DVB-S2/8PSK

SR-FEC: 27500-3/4​

Carrying some American channels, very strange.
One America News, Outdoor Channel, America’s Funniest Home Videos, World Poker Tour, Triton Poker and Cricket Gold.

I wonder what the target audience is. The latest addition America’s Funniest Home Videos has a lot of glitches. It seems legit as One America News has a press release about it. Still carrying American ads.

Probably for American soldiers based in Europe.

Solid gold channels every one of them.

It could be only for the amerian presidential elections?

 

[astra19]

I doubt it. Soldiers have AFN and they’re moving to streaming too. And most channels aren’t news focussed.

This is not a new transponder, It has been around since August 26

the new MuxIP platform of the Eutelsat Hot Bird 13G satellite (13°E) will be free of charge and distributed according to the FAST model (free television, supported by advertising).

Until recently, the channels were distributed on FAST platforms in the United States, Canada, Australia, India, and other parts of the world. From 26 August 2024, MuxIP and Eutelsat Group will broadcast modified versions to viewers in the United Kingdom and generally in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa

MuxIP is a global leader in the fast-growing television business model focused on free ad-assisted streaming television (FAST) and a FAST innovator in broadcast, satellite, and cable.
The operator is headquartered in Los Angeles, California (USA).

Welcome to Trump's world!
the ads are very medicine-oriented. Most US citizens look to be in poor health!

Eww the transmission standards are not very good on these channels

the picture on Cricket Gold is horrible - lots of stuttering

One American News the ticker is all jittery.

And as for the the "funniest videos" well they are about as amusing as toothache.
