Channel updates:
Some channels that had been moved to the Astra 2F UK beam have now been moved to the European beam meaning they can be received here on a 1.2M dish. You may need to add the transponder and do a transponder scan to get them though.

The channels are:
Al Jazeera English, Movies4Men, Movies4Men+1, More>Movies+1 (and a couple of others.
Frequency: 12633, Polarization: H, FEC: 5/6, SR: 22000

BT Sport1, BT Sport 2, ESPN (and a couple of others).
Frequency: 12515, Polarization: H, FEC: 5/6, SR: 22000

As you should be - do you have a SKY box or UK Freesat box or a generic satellite receiver? SKY and Freesat (ones from the UK) boxes auto update but generic satellite receivers don't so you need to rescan or add in the transponders manually.

They should be receivable on even smaller than 1M as they are on the pan-european beam. Originally they were put on the UK spot beam so couldn't be received here on the dishes the majority of people have but a couple of days later they were moved onto the pan-european beam (presumably BT Sport have European viewers and the thought of loosing revenue forced them to move).

By 1.2M I was really only referring to all the people who have 1.2M (the majority).

HI, I'm receiving Movies for Men & Movies For Men+1 with Amstrad Skydigibox
on an 80cm Dish in Gandesa.
Terry.

Not yet - it's still testing at 43.5 degrees.
We are almost at 3 weeks since launch so it won't be long before testing is completed and it's moved.

The Steel cage is 1M x 1M x 0.5M deep. You'll need space behind the mount, min 30cm and 85cm in front. The total width is 1.95M. There shouldn't be a need for Steel guy wires. The height from the floor with base included is just under 2M.

I am compiling a list of people who want a dish - it's not a commitment other than 'I'm on the list so will get one from the first batch'.

The day of the change I will be testing with my dish to determine more exactly what is needed where and anyone on the list will be able to commit or not and pay a deposit - I can only get a certain number at once due to logistics of transport, storage etc. I currently have 14 on the list.

If anyone wants to be added then please let me know.

It appears that the testing on Astra 2E has been completed and that the satellite is now being moved to its operating position, 28.2 degrees.

Sky have said between 0100 and 0300 on 28th Nov there will be a brief outage of between 10-20 seconds for 80 channels, this may however be just coincidental and unrelated although they do have a number of channels on 1N that will need to be moved.

I am using filmon.com  on Android,good selection of channels ,but needs a strong signal to keep watching.
