Eutelsat 12West B @ 12.5 west
12582 H 2222 3/4 DVB-S MPEG-2

Well spotted. I wonder if the spare satellite will be moved there when Eutelsat 7C becomes operational?

 

[william-1]

When 7C becomes operational @ 7 east in approx 3 months time,
7A will then move to 12.5 west for a short stay until the launch of "Eutelsat Quantum" to 12.5 west,
7A will then move to another location.

Is the Marqueur channel gone? I had it before but no signal now. I am getting very strong signals on some feeds. 17 dB on GCR/F32/1/ CULT BOX

La Grande Parade des Nations Celtes, from Lorient.

11537 H 3600

I recently visited the 12.5W position and found no frequencies with TV/Radio service, only Data.

@mapperuo is right, 12582 H is a regular feed at 8.0W, but I didn't track the day and times of transmission.
