Hi
can anyone help I always used to get a good strong signal on 16East but today when I selected this sat from my menu I couldn't get any signal using the setting I have always had?
19-2 east (astra1) and 13 East (hotbird) are both ok?
I haven't used this sat for a while has something changed??
I have 1metre dish(have always) my original longditude setting(1390) has always worked in the past??
But now no signal at all???

Hello,
This satellite slot is occupied by 3 satellites;
Eutelsat Sesat 1 & Eurobird 16 & Eutelsat W2M at 15.8°E

One of them is nearing the end of its life and is in an inclined orbit (figure 8 orbit).
This makes it visiable at certain times and not so visible at other times.
It was due to be replaced but the replacement satellite crashed.

If you have an x y positioner you can still track it.
