Antenna - 110 cm SuperMax, received as a gift in 2008. LNB - Inverto Black Ultra High-Gain.
They may make adjustments, so I get a signal from such frequencies that I couldn't get from old satellites.
In my case, the level of signal reception is much higher than it was before. For the first time for me, I got 11362 H 22000 from Astra. Until now a much larger diameter antenna was needed.
Can you share our topic?

hello maybe say hello here as your first post? https://www.sat-universe.com/index.php?forums/introduce-yourself.4/

It is not what @ahmed202444 is asking for.
When will the transfer of the remaining frequencies to the new satellite Astra 1p begin ???
Actually all crew satellites are working migration is still on the air no date defined to non operators, you can follow here new transponders https://flysat.com/en/satellite/astra-1p

The migration continues, the Astra 1KR satellite is emptied and while Astra 1L only has the 11604 V frequency reserved for DAB+ radio channels
SES, TSA, ORF Digital, Globecast and Mediengruppe RTL moved to Asta 1P last two days

From a Spanish Board :

Astra 1KR and Astra 1L are already out of service at 19.2º East

The migration of the multiplexes to the new Astra 1P telecommunications satellite, which took place on February 12 of this year between 3:00 - 5:00 AM, brought fundamental changes in the use of the Astra satellites at 19.2°E. Astra 1P took over the operation of the last 10 transponders of the former Astra 1KR and Astra 1L units.

Astra 1KR was launched on April 20, 2006 by an Atlas 5 launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA. The planned operating time was 15 years, but in practice the satellite has been operating for 19 years without any technical problems. The Astra 1KR has a capacity of 32 transponders, of which 28 were occupied after the first 5 years of operation

Astra 1L was launched into orbit on May 4, 2007 by an Ariane 5 launch vehicle from the Kourou Space Center in French Guiana. The estimated operational period was also 15 years and even in this case the satellite was able to ensure fault-free operation for almost 3 years. The Astra 1L is equipped with 29 transponders and after the first 5 years it could use 25 transponders.

The new Astra 1P has an incomparably greater capacity: a total of 80 transponders. Currently 39 tp are in use, which constitutes almost half of the used capacity.

Astra 1M (launched in 2008) and Astra 1N (launched in 2011) also operate at 19.2°E.

It is possible that they are still on Astra 1M, I think they will soon disappear since M+ is completely on 1P, they are broadcasting double, I know that satellite M is also planning to move it to 1P, with which M will disappear

Astra 1P (also known as SES-24) is an Astra communications satellite, built by Thales Alenia Space for owner/operator SES. Launched by SpaceX on 20 June 2024, the satellite will be positioned in geostationary orbit, in SES's primary European broadcasting slot at 19.2° East, where it will join and replace the Astra 1KR, Astra 1L, Astra 1M, and Astra 1N satellites currently stationed there (three of which have already exceeded their planned lifespans). Astra 1P is the first Astra satellite to be launched by SpaceX.[1][2][3]

Using all-electric thrusters, Astra 1P took several months to reach geostationary orbit. It was first positioned at 9.5° West for testing, which was successfully completed in December 2024,[4] and is currently moving to 19.2° East to begin service in early 2025.[5]

What will happen to the Astra 1M satellite? Do you have any information about it?
What information do you want more? , I put it in the previous post
What do you want to happen with the 1M?
Well, the Astra 1KR, Astra 1L, Astra 1M, and Astra 1N will disappear
Only 1P will remain
The others will change position or let it fall to the ground to burn, we will have to wait for SES to be programmed with those obsolete satellites.

What a Crazy satellite 1P nearly handles all the Astra 1 duties on it's own. We know SES likes to to have backups in general or are they actually giving up on that.
