Here are the signals and muxes I got at 87.5E with Crazyscan, IQmonitor, and neumoDVB.
Some of the spikes are carrier tests.
Watan HD migrated to several satellites, starting with 97.3E G-Sat-9 in 2020, then 87.5 Chinasat-12 in 2022, to 53.0E, and now back to 87.5E.
The signal is now at 87.5E, at the same level as in 2022, which is over 12 dB in my area.

WATAN HD with contennt

 

[dreamsat]

With improved focus and skew control, over 10 dB is now possible

for my position this satellite behaves very strangely, sometimes it is very strong while sometimes I have no signal, within a few seconds the signal goes to maximum no lock
