Just wondering if there is a satellite identification number when it is part of a fleet.
Hot Bird 13E consists of several satellites and I would like the receiver to display for each channel on which satellite it is transmitting from, without consulting Lyngsat.
All I can see is that a specific channel is on Hot Bird 13E, but not whether it is coming from 6, 7A or 8
I may have seen this in the past in DreamBox Edit channels list, but I would like to know if this can be visible in the OSD.
 
If you want your STB to automatically detect satellite index number in collocation for each transponder, then I think it's impossible because as far as I remember the NIT tables includes only sat. collocation name and orbital position but not satellite index number. You can get correct information about Hotbird transponders-to-satellite affinity only from Eutelsat because sometimes even lyngsat, kingofsat or satcodx could be wrong (just compare a data about which tps belongs to which sat. from Astra 19E on lynsat and kingofsat and you'll see a mismatches, somebody of them is wrong). This data must to be predefined in your STB settings if there is such option.
