[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1138063, member: 176362"] Reduces cost. Two satellites with more transponder can cover the work of 3 with fewer transponders. ISTR it was planned that any two of the 3 previous Hotbirds could cover for the in orbit failure of the third one anyway. Some of the pay tv providers will almost certainly have guaranteed service contracts so for example in the case of of Hotbird 13G fails in orbit 5 years from now then the transponder loadings on 13F will be altered to guarantee say Sky Italia has full service.
