Vivacom Hot Bird@ 13° E

[ahaladjian80]

On 45e it covers most of all european countries, on hotbird are u saying that will it covers only those countries only ?

 

[lucoil]

Cyprus is near to greece

If you don't have a signal now, you'll probably need a bigger antenna. Wait until the test period is over and if they don't move the coverage move to a bigger antenna.

 

[ahaladjian80]

U mean they might increase the signal after test period is over?
I have 1,3m on a rotor and last time i've checked was couple of weeks and i couldnt get any signal

 

[lucoil]

It's unlikely that the coverage will be changed but it doesn't hurt to wait to see what kind of antenna you'll need

 

[ahaladjian80]

It that case i will wait. Do u know when test period will finishes?

Something like this

I see the footprint , cyprus is not in coverage which means it wont get any signal

Yes it is, or you have to put a big antenna of 2 meters or more

we are talking here about 13°E txp on Hotbird:
12616 H
12634 V
12654 H
12673 V
12713 V

12616 H 30000
12634 V 30000
12654 H 30000
12673 V 30000
12713 V 30000

All working in Belgium with 90 cm. dish. (Edision mio 4K)

 

[ahaladjian80]

How come i will need 2m dish or higher ?
In greece what size will need to pick it up?
I have 1,3m

 

[barney115]

It will not matter what size dish you have if Beam is outside your Location
i have a 2m dish and even if i had 6 meter i STILL will have ZERO % Signal
Do not listen to the BS telling you that you need a bigger dish , that's simply utter sh1te talking
from people that are clearly clueless about Beam location/s
@ahaladjian80 you are exactly the same as myself whenever tests began month ago
it started with a signal and beam possible for almost everyone or a big majority
Vivacom decided to vastly reduce their Subscriber base and make beam impossible for many
They clearly wish to massively reduce the subscriber base which is a big sign that those Bulgarian channels are only on Satellite on a very limited Temp.basis and are highly likely to move to Streaming via Fiber optic in the very near future much like Sky UK and Freesat have been planning for a few years .

100 cm I never seen a level so high meddly of Italy. I noted with a different polarization (H) are lower about 15.93/16.00 db instead for vertical pol. a little bit higher 16.15/16.75 db
of course depends by software and tuners, these are not measurement with professional equipments but I think highest dish size doesn't impact on zero signal. I'm suppposing that you have correct satellites.xml just in case this is my last one if you want to try

 

[ahmed202444]

dish >> 174cm

Country >> Libya ... North Africa

 

[ahaladjian80]

U have 2 m dish?

 

[Adriatic22]

I see the footprint , cyprus is not in coverage which means it wont get any signal

No one asked, but what are the signals with other transponders on 13E in Cyprus. Probably the beam, or coverage zone, is directed differently with the Vivacom transponders. Can you watch Vivacom from Intelsat 38, on 45E and how are signals in your zone.

 

[ahaladjian80]

On 45e with 1m i get strong sigbal

 

[ahaladjian80]

The other transponders are all ok only this package is not working

It’s seem to be something like this. A tightly focused beam on that area for the Vivacom Hotbird frequencies. Reviewing the signal level that other users report, signal drops dramatically when it’s received a little bit far from the focused area.
Vivacom signals on 45°E and 39°E are on a wide Europe beam, and for an example, here in Madrid (Spain) with a 80cm both satellites are received without problems, (but Hotbird Vivacom signals not).
In Spain many Bulgarian communities receive this Bulgarian package via Intelsat 45°E or Hellas 39°E. Probably Vivacom is now interested on a narrow tight beam for local users, and for the audience out of the coverage of this spot force to use Vivacom signal on Hellas 39°E.
I was trying to get some info about this in official sites of Vivacom or Eutelsat but nothing is published yet.

 

[lucoil]

Vivacom will stop the signal within a few months from 45E, only 13E and 39E will remain
