Global update summary
The strongest activity was concentrated around 7–8°W, 13°E, 26°E, 28.2°E and 52–53°E. Europe also saw large bouquet migrations rather than purely new services.
The headline is not a single blockbuster launch, but a broad reshuffle: fresh FTA services in MENA and Africa, Pakistani additions on Paksat MM1, seasonal European channel identities, and several large platform exits.
MENA led FTA activity
Anigye TV, Sudan TV, OSM Health, OSM Wasit, Shehab TV, FR, Segenet Satellite TV, Kanon TV Sudan and Diwan TV were among the clearest launches or additions.
Europe reshuffled
New or seasonal identities included RMC Sport 1 HD, Italiana, Sky Halloween HD, QVC Christmas and 3+ Family, while large bouquets migrated or closed.
Asia gained focused additions
Paksat MM1 added four clearly parametered services on 3845 H, while 52°E and 53°E added Persian-language channels and test services.

Open questions
Several LyngSat ticker-only additions lacked a confirmed mux page. Those names are not promoted to the main table. Conflicting records are called out rather than resolved by guesswork.

Showing all parameter groups.
Recently changed or discontinued
Departure dates refer to the monitored satellite position, not necessarily the closure of a broadcaster.
Major platform exits
- Hot Bird 13°E · 04 Oct: a 21-channel German/Swiss/Austrian bouquet left 11095.9 H, including 3+ HD, ORF services, RTL Schweiz, ProSieben Schweiz, Servus TV HD, TV24 HD and TV25 HD.

Named departures & replacements
- 8°W: Melody Zaman, Melody Cinema, Melody Mosalsalat, Drama Pro and Layaly El Madeh left on 07 Oct.
- 28.2°E: Sky Transformers HD gave way to Sky Halloween HD; Sky 5* Movies HD gave way to Sky Animation HD; QVC Extra was replaced by QVC Christmas.

- 46°E: Kameme TV HD, K24, TV E Tanzania HD and Lagos TV left during September.
FTA availability & regional reception
A listed FTA service is unencrypted at the checked transponder, but reception still depends on beam footprint, dish size, weather, local obstructions and receiver compatibility.
Best FTA clusters in this update
- 26°E: Anigye TV, Jordan Sport HD and Sudan TV.
- 7–8°W: OSM Health, OSM Wasit, Al Forat, Shehab TV, FR, Diwan TV, Segenet and Kanon TV Sudan.
- 38°E: new Paksat MM1 services on 3845 H; the Geo network mixes FTA and Conax services.
- 52–53°E: Persian-language additions and MENASAT tests.
Important reception cautions
- C-band vs Ku-band: Paksat MM1 3845 H, Thaicom 6 4120 H and Azerspace-1 4003 V require C-band equipment.
- DVB-S2 / H.265: older MPEG-2-only receivers may lock the carrier but show no picture.
- T2-MI: Italiana at 5°W includes a T2-MI path; not every consumer receiver can decode it.
- Encrypted listings: VideoGuard, Nagravision, Viaccess, Panaccess, Conax and VeriMatrix services require authorized access.
How to scan and organize new channels
Menu names vary by receiver, but the underlying workflow is consistent.
- Choose the correct satellite.
Confirm orbital position, LNB type and switch/DiSEqC port before entering a transponder. - Enter the transponder exactly.
Add frequency, polarization and symbol rate. Use the listed FEC when the receiver does not support Auto. - Match the transmission mode.
Select DVB-S or DVB-S2 and the correct modulation where your receiver exposes that option. - Check signal quality, not only strength.
Strong level with zero quality often indicates the wrong satellite, polarization or LNB setting. - Run a network or transponder scan.
Use a transponder scan for precision; network scan can discover linked frequencies but may add duplicates. - Label results by date and access.
Separate FTA, encrypted, test and temporary/seasonal channels. Recheck flapping services before deleting old entries.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the issues most likely to affect a fresh scan.
Does “new” always mean a brand-new broadcaster?
No. This report separates genuine launches from channels newly added to a satellite, returned after an absence, moved to another transponder, or temporarily rebranded.
Why are some technical fields marked N/A?
The monitoring source did not provide a reliably confirmed value. N/A is preferable to guessing a SID, FEC, codec or frequency.
Can I watch every FTA channel listed here?
Not necessarily. FTA means unencrypted, but the satellite beam must cover your location and your dish, LNB and receiver must support the band and transmission standard.
Why does a DVB-S2 channel lock but show no video?
The receiver may not support the video codec, often H.265/HEVC, or the service may be encrypted despite a valid carrier lock.
Should I use blind scan or manual scan?
Manual transponder scan is faster and cleaner for a known change. Blind scan is useful when hunting unknown carriers but often creates duplicate services.
Are seasonal names permanent?
Usually not. Sky Halloween HD, QVC Christmas and similar identities may revert or be replaced after the relevant season.
Why can KingOfSat and LyngSat disagree?
They rely on reception monitoring that can be updated at different times. Short-lived tests and flapping channels are especially prone to conflicting status reports.
Sources & verification notes
All source pages were read on 11 October 2026. The source date attached to each record comes from the monitoring database.
Primary monitoring sources
Internal reading
Verification note: No individual broadcaster press releases were found for these launches. The report relies on KingOfSat and LyngSat reception reports. Channel availability can change without notice.
Conclusion: Across the five monitored regions, October’s satellite picture is defined by steady regional FTA growth alongside aggressive bouquet reorganization. Rescan only the relevant transponders, retain old entries until a change is stable, and use authorized subscriptions for encrypted services.
