From the end of August this year. The capacity of the Eutelsat Hot Bird satellite fleet is reused for contributions (including feeds from DSNG satellite vehicles and satellite fiber optic signal turnaround).
Over the past 15 years, the satellite fleet at 13 ° East has become synonymous with the capacity used by commercial operators of DTH (direct-to-home) services. This position is used by the Polish Polsat Box, CANAL + platform and Orange Polska. On foreign platforms, the 13 ° E position is used by Greek Nova, Italian Sky Italia or Swiss SRG-SSR and Kabelio. Hot Bird satellites also include a dozen multiplexes with FTA channels from around the world.
The operators of such services usually use the entire transponder capacity (36 MHz) in the form of a single multiplex with a symbol rate of 27500 kS / s to 30,000 kS / s.
Eutelsat appears to have decided to donate two of its unused transponders to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) contribution remittances. Thus, the multiplexes broadcast with low SR returned to the position of 13 ° E (feeders with speeds from 7.2 to 9.7 MS / s were observed).
We are talking about transponders No. 98 and 100 of the Eutelsat Hot Bird 13C satellite. From August 30, 2021, you can observe temporary EBU contributions.
Parameters of EBU transfers on Hot Bird

The above transmissions are secured by the BISS system. They will be used by the EBU to broadcast matches from the FIFA 2022 World Cup qualifiers (CAF eliminations). For example, tomorrow (September 1, 2021) on the channel with ID "Fi05 FRAMP" the game of Guinea-Bissau vs Guinea will be broadcast. The EBU partner, the French company AMP Visual TV, is responsible for broadcasting the matches.
Contributory messages at 13 ° East are not new. At one time, this position was used by Polsat Television for broadcasts from the reality shows "Dwa Swiaty" and "Bar". Polish Television also used Hot Bird to transmit the common band of TVP Regionalna to its local centers.
