According to the experiments currently underway, it appears that the Badr-8 satellite is like the Astra satellites

Here is what I currently get with a 100cm dish from Badr-4,
S/R 27500 unless stated
======== SQ ===100cm dish + Edision Primo
11938 V = 66%
11958 H = 66%
11977 V = 77%
11996 H = 77%
12034 H no signal
12054 V = 69%
12073 H = 64%
12092 V = 52%
12111 H = 44%
12130 V = 56%
12149 H = 0- 55%
12169 V = 64%
12182 H 16200 =40%
12226 H = 56%
12245 V = 0-52%
12523 H = 64%
12523 V = 56%
12563 V =64%
12566 to 12635 feeds
12643 H = 64%
12683 V =59%

Badr-8 is supposed to be a lot more powerful so I will compare these results when it starts.

From this morning's check, it appears to be moving slowly west. It is currently at approximately 26.8°E. In the next few hours I will do other checks, for further confirmation or denials.
For a few days now, telemetry signals have been switched to a lower bandwidth (around 200kHz), the same bandwidth used during the LEOP phase.

I just checked, it's now about 26.3°E. It is advancing westward about half a degree per day.
