Stormy weather. On your size dish it is more of a problem. The switch isn't going to happen until October.

It hasn't changed yet - still no confirmed dates but it is in testing and is in it's third week so I guess it will change in 3 - 5 weeks.

If it's not done before 15th December then it won't change until after Christmas as there is a freeze on changes during this period.

Five new HD channels start today. Freesat viewers do a re-scan to get them up.Sky viewers should have them appear in your EPG.The channels are....BBC Three HD, BBC Four HD, BBC News HD, CBBC HD, and Cbeebies HD.Sat 2E is still at 43 degrees so it looks like we will be "Safe" until after Christmas as Nigel states 15/12 is the "magic" day. 

Horrid Henry in HD ohhhhhh I can't wait.   Grin

Latest news today from SES the company that owns/deals with the various change over of channels which will effect us here in Spain.This email was sent to a Sat rigger in France who requested an update........

SES wrote: “As part of SES’ ongoing fleet renewal programme, we will be transferring all the UK Spot Beam transponders currently operating on ASTRA 1N across to ASTRA 2E. This move at the 28.2/28.5ºEast orbital location will take place over several weeks beginning early February 2014. The transfer will have no adverse implications for viewers in the UK and Ireland as the affected channels will continue to operate on the same frequencies and will be broadcast at the same, or slightly improved power levels, across the UK and Ireland. TV viewers outside the UK and Ireland may see an impact and may not be able to receive channels from ASTRA 2E UK Spot Beam, which has a smaller footprint than ASTRA 1N. The new footprint on SES’ replacement fleet has been designed to meet the requirements of UK and Irish broadcasters who target their channels for distribution in the UK and/or Ireland. UK and Irish broadcasters hold broadcasting rights only for the UK and/or Ireland but not for other countries.”

Your viewing over Christmas appears secure.

Thanks to Robs Sat tv for the info.

Sky of course will be using the Pan European Spot Beam which mean after change over We should be able to get most channels with a larger dish.The size of the dish should be about 150cm-180cm as these have been tested from outside the UK and picked up Sat 2F which mirrors the SAT 2E.So Nigel's new dishes should do the trick.We shall wait until the change over to see the actual impact on our dishes as various tweaks and adjustments to the spot beams are made after change over.

I just hope with the mad rush in 1.8m dishes being sold, that the price comes down !!! I cannot see why there is such a change in price from a 1.5- £300ish  to a 1.8  7-800ish ?

The ironic thing is they can cost no more than few quid to produce in numbers

More dishes here than a Peckham high rise. I am sure they will answer the pricing question.There is a lot of info on the page with advice and details re the various set up options. Aimed more to the UK but I am sure Europe as well as they offer a delivery service here.Too expensive for me but interesting re information.
