channels down on eurobird 1 28e

[A nonymous]

I like Extreme Sports... There is quite a bit of stuff but most is +1.

The channels above are on Eurobird 1 are they not. I was referring to Eutelsat W2M @ 3e having nowt worth watching on it

It was supposed to go to 16e until something went tits up on it while it was being moved to its orbital position. They parked it at 3e and its been there ever since. Its just broadcasting a few free to air channels

It only has one active transponder on the go at the moment

From the little bits of news that have leaked out it appears the battery recharge circuit in W2M blew during In Orbit Testing. If so shes fully operational whilst the solar panels are lit but goes off air during eclipse periods.

I've got loads of spare chargers here, if they're short of a bob or two.
