Broadcasting Analysis: Service Status
Between June 25 and June 28, 2026, the satellite landscape experienced significant shifts. A highlight of this period was the increased Free-To-Air (FTA) availability on Hellas Sat 4 (39°E), where a suite of networks—including Rai 1, Rai 2, RTSH Sport, and Mediaset Italia—transitioned to unencrypted status. Similarly, the 26°E orbital position saw beIN Box Office 1, Alkass Five HD, Al Wathaeqya, Taabeaa, and Almajd Kids become accessible to FTA audiences.
As part of the evolving ecosystem, we must also note several service departures. The following channels have officially ceased transmissions within the European footprint:
- Manoto 1 (Al Yah 1, 52.5°E)
- Iran International (Al Yah 1, 52.5°E)
- BBC Persian HD (Hot Bird 13G)
- Radionorba TV (Hot Bird 13G)
Additionally, Star Movies Slovenia has appeared on Eutelsat 36D (36°E), further diversifying the content available on that arc.
Final Recommendations
Signal reception can vary significantly based on your geographic location and the precision of your dish alignment. If you encounter signal degradation, take a moment to fine-tune your setup. For the best results, a full blind scan remains the most effective method to capture all changes accurately.
