FlySat Hispasat 30W-4/30W-5/30W-6 @ 30° West

The three aforementioned are now quite stronger at my location, coming at 16db. The rest have not moved (yet), Flysat is wrong!

I’d forgotten the other TDT Sat ones are largely on 30W-5 anyway!

That’s interesting though, thanks. I think I’ll have a go at tweaking my dish for 12548V, which has always been a bit awkward here for me.

Yesterday's TLE confirms Hispasat 30W-6 arrived at 30.0°W.

too oficial: Hispasat

It seems a bit strange that the Slovakian Pantelio service has vacated Belintersat and taken up residence on Hispasat?

A reason could be, Pantelio transponders on Belintersat suffered interference from nearby TurkmenAlem, that has common up- and downlink bands.
Seems both satellite operators still ignore each other's existence.

WOW, the signal will be stronger in Greece than the UK! Who would have thought?

 

[Adam792]

No wonder I'm not really seeing any difference in terms of strength on TPs like 12548V (Managed to tweak the dish to get that one back up to ~12dB and 12631V to ~14dB which were the same as my best values before the switch)! In South Central England we're only within the 49dBW contour.

Most of W-6 I can't get however I can get the TVË channels on 12631 V and 12671 V. The transponder with Antenna 3 and La Sexta is right on the edge for me (I would say what frequency but I've forgotten and its not documented anywhere)

12548V is where they live, along with the Mediaset España channels (Cuatro, Telecinco, etc) and DMAX/Gol/Disney/Paramount.

This one is definitely on the weak side compared to 12631V/12671V. I lose it completely in moderate rain on my 80cm dish.

I feel like the new footprint actually seems to match what 30W-4 was like in practice for these transponders. They always seemed easier to get (including 12548) even on a 60cm dish at my parents' house 50 miles north of here in the North Midlands, which would be inside the 50dBW contour of the 30W-6 footprint, whereas they're weaker here and we're only within 30W-6's 49dBW area.

12548 was on the edge here in Frankfurt/Germany with a 60cm dish, with 90cm now I've 13 dB and on 12631 I've got ~15.5 dB.
