Astra 2F reception and testing reports

[Larry-G]

UPDATE 22/1112 - Astra 2F - It is looking like the "BBC 1 HD" tests (channels named as 8901 and 8911) on 11.023 H, SR 23.000, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2 8PSK, are now on "Astra 2F, readers in Tenerife (2.9 m dish) and Bavarian Germany (1.2 m dish) are telling me that they cannot receive this frequency, South Sweden (1.2m dish) is telling me that this frequency has a reduced signal


UPDATE 22/1112 - Astra 2F - Rob is currently "investigating" but what I will say is that this is not the best day for testing, extreme weather conditions have just completely wiped out my 28 degrees east reception!

UPDATE 22/1112 - Astra 2F - Reports from The Costa Blanca, Spain are saying that on a 1 metre dish they cannot get this frequency but on a 1.85 metre they can get 11.023 H, SR 23.000, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2 8PSK frequency


UPDATE 22/1112 - Astra 2F - 11.023 H, SR 23.000, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2 8PSK ("BBC 1 HD" test channels named as 8901 and 8911) are quite possibly now on "Astra 2F", readers in Spain are telling me they are getting this frequency, readers in Porto,Portugal, North Rhine Westphalia, Germany, The South of France, Heidelberg, SW Germany are reporting a reduced signal, Northern Tuscany in Italy, Bergen in Norway has no signal, everyone is reporting that everything else from 1N is fine, this together with the earlier Tenerife (2.9 m dish) and Bavarian Germany (1.2 m dish) reports that they cannot receive this frequency and the earlier South Sweden (1.2m dish) telling me that this frequency has a reduced signal, I thank you all for your information (e-mail replies will be forthcoming soon), please keep your information coming regarding this and other Astra 1N frequencies, all this information is painting a very interesting picture and if this 11.023 H frequency is indeed coming from Astra 2F it also makes for very interesting reading, more coming soon

Ran a manual transponder check from Vejle Denmark and no reception at all but the Sat finder facility of my VU+ Duo shows SNR 15% AGR 97% for this frequency.
I'll wait til the weather improves and try again.
