR
    CHecked this morning and............................................... ................exactly the same
    So, no change in central France.

    Looks like only pay TV channels have moved at this time (to the widebeam?), I'm guessing the FTA (freeview) channels will move to the spotbeam next.
    As I said in my post there is still no problem in France and nearby. But the further away from France you are, the greater risk of losing the signal.
