Testing at 55.3°E is finished, and Intelsat 39 is drifting East.
Ephemeris shows the satellite will arrive at about 61.7°E on 3 Oct.
More testing will be done there, according FCC notice.
The final location will be 61.95°E.

Nah - the prediction services are useless where a satellite is actively being manoevered. The predictions are for a few days ahead until they are next updated. Where the motors are fired to slow it down the predictions take a few days to catch up

IS-39 is active today! Most formerly "impossible" IRIB transponders can be locked now here.
Thanks to @mar-val for reporting: Satellites Community - 62.0°E Intelsat 39
IRIB main transponder 11555 V 30000 3/4 8PSK comes as well, with 13.5 dB.
My scan is ugly, because of troubled TBS-6925 card:

EDRS-C (with HYLAS-3 payload) has arrived at an 21.25°E in-orbit test location.
Later location 31.0°E, TT&C on 2285.0 MHz.
Finally this satellite is drifting to 31.0°E, and will be there in the first week of December.

Is this a satellite I could try and receive? I'd really like to get the IRIB channels. I live in the countryside and potentially could have up to about a 1.5 m dish in my back garden.

Its certainly worth a go - you will need a flat horizon out south-east to east sort of direction, with no hills & no obstructions (buildings trees, hedges) as the satellite will only be a few degrees above the horizon.

If you have rising gound out east to south east then its unlikely you will be successful.

Have a look on dishpointer.com. Put your location in & select 62E. It will give you directions & elevation above the horizon.

I do have a clear view to the horizon :D, it's a field and the nearest building is half a mile away or more in that direction. The main problem is the immediate neighbours whose front path would be the nearest obstruction if people walked on it, the dishpointer site says a maximum height of 1m, so am I right in thinking that if it were mounted on a 1m pole, that means 2m? i.e. is it taken from ground level? If so then so long as no-one tall visits my neighbours, I might stand a chance! But if a large truck parked etc. I'm sure I would lose it. I'm definitely going to try.

1m or 1 degree?? A height of 1m would be a weird mesurement. Wghats your nearest reasonable sized town or village so I can double check??

Using Lands End as a reference point the maximum elevation is 5.4 degrees. You should stand a reasonable chance of getting this as it will be higher the further east you get. If you stretch your fist out and place the bottom of your hand on the horizon the top of your fist will be about 10 degrees.

The dish will look very strange as it will have to lean well forward to get such a low elevation. So make sure the system you install allows plenty of forward tilt
