• Good evening, I have just done a search on the Astra 3b satellite and as I have already picked up two frequencies once with a very weak signal at the limit where when doing the search I now pick up 3 frequencies with a good signal for the 1st time I think they switched to the Astra 5B because they have same signal strength that I received when it was at 31.5 E.:73:

    12.032H

    12.168V

    12.363V

    Edited once, last by duck77 (November 29, 2023 at 1:48 PM).

  • Today first 3 tp was switched from Astra 3B to Astra 5B. During december all tp will move to Astra 5B from 3B.

    12032H West beam

    12168V West beam

    12363V East beam

    For me, good level as before. Little difference between east and west beam within 1-2dB.

  • It is hard to distinguish signal strength between the two spots in Europe (Wide and Ku).

    Scan today on the two polarities and the one in August 2023.

    Changed the title of the thread from “23.5°E Astra 5B” to “23.5°E Astra 3C”.
  • In der vergangenen Nacht wurden offfenbar etlche Transponder vom 3B auf den 3C umgelegt.
    Das betrifft: 11778V, 11919 H, 11954 H, 12071 H, 12110 H, 12188 H, 12344 H.
    Diverse niederländische und tschechischeTV Programme und Radios wurden im Blindscan vom CT 4100+ als TV Programme eingelesen ohne Kennung und ohne Verschlüsselung.
    Man hörte nur den Ton, ein stabiles Signal war nicht zu bekommen.

    Heute ist wieder alles verschlüsselt nur die als TV Programme eingelesenen Radios sind noch offen.

    Last night, a number of transponders from 3B were apparently transferred to 3C.

    This applies to: 11778V, 11919 H, 11954 H, 12071 H, 12110 H, 12188 H, 12344 H.

    Various Dutch and Czech TV programs and radios were read in blindly by the CT 4100+ as TV programs without identification and without encryption.

    You only heard the tone, you couldn't get a stable signal.

    Today everything is encrypted again, only the radios read in as TV programs are still open.

  • Good morning N_Stanislav, I tested it yesterday when I saw satdxer's post

    and I don't have any signal, only on the 3 frequencies that I mentioned in my post. I've been checking every day if I see any changes I'll post them on the forum. :73:

  • Hi, I did this scan a few minutes ago and all the frequencies that are locked are from the Astra 3C because I can't pick up the Astra 3B.
