Can you receive eurobird 25.5e or altantic bird 4a 7.2w in uk orbit moving there

[antenna1]

Can any members here receive the orbit channels on eurobird 2 25.5 east or on atlantic bird 4a 7.2w . A quick on flysat shows they are already moving channels on to 7.2w i have also been told orbit will end the transponders on 8w when they do this i will not be able to watch orbit news or the other orbit channels.

Depends how big your dish is!

Atlantic Bird 4A (aka Hotbird 10) has its beam slewed well south of the UK. I havent seen any successful reports of AB4A reception in the UK.

EB2 has been received in a few places but the downlink power is very poor in the UK.

I have received a couple of transponders from AB4 on a 1.8m Prime focus, very weak and during the day only.

Thanks for the input looks like a 3 or 4 m dish is needed

According to Flysat Orbit has left 8W overnight.

Still receiving Orbit on 8W.

Would be interested to know any updates if it does suddenly go off air.

No update required - when/if 8W goes off you are going to need an insanely large dish if you want to continue to watch Orbit!

the Showtime Orbit Transponders,that are switched on around 2 weaks ago on ab4,are much weaker then the others,on the 2 orbit freqencys on ab 4 no signal,the rest comes,with my bigest kuband antenna,around the clock,sometimes,hard on the signal limit!
