  • Channel 5 moves satellite multiplex

    From NY@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 6 15:37:00 2022
    For those people whose TVs and PVRs don't auto-scan every night to pick
    up changes, Channel 5 (SD and HD) and related channels 5 USA. 5 Star and
    5 Select have moved from 10964H to 11307H, as described in https://rxtvinfo.com/2022/sky-migrates-viewers-to-new-channel-5-frequency

    I wonder why they have done it - unless it's to change how much of
    Europe is covered by the signal.

    According to this article https://rxtvinfo.com/2022/channel-5-satellite-transponder-change
    they are changing satellite operators, from SES to Arqiva. Presumably
    getting a better deal.

    All the actual satellites at 28.2°E belong to SES.

    Maybe it's a change to who owns and/or runs the uplink equipment.
