Hi,
This satellite is intended for the European continent and North Africa.

Fifteen channels were received ten years ago and now not a single one is received

It provided many services and feeds. It was the main location for OCCA feeds (with CAF Confederations Cup coverture) and for more than a years secondary location for Startimes TV Uganda bouquet with Bundesliga FTA feed broadcasting main Saturday afternoon match
But things change
When satellite has been near to his end, its substitute (Eutelsat 5 West B) has been programmed totally different: covering above all France and Francophone part of Africa directly afferent to France (Algeria). So no more C-band stranponders but ku band and data service only on the very central part of Europe.
Atlantic Bird is still up with a small inclined orbit but all services has left it (it is still used by some operators with licence for brief tests).
Anyway its end is near.
Satisfied with your answer and my tension is gone
hI..There is lots of channels on 5West.. I pick up many French and Italian channels...You need a multi stream receiver to pick up these channels. Regards
Totally wrong. Ku band reception in Pakistan is I M P O S S I B L E
You need a multi stream receiver to pick up these channels. Regards
