Er, Sirius 2 (which will [amongst numerous other things] replace the now
*well* past its sell by date Tele-X satellite) is scheduled to launch
today.

Around 21:48 GMT - coverage is (so I'm told) to be on Tel-X at 12.605
GHz.

Given the 'Pan European' nature of Sirius 2 I wouldn't have thought it a
waste ...
