Well another one of my favourite feed hunting positions has been eliminated @ 12.5° West,
Joins 24.5° West & 37.6° West :(

Hopefully 48° East Quantum will prove interesting :)

...but more importantly if we can receive it with our devices?!
Why are you worried? Quantum is not designed as a tv bird - its going to be mainly carrying data services for aeronautical, maritime & governments.

Launch update:-
EUTELSAT QUANTUM heralds a new era of commercial satellite service, enabling users in government, mobility and data markets to actively define and shape the performance and reach they need from a satellite.

Using a software-based design, EUTELSAT QUANTUM will be the first universal satellite to repeatedly adjust to business requirements. Scheduled for launch early 2021, and to be located at 48° East, EUTELSAT QUANTUM will offer extensive coverage of the MENA region and beyond.

Another year went by, and today the latest Universal Registration Document is out:
https://www.eutelsat.com/files/PDF/investors/2020-21/URD_Eutelsat_2021_UK.pdf
Noteworthy (in chapter 1.3):
Ka-Sat at 9.0°E is not listed any more, this is a Viasat satellite now. Though probably Eutelsat still operates it, being co-located with Eutelsat 9B.
The Estimated Orbital Manoeuver Lifetime shows the year only, it is no longer down to a quarter. Yearly documents of other satellite operators also stopped with quarters.
Apart from that, compared to last year's URD, the estimates did not change.
