Anyone else lost 16 degrees east Eut*****??

[tommo1]

Hello,
Like Rabby I am pulling my hair out here, have not bothered much with this sat of late,
but was pulling in strong signal on Hotbird,Astra 1 and Eut***** 16%, only to find now
no signal with eut*****, have they done something or what??

I have tried manually moving dish eastwards from hotbird and westwards from Astra 1,but nothing.

So my question is whats going on,anyone know?

plenty of forum posts regarding the changes on 16 east last week

not sure how you missed them as there were several prominent threads about it

the point being they switched the old sats off and are now using a brand new one at the same location

suggest you do some reading and check new transponders etc

its the lack of research holding you back now as this subject has been discussed many times in the last 12 months since the previous replacement satellite failed to boost to the position a year ago , a clear case of reading the forums more often , especially with such massive changes taking place on 7w and 16e
