ASTRA 2G TEST TRANSMITTING
Signals from Astra 2G are being received from its test position, which is well away from its permanent slot at 28.3º east, from where it will serve the UK and ROI in late May or early June.
SES have wasted no time in commissioning the satellite's transponders. When it goes into service in a few weeks, it will take over transmissions from Eutelsat's Eurobird satellite. Whilst some channels may be stronger than before, any that are moved to the UK spot beam will disappear from much of eastern and southern Europe.
