the satback service (only 10 channels, mainly bbc) will soon be Intelsat 901 at the same location, 27.5w...but no one knows what its reception will be like, ie the same or worse or better

 

[Hydrocell]

Thanks for that

It seems that Intelsat 907 is now Intelsat 901. Reports on various forums suggest all specs are the same.
Reports say 10% stronger signal.
I have not tested as my best kit is in Portugal, I am shielded in UK, I may have a go soon on Oyster before the trees grow too much.

Thanks for the information. I'm interested to read what changes have been made and if any modifications/adjustments have to be made. Or is it just a case of tuning in to 901.
Thanks Frank

Re I907 and I901: any changes are guesswork and speculation (for example lyngsat and flysay says channels have moved over to I901, kingofsat says most are still on I907, but these are sourced by users) , nothing has been officially released by Intelsat, which given the uniqueness of the operation, should happen. But if the change has happened then the reports I have seen are that no one has seen any reception differences...yet.
No need to change anything or realign or rescan anything... same frequency, same location, same code required to hack into it....

King of Sat are always miles behind. They are still listing ITV West Central!

Official press release from Intelsat yesterday ( LINK ) say services started to move from I907 to I901 on 2nd April.
Until then it was all speculation as to what had moved over and when.
But the signals seem to be pretty much the same, so no need to do or change anything at the receiver side of things
