The following info was posted on the other forum by william-1:
Hotbird-6 / Hotbird 13A now called Eutelsat 8 West C @ 8° West looks like it may have replaced Nilesat 102 @ the 7 to 8 west slot,
11900 V 27500
11938 V 27500
12034 H 27500 New for 100cm reception in South East of England
12053 V 27500
12130 V 27500
12148 H 27500 New for 100cm reception in South East of England
12207 V 27500
12225 H 27500 New for 100cm reception in South East of England
12283 V 27500
These transponders may have moved to Nilesat 201 or are on reduced power on Eutelsat 8 West C @ 8° West
11919 H 27500
11996 H 27500
12073 H 27500
================================= ================================= ====
Nilesat 102 @ 7 west
These transpnders are still assigned to Nilesat 102 so what I observed over the week end was just some testing,
strange that 12034 H 27500 from Nilesat 201 was a strong signal ?

x = no signals atm.

12034 H = Nothing @ 7 west but move the dish to 7.3 to 7.5 west & I get 40% Signal Qualty (100cm Gibrtini dish TM5302HD Inverto Black Ultra 0.2 Lnb) so the transponder is not on Nilesat 201or 102 & maybe on ?

Nothing @ 7.8 west for 12034 H so it's not EW8A or EW8C that only leaves EW7A @ 7.3 west
Just goes to show that the satellite charts can be wrong.
