" tp. Nilesat satellites to the new FEC




Egyptian satellite operator Nilesat has changed the parameters FEC next four transponders on satellites Nilesat 101 and Nilesat 102 at 7W orbital position. In practice, in many cases this means przestrojenie receivers, as well as deterioration of reception in areas outside the core area (the countries of the Arab world).


Technical parameters:

11.823 GHz, pol. V, SR: 27500, FEC: 5 / 6
11.919 GHz, pol. H, SR: 27500, FEC: 5 / 6
12.015 GHz, pol. V, SR: 27500, FEC: 5 / 6
12.054 GHz, pol. V, SR: 27500, FEC: 5 / 6Previously, all 4 transponders are used with FEC: 3 / 4. FEC provides new value and possible extension of the multiplex, or other programs to improve the quality of programs currently available in the multiplex.

All transponders position 7W originally used the standard parameters: SR: 27500, FEC: 3 / 4. The first FEC transponders changed in June 2009"

Anybody noticed any difference?

I have noticed city7 has droped power from 55% to 45% and i can no longer get it, but i only have a 1.1m dish + TM6900 and could only get late afternoon and night time in clear weather anyway but i dont get at all now but i just put it down to weather.

Yes , big time.

Many transponders that were weak , do not appear now.

Many TPs are weaker now.

This is with a 2.4m dish in London.

The higher the FEC, the harder it is to lock onto weak signals. I've completely lost 11900V and 12054V, and now get bad pixellation on the others which were perfect before the change.
