[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1158389, member: 176362"] I wouldnt be surprised if an elderly inclined SES satellite is moved to 31.5E to keep the slot at least nominally active (even if in reality we all know its never actually powered up) But 31.5E as an operational slot is dead - and lets be honest it never really took off. SES5 at 5E is an interesting case as its got a large African payload. Now as rural Africa is years if not decades behind Europe in iptv infrastructure rollout, that is exactly the sort of mission I can see tv satellites being in use for many many years to come..
