Those frequencies can not be on Astra 1L, unless she has an unknown spot beam for Germany/West Europe. No signal at all here, all those frequencies gone. So most probably they are on Astra 2C now.

According to Flysat they have indeed moved to Astra 2C.
 
Btw, those are the frequencies that moved to Astra 2C today (all gone here)

11798,Η,27500
11876,Η,27500 DVB-S2/QPSK
11914,Η,27500 DVB-S2/QPSK
11954,Η,27500
12032,Η,27500
12051,V,27500
12070,H,27500
12148,H,27500​
 
There are still about 14 transponders on the 1H. Almost all CanalSat France and two ARD.
 
From this reply on the SES Facebook page to an enquiry from Turkey Id say traffic on Astra 1H is being run down:


We understand you are commenting on the channel movements that are currently taking place at our 19.2 degrees East orbital position. Please accept that we are responding in English which is the language we have chosen on Facebook. The current movements are caused by a shift from traffic from ASTRA 1H to ASTRA 2C and are part of our fleet renewal at 19.2 degrees East. The fleet renewal programme will secure the long term health of our satellite fleet and reinforce our unique back-up capabilities at 19.2 degrees East. The ASTRA 19.2 degrees East orbital position provides broadcasters with excellent coverage over Western Europe, and will be maintained also throughout the fleet replacement programme. The technical spill over outside the main coverage zones from former satellites cannot be guaranteed.
By the way: Due to the unique specifications of our satellites, the coverage of each of our satellites can slightly differ outside the borders of Western Europe. This also leads to the fact that some of the channels that are moving satellites are now available in a larger audience in Europe.

Kind regards,
Your SES-team

From this Id fully expect more of the 1H tp's to move to 2C in the next few days.

Or the other way around, many of them are now available in a smaller audience in Europe...
 
Next question is: Will the Astra 1H stay at 19.2 East, for back up maybe? Or will it be relocated to another position? There's still some time left in this 13 years old bird.
 
i think can change more satellite 2c it have 29 transponder capacity
now it 18 tp use
 
If they shift too much more onto 2C it'll be sweating under this "heavy" workload... It's not used to transmitting more than a handful of channels at a time...
 
i think astra 1h when shift to 2c or 1l next week
will be postision east
 
more two transponder switch tonight
12422h wdr and 12266h sr ferenshen and einsfestival hd
here in tel aviv need now 4.5m to get it
 
Those two switched to 1M, their signal is much better in Greece now.
 
the csat 12670v move to 1h to 1m europe beam
very low signal 4.5m db 32%

how reception of greece ?
 
Solly 12670V did not move to 1M, the signal is same here, around 7 - 8 dB. If it was on 1M it would be 14 - 16 dB.
