And now the news:


---------- Sky Digital on Astra 1D again; reception reports
 Sky Digital has started another test package, this time on 11.934 V.
The vertical transponders seem to be much stronger here than the
horizontal transponders - I can pick up Sky News with no faults at all.
Here's the line up and some reception reports:
