At the moment, satellite broadcasts Arabsat package from frequency 11,566 H. Also, PanAmSat 5 satellite is now on 26,2 E position, and it changed its name on... Arabsat 2C.

PAS 5 satellite, now - Arabsat 2C is on 26,2 E position. At the moment, there is no broadcasts or transmissions from this satellite.

The Arabsat 2D - 26E satellite, was recently well known as Eurobird 2. It was suppouse to be used for Internet connections for S*y Digital package. At first satellite was named as Hot Bird 5 satellite and broadcast from 13E. However, it was launched, the satellite become recognised as a faulty and replaced by new generation satellite - Hot Bird 6.
