Check here as well nothing maybe changing over to DTH service Sunday night?

No wonder the signals were switched off, since today Turksat 4A is on its way to 42° East!
As usual the first TLE after a manoeuvre is unreliable, but as it looks now it will take about 2 weeks.

A probably better prediction for the arrival at 42° East, based on this afternoon's TLE, is 14 June.

Hmm what can I repurpose the 50E lnb for now ?

Instead of saying the obvious "M" thing, this time I'll say, use it for 39E, it's missing in your signature!

 

[Analoguesat]

39E is already in the system - I just havent updated my sig for months!

Its the 4th lnb on the 46E dish


(Sig now updated )

Not exactly.

According to Turkish media (TRT) , the migration of transponders to the new Turksat 4 , is scheduled for July 14 , the day (night) following the end of the World Cup (probably they don't want to cause any potential problem to the football viewers).
There is also an unofficial info that , the broadcasts in the band range of 12,150 to 12,500 MHz and also of the Ka band transponders , is expected to start much earlier , probably with the arrival of Turksat 4A at 42 East .

Looks likely to be a bit boring for exotica ...
Ka footprint may possibly reach the UK ...but data only..
and the C band footprint centred over Africa ..

Hoping I'm wrong though..
and here was me hoping for something exciting when she begins service..
