BBC Persian (UK)

Eutelsat W2M

11472V
27500 2/3

FTA programming transmitting in Persian for the Iranian market. Started here due to intense jamming being carried out by Iranian authorities which has been disrupting the Hotbird transmission

Will an 88cm dish pick up 3.1E up in Hull?

Wife been reduced to watching BBC Persian online since the Hotbird broadcast was tampered with!!!
She'd be a little happier if I can scan this one in.

Never heard of a satellite @ 3.1E, is that a new one?

Its the wonky Eutelsat W2M. She suffered a power failure during the drift from In Orbit Testing, but has enough life left in her for limited service.

Shes been fired up at 3.1 E for feeds and occasional broadcast use.

You shouldnt have any problem at all with an 88cm dish - if its not raining i can just about get some of the tests on my 5E dish! Now thinking of adding another dish to my already extensive setup specifically for 3.1E
