Marvellous!
I don't really think they will stay FTA, let's enjoy them while they last!
Mind everyone they are HD H.265 not H.264!

Hotbird 13D / Eutelsat 33E has 64 Ku band transponders covering the whole of the Ku band with loads of room for expansion,

There was talk a while back about 33 east becoming the New Eutelsat Hot Spot for European TV

33E is an odd location - its never really taken off has it? Eutelsat stuck spinner sat e-Bird there years ago and it did bugger all for its decade and a bit lifespan!

As predicted all encrypted again,
FlySat Eutelsat 33E @ 33.1° East

Just seems to be a waste of a good satellite here a better move would be to 12.5 west as Eutelsat 12 West B is near to the end of life here,
Then send another old satellite to 33 east maybe Eutelsat 7A ? soon to leave 7 east.

kingofsat says they are fta again! can anyone confirm?

 

[MCelliotG]

Yes, indeed! FTA again!!!

 

[rodscha]

i got the signal (and the sound) but nooo picture even on TV5 afrique...
does this mean it s 4k stuff ,or my German receiver cant take HEVC?
Is HEVC equal to 4k?
Surprises me ,as generally TV5 uses old fashioned technology especaially when targeting Africe

 

[MCelliotG]

I already stated they are FHD H.265/HEVC.
4K receivers support this codec and some FHD (like OSnino, SX88 etc).

 

[william-1]

Working OK on the SX88+ & Primo S2
I have not checked the Amiko A4K atm.

 

[william-1]

Amiko A4K working fine just that the readout of the type of transmission given is 3840 x 2160 UHD this incorrect as it is HD.

 

[MCelliotG]

There is a series of faults in the flags of these channels, Enigma2 reports 1920X1080 but the recordings are 1920X540!!!

Upscaling ?
