Yeah found it. Its in an inclined orbit which is usually done to save on fuel as a sat gets towards its end of life.

so its going to die then.

Yes, but maybe not for a few years yet. It depends on how much fuel its still got.

I find your info very fasinating thank you Proppinupthebar.

Like me you have no life !!!

:D :D

nah I have a life. I found that watching the german channels on ASTRA improved my german.

Infact I thought the programming was better then what sky offered but infact for free.

I loved the late night german films. I was 14 at the time and they just used to make me laugh. My grandparents who I would say are liberal used to tell me about them and they would sit there laughing there heads off at some of these films.
