Well it looks like this bird is almost up to full power now ive been testing it on my 1.25 and 1.8 dishes here is South Devon,Iam happy to report the signal is coming in nice and strong on my 1.25. Iam able to scan in every channel as far as can see,channels like tring are now stronger and have gone from 84% to 99% on my 1.25 dish the lowest transponder ive found is 10803 H dvb-s this is coming in at 75% on the 1.25 and 90% on the 1.8. I would be interested in other peoples signal reports on this new satellite thanks

for those having trouble picking up this satellite it's now located at 15.5 east and as such you may need to adjust your setup a little with the addition of a new satellites.xml file as well.

you should be able to use the satellites.xml merge trick to lock onto all satellites within the 16 east range ( 15.5 / 15.8 16.0 ) from on location. other wise if you use a newly generated satellites.xml file from

http://satellites-xml.eu/

it will be shown as 3 separate satellites from 3 separate locations as they have split these 3 into separate locations.

I believe Eutelsat W3C it being slotted into 16e so i personally would hold fire on adjusting your setup, Eutelsat W2M is being redeployed Eutelsat Sesat may be turned off and i believe Eurobird 16A will be put into an inclined orbit and used for feeds
