    Can you list the frequencies please Zaphod on 27.5w for future reference?

    Cheers.

    11553, V, 3720
    11542, V, 3720
    Both in 4:2:2.

    For anyone who hasn't 27.5W locked in, there is an "Intelsat" labelled encrypted channel which is on 24/7 and is very strong to align your dish @ 11518, V, 5632

    Another couple of frequencies used for the election, from feedhunter googlegroups:

    11103, V, 3720 Wexford 4:2:2

    Thor @ 1°W also in use by RTE.

    Currently live:

    11472 V 6111 ID: "DIGISAT RTE HBR" Horse Racing 4:2:2

    11481 V 6111 ID: "DIGITAL SPACE" GAA (studio discussion) 4:2:0
    (update: now showing still image of Semple Stadium)

    11508 V 6111 ID: "DLSW" - GAA (Donegal v Armagh at Ballybofey) 4:2:2
    11517 V 6111 ID: "DLSW"

    The ID "DLSW" refers to "Donegal South-West". It would appear that the sat uplink van had been used to cover election counts over the weekend and they never changed the ID.

    27.5w 11542 V 3720 is bouncing up and down not able to get a lock not sure if its the symbol rates changed or my dish just is not big enough and it cant lock it.

    Edit - Locked at 12:07 its now RTE LDN HBR, 4:2:2 Barely lockable.

    So is there anything currently on 34.5W ?
    I got it set up on my motor , but the only thing i could get was a internet provider's TP.

    Tried all the feed info from Lyngsat , with no joy.

    Ireland’s National broadcaster, RTE, is purchasing two Newswift satellite antennas from Advent Communications. They will be added to the broadcaster’s already-owned Newswift equipment to increase the size of the satellite communications fleet. These new antennas are to be mounted on new radio communications vehicles.

    This new order, finalized at the recent IBC exposition, is for two 1.2 meter Ku-band antenna systems with integrated RF and SSPA package. The Newswift antenna is a highly compact system with a specially shaped offset feed antenna made from carbon fibre—Lewisville, Texas

    I903 at 34.5W has been a desert for many months since RTÉ left, apart from a few data carriers, but Spanish feeds have started appearing with the last few weeks. Today there were also 2 feeds for Digisat doing 'GAA Beo' coverage for TG4 and subsequent interviews for RTÉ. Digisat used to carry these mostly on 1W last year.

    New testcard as well.
