Since last year, a lot of the Thai channels have been encrypted in BISS. It's only there to make sure that you buy their freesat decoders, which are only £15 for the HD boxes.

Might bring one back to England with me which'll be useless as we can't get thaicom in England :)

3803V Thai Tv 3 also here stronger than usually, about 5.7 dB when mostly something between 4-5 dB. Stable picture now.

What might be around 3770V - 3785V? Blindscan give 2-3 deb signal from there. 3880V 30000 or something else?

CH3 have always had the strongest transponders. They must pay the most to thaicom.

If anyone needs any help, feel free to give me a shout. Got a 2.4m here in Bangkok.

Tentative: 3715V ABC TV Nepal.

Locked but not picture though. Signal about 4.5 dB and Vpid 101/ Apid 256 as it should be. My Technomate says FEC 1/2 but it would "open" if this would be true, so maybe 3/4 still..?

Thaicom 5 Regional.

No drifting yet, still within the usual +/- 0.1° range.
But the usual fortnightly correction that should have been on December 30, was delayed until January 7.
So now inclination of almost 0.1° is a bit more than usual. Let's wait what the next correction brings.

No orbit correction since my previous post, so the inclination is increasing (about 0.15° now).
Drifting will be to the West probably, but not accelerating much because this satellite is close to the gravitational well at 75°E.
I wonder if they will be able to passivate this satellite.

C band coverage of thiacom 5 include many regions while thaicom 6 hasnot beam same as thaicom 5. so many channels will be lost in western asia.

According latest TLE, Thaicom 5 is being raised to graveyard altitude.
Also this news here: THCOM De-orbit "Thaicom 5", ฿222mn of Impairment Fully Booked in 2019 • ข่าวหุ้นธุรกิจออนไลน์
Thaicom Public Company Limited (THCOM) has announced in reference to the notification to the Stock Exchange of Thailand dated 18 December 2019, 16 Jan 2020 and 11 February 2020 regarding the Technical Incident on Thaicom 5 Satellite, the specialist has made the recommendation that the Thaicom 5 Satellite shall be de-orbited because of the unsuccessful restoration after several attempts to restore the system.

After the last attempt to restore the system on 23 February 2020 and the system still could not be restored, it was, therefore, indispensable for THCOM to de-orbit the Thaicom 5 Satellite. The de-orbit was successfully done at 4.52 p.m. of 26 February 2020. THCOM recognized full impairment of the remaining book value of the Thaicom 5 Satellite of Baht 222 million in the financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2019.
