Astra 2E is now in a testing orbit at 43.5 degrees. There have been some activity (test signals but not channels) and I have been able to detect a signal using a 1.9m dish - the signals are weak (as with Astra 2F) and I've yet to compare them but at least there is a signal.

Update:
The signal strength from 2E seems to be about the same as Astra 2F so the mínimum dish size will be 1.9m
