Here is a spectrum of today. Did you check if your lnb is still working properly (on other sats). I see that you still have some reception,
so it is unlikely, but I have seen cases where the LNB has some difficulty to start properly, and then after a while starts to work. That could then account for problems at the start of a spectrum scan.
...
Strangely, on March 6, I had a very good signal at 52.0E, and I posted this at
#94, as usual, averaging over 13dB, but on March 11, it simply disappeared on Iranian muxes.
Meanwhile, the bombings in Iran have intensified, and, as announced by the press agencies, the infrastructure, especially communications, has been greatly diminished.
That was the explanation I gave myself when I saw that I was no longer receiving any Iranian muxes. Now we also have photo/video evidence of this disaster in Iran.
My confusion was aroused by your report and by Analoguesat'report that you have a signal in your area. I told myself that it is possible, but not necessarily, that you have a signal from the Monacosat satellite (it is no coincidence that it is in tandem with TurkmenAlem at 52.0E).
However, I have since learned that the Iranians have repositioned some of their spots so that the areas most important to them are covered. That means Central Asia, the Middle East, MENA and, of course, the western part of Europe are home to a large community of Iranians living there.
So, I don't think it's the antenna and/or the LNB that I don't have a signal at 52.0E. Other enthusiasts in my area also have signal problems at this position.
I have since learned that the IRIB package and Iranian muxes at 62.0E have also disappeared. I haven't had time to check this.
It is clear that Iran cannot afford, in wartime, but especially after the massive destruction it has suffered, to provide so many services on multiple satellites at this time.
In this situation, the lack of Iranian programs at 52.0E also has collateral victims in Europe; I am thinking of those who watched FTA Premier League soccer matches.
