Given the age of the Türksat 3A satellite, broadcasts from this satellite will soon be discontinued. Big changes will happen on the night of August 15 to 16, 2026, when Türksat 3A ceases its operations and all services from this satellite are transferred to other satellites at the 42°E position: Türksat 4A, Türksat 5B, and Türksat 6A.

At position 42°E, the parameters of some multiplexes will change. Also, completely new ones will be put into use.

To be able to continue watching our broadcasts uninterrupted and in high quality from the morning of August 16, don't forget to do an 'Automatic Channel Search' or 'Network Search' on your TV or satellite receiver on August 16!

 
The change happens on August 16th right?
So,we need to retune on august 17th...
 
They have started to activate the first transponders... 11225 V, 12111 V and 12150 V. Transponders 12111 V and 12150 V are still empty, without channels.

During the night just gone by, several transponder movements occurred... I attach files with the screenshots, all times are in CET (UTC +2).

Yesterday's scan at 6pm (CET).

Edit:
The transponder 11225 V has been activated on Turksat 5B. Transponders 12111 V and 12150 V are on Turksat 6A. All the others appear to have been switched to Turksat 4A. Note that Turksat 3A has not been completely shut down, several signals are still active... it will likely be used to transmit service feeds.

That’s right; my scan for "horizontal high" looks completely different now, too. I’m going to wait and see if there’s a daily high like before.

No they are on 12226 V
SR 27500 FEC 3/4 now.
 
Any sign of the narrow TRT radio muxes having moved? E.g. 11522 V 1800
 
Signal and multiplex test at 42.0E – Turksat (3A)/4A/5B/6A, today, 16 August 2026.
This is all I’m receiving in my area from this position. I’m also including a carrier test at 11611 V.
TRT Radio-low symbol rate(400 & 430)

An update on the TRT Radio low symbol rate: five muxes are active so far, as before. Verified using @PantaSat’s TBS Universal app.

Good signals on the old Sky dish. Still getting interference on live screen video with Ubuntu. OK streaming to neumo "live".
