Astra 2G

2G IN PLACE ON 15 JUNE
Astra 2G will be in its final position at 28.3º east on 15th. June. It is currently being moved westwards at 0.64º per day. Services will be transferred to the new satellite almost immediately. Reports indicate there will be a complete migration from Eutelsat's 28A by the end of June.
Some people in the fringes of mainland Europe may see loss of channels, others will see an improvement, as 2G is much more powerful than the older satellites it will be replacing.
