My Satellite Setup
TBS 6925
1.8m Precision + PLL Bullseye, motorised but probably siezed now.
2 x Sky Zone 2 for 28/19/13°E
My Location
Sussex
Two feeds from the same football match on 66E. Zenit V Rubin-Kazan in the Russian Super cup at the Metallurg Stadium in Samara.

12703H 3225 78 DVBS ID 'RUS-047'
12709H 6700 78 DVBS ID 'RUS-046'
 
Is this still on? I tried it and wasn't getting anything. This satellite is quite flaky for me, though. MIR TP is about the only one which is semi-stable/receivable.

Did a full blindscan of this sat yesterday CJ ....and like you ..the only semi stable ..flakey channel I can lock down was MIR.
I suspect its the only one available to smallish UK dish users...and inconsistant at best.

The footy has gone CJ, I suspect it was up just for the match. It's interesting how footprints vary because I find the radio stations on 12742 are slightly stronger than MIR, I'm not in the shack atm so can't remember the details but the other transponder I get with two TV (one biss) and one radio is quite a bit weaker but still available 24/7 at 50% Q.
 
I am located more East, so 66*E is stronger here. That is what I am getting (picture attached). MIR Service and MIR+3 are about 13dB, and rest 2 channels little bit more than 7 dB. That is on 1,5mPF dish with simple universal LNB (not designed for PF dishes).
But I am getting nothing what Aceb mentioned in post #1.
 
Managed to scan in the radio channels - seems quite stable with only occasional breaks in audio.

Not a peep from the other TP (only a very brief lock - less than a second)
 
11010H 2810 6.8 db
11671V 14260 11.9
12630H 11000 5.6
12655H 5500 7.6
12743H 2000 3.1 (no lock)
 
The first two TPs seem to be on 68.5E (South African beam!), not 66E. No idea what the third one is though.
 
The first three are all data transponders on 66E, varying signal strengths here but all stronger than 12596H.
 
Signal Quality now:
11010H/2810 - 67-70%
11671V/14249 - 70-71%
12596H/6666 - 53-65%
12618H/1701 - 53-58%
12742H/2000 - 56-63%
12630H/11000 - no signal

Listed on
FlySat Intelsat 17 @ 66° East
 
For the first time today (probably due to lack of rain) I managed to watch NNTV and Rossiya 1 on 12596 H... albeit with occasional breaks. Also scanned in 11010 H with two channels on there but my Slingbox crapped out so I'll have to wait till I get home to get the signal readings.
 
Hi,
I also have found those two feeds from 66E, listed in the first post of this thread. Those feeds were active only once and only for Russian Super Cup match, I've tried to find another russian football feeds later on week-ends, because RPL season has started and already two tours played, but there were nothing on 66E and 60E. Last season about half of RPL matches had feeds on 60E (unfortunately don't receivable in UK), but this season they use Astra 4A (4.8E) 12712 H 5000 or another unknown sats and freqs.
Russian companies uses mostly 12500-12750 H subband on Intelsat 17 (66E), especially 12590-12650 H range. Soon the new Intelsat 20 will be launched to 68.5E position. This sat also will have wide russian beam (receivable in Europe), I hope there will be more sport feeds from my country on this sat :)
I can make 66E spectrum pictures from my location, if this interesting for anybody here.
