Can find any information on Hotbird 1 (Eutelsat 2F6) being in trouble.
If is is coming down they may want to keep it quite.

The last of the EUTELSAT II series (EUTELSAT II F-6), this satellite was designed to provide television and entertainment services from the 13° East orbital position, which is the prime position in Europe for reception of consumer television and radio. It provides sixteen channels with a broad coverage of Western Europe, permitting direct reception of these services in the home and reception via cable distribution networks.
