uk bbc channels normally on 28.2 on intelsat 907 27.5w ?

[Fisty McB]

intelsat 901 end of life is predicted on first quarter 2024 , some members reported issues on C-Band TPs too

Have you a source for this? Looking at the Satbeams profile for this satellite with the MEV in place, it's expected to be okay until Q2/Q3 in 2026?

Though if there's reported trouble with the downlink output of I901...

It's not jus the Freeview UK Satback & RTP C-Band transmissions that could be potentially affected, several radio stations in the Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland currently use the bird for feeding their FM transmitters (as well as the Icelandic IP service, presuming it's sill running). If Intelsat have nothing lined up to replace I901 in this position, then I'd expect a good amount of notice to be given by Intelsat to these customers to find other solutions.

I wouldnt be at all surprised if the satback service got discontinued at some point. Its a vast lucury expense that really isnt needed these days. The transmission system is robust enough to withstand a few failures - look what happened when Bilsdale tx got destroyed last year - all they did was put a temporary mux on 28E to feed the replacement tranmitters.......

And if some tiddly flea powered minor tx serving 6 people and a million sheep loses its primary feed for a few hours well so what.

While there's definitely an element of commercial confidentiality regarding it's overall cost, I'd doubt it's costing the Beeb a huge amount to keep it going at least at "vast luxury" expense levels given what I'd assume would be the transponder rental at 27.5W compared to 28E, not to mention also using BISS1 as encryption to keep rights holders sorta happy. The Bilsdale incident, while obviously catastrophic, at least occurred where it has significant overlapping coverage with other main UHF transmitters, and has favourable local terrain where few relays are needed - were something similar to happen in a part of the UK where things weren't as simple, things would have been, or will be, more complicated.

I couldn't find any radio streams on PID 101

yes ive found it last weekend but i havent reported it to flysat. there was only data when i checked it. by the way some of the radios are gone.
here are the files

well done to have missed those nice dishes....

11609 V,6531,2/5-Siminn TV has stopped?
I'm unsure about the message displayed, but Siminn TV has stopped broadcasting in IP-over-Sat on 27.5W(?). I hope I got the message right on this stream, which is still active. The radio stream is not working either.
Is anyone on this forum who knows more, or at least enough Icelandic to understand the message correctly?

 

[ozumo]

Translated it says "Here was a private Icelandic TV channel that stopped broadcasting on this channel"

[satesco]

11609 V,4165,2/5,s2-Pid 512. The three IPTV services work with the same parameters except for the new symbol rate.

 

[EnoSat]

Although my card is not suitable for receiving Packetizer or Modcode, its "behavior" is interesting
if LOCK is QPSK ( bitrate 3MB ), partialy processed data,

if LOCK is like APSK ( bitrate 14MB ), I have no data.

 

[EnoSat]

Partial success also on enigma2

11610 V,4165,2/5,-S2
The Siminn TV stream is no longer being transmitted. Only radio streams are working, and Premier League matches when they are broadcast.
There are six Icelandic radio streams on 228.5.6.7.
I used the 6903x card with neumoDVB, and fortunately, it can lock and listen to IPTV on the mux-116019 V,4165,2/5-with a low symbol rate of 250 Ks.
Also, the radio stream is on 11696 V, 500, and 8/9.

 

[satesco]

Siminn TV from IP address 228.5.6.8 reactivated faster than I thought with the same IP-over-Sat/DVB parameters on the same mux,11609 V,4165,2/3, S2.

 

[satesco]

Another device, besides dvb cards, to run the Siminn TV stream at 27.5W is the Ayecka SR1. Eumetsat users use it to capture weather images from the EumetCast service.
It is also valid for MPE streams, like this IP-over-Sat/DVB.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but when testing with Ayecka, I found that the video stream, i.e., 228.5.6.8, does not work in the morning.

Can I ask some of you friendly pals to help me configure TSReader & VLC to play this correctly?
When I click Playback > VLC > Play, I get this error:

wow, i hope that it is on North Sea beam which is much stronger and better. ill give a try

Hello
i tried this TP in Central Europe with OP85cm but without signal.
If it still broadcasts something there it looks like Euro spot 1 beam focused to UK.
