Re: Astra 2e

satellite operator SES activate transponders a new telecommunications satellite ASTRA 2E (28,2 ° E). he took some of the transponders of the satellite ASTRA 2A. thereby changed the degree of coverage in different parts of europe.

Re: Astra 2e

a comment from the popular "olive press" ex-pats magazine.
----------------------------------------------------------


AT half past four this morning, many British expats in southern Spain finally lost all BBC channels.

The BBC’s switch to a different satellite has been a hot topic of discussion in Southern Spain.

The new Astra 2E satellite will improve reception in the UK but, as shown in the map, its coverage doesn’t quite extend to the Costa del Sol.

The remaining channels are likely to be migrated to the UK spot beam tonight including all free channels from ITV and Channel 4.

Areas which have seen complete loss of BBC channels are Costa Del Sol, Andalucia, Gibraltar, Southern Portugal, much of Catalunya, the Canary Islands and also Italy.

Once migration is completed, satellite operator SES Astra is likely to make adjustments which could alter the quality of reception once more.

Olive Press readers have been getting in touch to express their disappointment at having lost all BBC TV and radio channels.
==============================================
also here is info on new spot beam 2e (with perhaps more adjustments on beam to come.)

==============================================
lets also not forget,
the new 28e, 2G satellite is launched, and in-service about July 2014. Maybe earlier.

Re: Astra 2e

Is BBC One Wales still on Astra 1N and still receivable today (I'm not at home so I can't check)? The hotel I stay at in the Canary Islands always used this as their BBC channel on the room tv service.

Re: Astra 2e

ITV,CH4 etc.. are now expected to shift to the new 2E satellite in the coming week also it looks like the remaining Sky channels will also be making there move at a similar time.

Reports now in that Eutelsat 28B which was located at 28.5° east is now on the move also expect Eutelsat 28A to move as well as Eutelsat reached an agreement with SES to rent transponder space on 2E for there Channels

All BBC channels are moved to the Astra 2E UK beam.
