TOPTV South Africa now on SES-5- 12340H,12380H and 12420H/SR 27500

You are right. I get it around 60-63%.HOPE and CITIZEN channels. BTW 12682H SR 266657 also has migrated last night. signal quality 75%

Just check on spectrum analyzer. 12640,12682,12722 all vertical are high. 9dB difference between old and new.

12722 V SR 266657 has now migrated to Intelsat 20. I checked signal here. Used to get 42% now it is 80%. This is on the Europe/Africa KU beam

Please have a watch on C-band. TP12 4185 (NDTV) will be switched today around 16:30 UTC. Many other TPs will follow. This is done one by one.

17 August 2012 MultiChoice migration to new satellite Dear Accredited Installer, By now you may have heard that the Intelsat 20 (IS-20) satellite launched successfully in early August 2012. MultiChoice plans to migrate its services from IS-7 to IS-20 on 17 September 2012. This migration has...

South African beam of course. I'll miss it.

Most probably around the 15 September as sat will arrive final destination on the 13

We are waiting for it in the islands. We were in out of footprint with IS10. Any news of SES-5?

I suppose it's got a matched feedhorn to achieve a good result as yours

Not that much. I'm on a 90 cm dish inside footprint. What's your dish size. The signal quality depends on your receiver but since you're using a Technomate (I guess) it's same as my clone STRONG.As you see in pictures you are more privileged in a fringe area. Don't overcomment the pictures lest...

That's very funny. I get almost same signal as you. I'm within the footprint. That beam is purposely designed to spill over Europe though not officially stated.

unfortunately no. we cannot get AB7 satellite here where I think you can get the FTA channels. Football is only on canalsat and DSTV. Some channels like RDV on w4 does broadcast some epl matches live. For your info Al Jazeera sport called BeIn Sport will be on Parabole package. So after 2013 i'm...

yes I'm receiving it (W4/W7). 80 cm dish is ok here
