Up Coming Launch Eutelsat 21B

[Lazarus]

Any results, solly?

Four and a half hours is a long time for a Scan!

 

[strs65]

These are my results, after a blind scan. I can't really see significant differences between this scan and one three months ago (second attachment)...

EUTELSAT 21A will now be redeployed to 48° East where it will continue to provide full commercial service. The EUTELSAT 70B satellite, launched on December 3, is currently undergoing in-orbit testing and on track to enter service at 70.5° East in mid-January 2013.

That will replace the old Hottie 2 / W48A. No doubt Hottie 2 will now be junked.

@tivu
it look not all transponder activ
here 3 page resolte from tel aviv with 4.5m
unvalibele yamel tv receiver 20db c/n much stronger
11241h sr-23200 fec 2/3 dvbs 2 8pski got 4.5c/n on polarity low signal

Strange, signal levels were up massively this morning before i went to work, come home and all seem to be back to previous levels, anyone else noticed this?

 

[Analoguesat]

It may vary over the day. I often find the uk morning is best for scanning 53E & 42E

@SatSearcher
are you morning signal much better at evening

 

[SatSearcher]

Sometimes there are slight differences on some sats at different times of day, but these are major differences! E.g. 11344H SR 29991 FEC 5/6 DVB-S2 8PSK this morning was 75% now not locking (locks at 55% on my receiver) also 10989H SR 1600 FEC 7/8 this morning 57% now no lock (locks at 46%). Also all the channels that do lock are down in strength 15-25% from this morning. If i didn't know any better i'd say they've all moved back to 21A.

maybe same transponder use feed
not tv stations regular brodcasting
i check tonight and tomorow
from tomotow evening not signal will be strom tomorow night

Some signals were indeed stronger this morning, possibly just after the switchover. Still a good strong signal for me on 11345H (10.0db at the moment). I also lost 10889H earlier when there was a feed just below it at 10986H 2200 but the signal returned when the feed disappeared.

Seeing a lot of feeds active tonight with half decent signals, normally struggle to lock the feeds. Also noticed that Al Arabiya has moved to 11677V with a feed replacing them at 11655V. As noted by others the strongest signal by far is Yemen Today @ 13db

No chance of seeing 21B here tonight - its chucking it down outside.

 

[Piltdownpaul]

Yep frustrating isnt it, every time we have a celestial happening,meteor shower , eclipse of the moon, etc, it rains...

 

[Analoguesat]

Certainly is annoying - and Ive got a couple of new Black Ultra lnb's on order so I can try to improve the signal on 21B as well.

 

[solly]

my list now 11304h download from 17.7 c/n to 13.3 c.n
i not found black ultra incverto c120 prime focus with 4 port

 

[dxn]

did they make the switch over or not?

I did a full scan on the satelite and signal levels are on same level as before.

Only have signal on one arab chanel in 10975v and nothing more and that was what I had with Eutelsat 21A, so seems the new bird is not ative yet.

 

[solly]

same transponder use same level power

 

[dxn]

same transponder use same level power

Well if that is wright then all charts are wrong (flysat, lyngsat) because they state all frequencys are using the wide beam that covers all Europe and acording to that I should have signal on all channels and As I said only receive one channel on 10975v...

Eutelsat say they have transferred the channels over......

And not so long ago SES said that 2F was Operational when it wasn't! Barely is even now.

 

[Analoguesat]

My new Black Ultra lnb's arrived today, so if it ever stops raining I will see if I can get anything.
