And now the news:
---------- Canal 24 Horas finally starts
Canal 24 Horas has finally started on 11,785 H on HotBird 2. If you
tuned in last night, expecting to see the Spanish 24-hour news and info
channel, you will probably have seen someone mucking around with their
digital receiver! The link here is probably a digital one taken from
Hispasat 1A/1B. Anyway, it's there now, only a day late.
---------- Astra 1G launches tonight
That's right. Everyone get your receivers tuned to transponder 40
(Astra, of course), 11,068 V, where AstraVision will broadcast the
launch live starting from about 22:30 UK Time. Astra 1G will provide 16
more transponders of digital television at 19,2° east. The next
satellite to be positioned here will be Astra 1H next year, which will
provide full digital back-up, as well as Ka-Band capacity.
