Sorry mate, must have overlooked this when I was scanning through!

Whilst you're in Luxembourg, you should take a trip to SES Astra! You might even manage to get in and get to watch a bit of CNBC while you're there...

Is that where their HQ are? I'll keep an eye out for it.

yeah you will probably get to see every version

From what Ive been told you wont get any closer than peering over the fence!

Its at Châteaux Betzdorf just outside Betzdorf. You can see the dishes easily enough on Google Earth

or look here

mmmmmm dish porn

Now that is funny

You would say it's wonderful, you're local.

Now that's one hell of a dish farm!

I liked the scaffold platform erected at the side of what looks like residential buildings on-site just to house all the receiving dishes!

Haha Looking at it now, I think I know someone who might be interested


Sounds like fun!


Don't have Google Earth installed on my computer, I'll have to look for a Mac version (if there is one).

Or you could just have a search on http://maps.google.com
I've been trying myself, but can only seem to find random fields and stuff.

Love the link to the pics, Radio Ruderham!!

Update

"50325" has now been relabelled as 'Motors TV UK'.

'Motors TV UK' has now changed transponders, moving from 11.307 V to 11.527 V.

Look to the north-west of the railway station

Update

"50345" has now been relabelled as 'MUTV'.

'MUTV' has now changed transponders, moving from 11.307 V to 11.527 V.

Railway station? Did someone mention a railway Station?

Well, that's the symbol shown on Google maps

Psst don't give any Marketing lecturers any ideas!

Thanks. Just had another look and found it!

It's pretty impressive. I aim for my garden to resemble something similar in the not too distant future...

So that's 11307V cleared out, wonder now what's going to happen to this transponder? Maybe Eutelsat want power loading reduced on EB1 so have decided not to renew the rental with the relevant uplink provider?

I bet your neighbours are gonna love you

Sangat (channel 847) is currently showing a live feed from a car driving around Birmingham looking for any trouble.

Keeps switching between Live pictures and recorded pictures which are also marked as live.

I hope you keep it safe then. Wouldn't want any of 'em stolen!
