My BBC Red Button programmes have disappeared, has this happened with all of you?

This is a copy from Satcure Blog :-

BBC "Red Button" Streams gone
The BBC has reduced the number of transponders to ONE for its "Red Button" streams. This means that the streams previously carried on 11953.50 MHz and 11469.23 MHz are gone and the one remaining stream (10773H 22.0 5/6) can not be received in the remote parts of Europe without a very large dish. Please don't ask me what size. We won't know until Astra-2F has moved into position.

You can see its current location here: http://www.n2yo.com/?s=38778

The Astra 2F is completing it's final testing which MIGHT be the cause. Astra 2F is due to be fully operational by the end of the year and since as I said on another thread it looks rather ominous for Cyprus. There'll be a wailing and a gnashing of teeth next summer as all the current available programmes go down
