Eutelsat Hot Bird 13F & 13G

the 8 FTA programs on 2 transponders now work fine ,the Folklore ones a tad weaker than the news & docs ones.

There might be further adjustments but right now (and the entire day so far) it looks like this at my place with the 1,1 m antenna (outside Linköping in Sweden):
12616 H: 14,7 dB
12635 V: 15,2 dB
12654 H: 14,8 dB
12713 V: 14,7 dB

So stable reception! Glad to get City TV again (used to be at 16 E but was moved to 45 E).
 
No signal on any of the Bulgarian frequencies this evening. Everything else is ok so guess they have been turned off or changed to a different modulation type.

They're all coming in well here. I really do believe this is a test of the spot beam and they're seeing how it works atm.

With the inclusion of the new transponders of the package VIVACOM yesterday morning there was a powerful signal:

Today, having checked once again, the power of these frequencies can be said to have disappeared :cry:

Yes, they directed the beam where it needed to be. Unfortunately, you have now lost the signal in your geographical area. I am reading and see that the signal has noticeably increased in Bulgaria. Somewhere as much as it has dropped in yours. I have not monitored the signal for the last few days, but I have checked today or I always have 17db in Slovenia.
 
In South France,
This morning,as yesternight:12713 V 30000,71%,stable
12635 V 30000 ,65-70% fluctuating
both very watchable.
 
Outside Linköping (southern part of Sweden) no change.
Strength is the same as yesterday as shown in my previous post #502.

Same in N. Ireland - from solid reception to zero! Ah well, I'm guessing that the "superbeam" than was in pre-launch publicity has been given a bit of a steer south-eastwards? Either that or maybe the new Hot Birds have similar beamforming to that of Quantum at 48E.
 
Yesterday morning the 5 Vivacom transponders were moved to Hotbird 13G.
While last night another 2 transponders were moved to 13G and 6 transponders were moved to 13F.

Below is the list:

Yesterday morning
Txp-95 12616 H --> From 13F to 13G
Txp-96 12635 V --> From 13F to 13G
Txp-97 12654 H --> From 13F to 13G
Txp-98 12673 V --> From 13F to 13G
Txp-100 12713 V --> From 13F to 13G

Last night
Txp-3 11258 H --> From 13F to 13G
Txp-90 12520 V --> From 13F to 13G
Txp-124 10992 V --> From 13G to 13F
Txp-125 11013 H --> From 13G to 13F
Txp-127 11054 H --> From 13G to 13F
Txp-128 11075 V --> From 13G to 13F
Txp-133 11179 H --> From 13G to 13F
Txp-158 11662 V --> From 13G to 13F

This new beam must have a hell of a steep cut off if the Bulgarian muxes are being received well in Estonia & Im getting absolutely nothing on a 1m dish in south eastern Scotland. :oops:

They are getting well received in Sweden too which is closer to you than Estonia.
 
In Slovenia, the signal varies between 15 and 17 db at gibertini 150. A little worse than it was at the start, but satisfactory.
 
Signal up today at my place in Sweden.
All Vivacom TP:s at around 15,5 dB now (1,1 m antenna).
Probably further adjustments will be made so we will just have to wait and see what comes out in the end.
 
today morning,
12713 V 30000,flimsy almost visible
12635 V 30000 ,absent
will return after rain stops... I hope!
That pair of TP is very convenient to fine-tune Hotbird indeed!

How is the signal on the H transponders (12616 and 12654)?
Here there is no difference between V and H.
