Hi all,

Hellas Sat 2 at 39.0°E [S2 East Beam]

I have been searching through the TP's on the S2 East beam on this satellite and I have managed to pull in just enough signal to briefly view the channel on...

11.631H [2222] 3/4 DVB-S QPSK [S2 East Beam]

Deniz TV (Turkiye) [VPID 0256/APID 0258/PPID 0256] FTA

TM 5402 HD CI+ Super+
Signal Strength 87%
Signal Quality 47%

I have attached pictures below... you will notice the the last picture (#5) was taken a few minutes after the others... this was because I lost the signal and the picture froze...

Best Wishes,
Zorch

Down in the noise for me Zorch. Maybe try earlier in the day, but not optimistic.
 
Hi Llew et al,

I have tried this frequency during the day... without success... it only seems to increase in strength from around 8.00pm... The way I locate the S2 East beam (on this satellite) is by obtaining optimum signal strength/signal quality on the 'Dolce TV' transponder 11.012V [30000] then I nudge the dish Eastwards (a tiny fraction at a time) until I find the 'Hellas Sat Net' Data Stream transponder on 11.460H [2950] then I 'Save' the position.

Beware:
I have found the S2 East beam to be very narrow indeed... one nudge either side of this signal and you'll probably lose it again...

For anyone who is interested... I was looking through my records and there was another (S2 East Beam) channel I reported on (JKF) late last year (18th October to be exact) which was also only obtainable from around 8.00pm... it was 'Turkish Music Box' aka 'TMB'... the channel subsequently disappeared from this satellite very soon after... it is now only to be found on an (East Beam) transponder on Turksat 2A

I appreciate this is no longer a current (S2 East beam) channel... but I've attached my pictures (below) merely as a "retrospective" record of this channel... I hope this is okay...?

Best Wishes,
Zorch

I believe it left 62E at the same time, annoying because it was one of my regular 'wallpaper' channels, always good to hear music not generally available in this part of the world. It was also the last remaining TV channel on the satellite.

11.631H [2222] 3/4 DVB-S QPSK [S2 East Beam]

Deniz TV (Turkiye) [VPID 0256/APID 0258/PPID 0256] FTA

This signal seems to be breaking through progressively earlier and earlier each night I look for it... so if anyone is interested in trying to locate this frequency/channel on the S2 East beam... have a try now... it has already risen up to the best signal strength/signal quality I achieved on it last night... and it's only 7.30pm...

Going to have a go at this one myself later on, is there a time you've noticed the signal starts to drop off again or is it pretty strong all night then drops off in the daytime?
 
Hi SatSearcher,

I've kept it on up until midnight... by then the signal was dropping off a bit... but as I told Llew... I cannot get it during the day... it's a bit like the Hoizontals on Nilesat... the window for the S2 East Beam seems to be between 7.30pm and midnight...

Best Wishes,
Zorch
 
Thanks for that, will give it a go later when everyones gone to bed

If anyone is interested... my reception of this channel/frequency started at 7.00pm tonight...

Has anyone else managed reception of this channel/frequency...?

I've just tried with the 1.2M Laminas and not a trace. Alignment may be slightly off but that's waiting till Spring to adjust LOL. I think I might be too far west to pick it up.
 
Hi again all,

@sonnetpete

Thanks for the reply mate... I would have thought that from your location you would have stood a better chance of reception than someone in the middle of the UK... that is if the official Hellas Sat S2 East Beam footprint is anything to go by...?

Code: 
http://www.hellas-sat.net/en/coverage_maps.html

@et al

I maybe stating the obvious here... but if you are struggling to find this channel/frequency... you could always try manually adding the channel and PID's in the receivers' menu... then sit patiently on the blank screen and see if the channel bites... I have had some amazing results in the past using this method... it does work occasionally...

Best Wishes,
Zorch

Click to expand...

I'd looked at the footprint the other day, however central UK is just about on the western edge of the footprint. I am some distance west of the leading edge (at the foot of that sticky up bit that juts into the Channel).

Hi again all,

I was scanning the S2 East Beam (11.400H~11.700H) early yesterday evening... and I found a new frequency with two channels... unfortunately both of the channels are encrypted... both state encryption as 'Unknown' ...so most probably BISS

I found the frequency/channels at about 7pm yesterday... but then the rain storms came and I lost the signal for hours... but I managed to get a lock again at about 11pm... and I took some pictures around midnight... I had a brief lock on the frequency again early this morning... but nothing since... but that's no surprise as it's dull, overcast and drizzling here...

I've looked around the various satellite charts (KingOfSat/Flysat/Lyngsat) ...but I can't find any mention (as yet) of this new frequency and channels... has anyone else found this...?

Hi again all,

I lost the signal on this transponder/channel a couple of months ago... however I have just checked it tonight and it's now back on again... it's also showing the strongest Signal Quality reading I have ever seen on this transponder/channel... can anyone else receive this tonight...?

Didn't get chance to look last night, but just had a look now and nothing there for me. I usually check this one when i'm passing 39e but never had anything.
 
Hi SatSearcher,

I've just tried the transponder/channel again... I'm still receiving it... but the readings are now...

Edit: Signal has now gone... raining

Hi again SatSearcher,

Finding this TP on the S2 East beam can be very tricky... what I normally do is to peak my Signal Quality on 11.012 V 30000 when coming from a satellite to the West of 39E... get the TP list up in the menu... 11.631 H 2222 ...then tweak my dish fraction by fraction to the East... the S2 East beam is wafer thin... so just go one nudge at a time... and always wait for at least a minute in-between nudges... even if you think that there's nothing there... sometimes the signal locks all of a sudden... from seeing just background noise to a locked signal... it regularly appears like that for me...

I hope this helps...

Best Wishes,
Zorch
