⚡ Quick Answer
The last 48 hours were quiet on the frequency charts — only 3 genuinely new changes were verified and none of them duplicate this morning’s BISS update. The headline: Sky Halloween HD has launched on Astra 2F (28.2°E) on 12285.00 V, taking over the slot vacated by Sky Transformers HD — a separate pop-up swap from the Sky Sci-Fi change reported this morning. Meanwhile the 14-service Times Group bouquet on Intelsat 20 (68.5°E) was fully re-scanned with an updated mux listing. No free-to-air changes were recorded in the window; all three records are encrypted services.
📋 In This Update
Sky Halloween HD In, Sky Transformers HD Out — One Slot, One Swap
KingOfSat’s October 10 log records Sky Halloween HD as a new DVB-S2 service on 12285.00 V (symbol rate 27500, FEC 2/3, SID 6033), broadcasting in VideoGuard. On the same day, Sky Transformers HD left that exact slot — the classic Sky seasonal pop-up rotation, with the Halloween brand taking over the Transformers channel’s place.
Do not confuse this with the separate swap reported in this morning’s BISS update: that one (Sky Scifi/Horror HD → Sky Sci-Fi HD) happened on SID 3817 of the same 12285 V transponder. This is a different service ID (6033) and a different change — and it had not been covered on this blog before today.
Times Group’s 14-Channel Bouquet Refreshed on 68.5°E
KingOfSat’s additions/changes page logged a full mux-level update dated October 11 for the Times Group bouquet on Intelsat 20: 14 services (Times Now, ZOOM, ET Now, Movies Now, MN+, Romedy Now, Mirror Now, Times Now World, MNX HD, Movies Now HD, Times Now City, MNX SD, ET Now Swadesh, Times Now Navbharat HD) on 3974 H, symbol rate 22500, FEC 8/9, DVB-S2 8PSK, encrypted in Irdeto 2 (NID 1, TSID 3, SIDs 11–24). The complete lineup was cross-confirmed service-by-service on LyngSat’s Intelsat 20 page (updated October 10).
One honest caveat: LyngSat lists the mux at 3974 H, while older KingOfSat channel histories for the same Times multiplex show 3975 H — a 1 MHz difference. The 3974 H figure is used here because it is the current value on LyngSat’s up-to-date page. The source did not detail per-service changes, so this is reported as a mux-level update, not as 14 individual channel changes.
All 3 Changes in One Table
Every record below is dated October 10–11, 2026 on KingOfSat (Times Group cross-confirmed on LyngSat). Fields the source did not supply are marked N/A — nothing is guessed.
| Channel / Bouquet | Position | Transponder | SID | Status | Encryption |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sky Halloween HD | 28.2°E | 12285.00 V · 27500 · 2/3 | 6033 | new (seasonal pop-up) | VideoGuard |
| Sky Transformers HD | 28.2°E | 12285.00 V · 27500 · 2/3 | 6033 | left (slot taken by Halloween HD) | VideoGuard |
| Times Group bouquet (14 services) | 68.5°E | 3974 H · 22500 · 8/9 | 11–24 | mux updated (Oct 11) | Irdeto 2 |
What Readers Should Do
- ✅ Sky 28.2°E viewers: rescan 12285.00 V to swap the dead Sky Transformers HD entry for Sky Halloween HD. Both are VideoGuard-encrypted — the pop-up needs a valid Sky subscription.
- ✅ 68.5°E viewers: run a single-transponder scan on 3974 H (SR 22500, FEC 8/9) to refresh all 14 Times Group services; authorized Irdeto 2 hardware is required for viewing.
- ✅ Everyone else: nothing to change — no FTA additions or departures were recorded in this window, so yesterday’s channel lists stay valid.
🔍 Why Only 3 Records?
This update targets a minimum of 15 verified records per slot, but the October 10–12 window was genuinely quiet across all 22 orbital positions checked — and 1BissKey does not invent records to fill a quota. Most in-window activity (RMC Life going FTA, the Sky Sci-Fi swap, 53°E departures, Imam Ali’s move) was already published in this morning’s 8:00 AM BISS update and is excluded here by duplicate prevention. Three real records beat fifteen padded ones.
Final Verdict
A quiet 48 hours, honestly reported: Sky’s Halloween pop-up takes a new slot on 28.2°E, the Times Group bouquet gets a fresh mux listing on 68.5°E, and everything else holds steady. Three verified records, zero invented ones, zero FTA changes. If you run a quick rescan on the two affected transponders, your channel lists will match today’s reality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sky Halloween HD free-to-air?
No. It broadcasts encrypted in VideoGuard on Astra 2F (28.2°E), so it needs a valid Sky subscription — same as every other Sky channel on this transponder.
What happened to Sky Transformers HD?
It left 12285.00 V (SID 6033) on October 10, 2026, and Sky Halloween HD launched on the exact same slot the same day. This is Sky’s normal seasonal pop-up rotation — expect another swap when the Halloween season ends.
Is this the same change as this morning’s Sky Sci-Fi swap?
No. This morning’s report covered Sky Scifi/Horror HD → Sky Sci-Fi HD on SID 3817. Today’s swap is Transformers HD → Halloween HD on SID 6033 — a different channel on a different service ID of the same 12285 V transponder.
Which channels are in the Times Group bouquet on 68.5°E?
Fourteen services: Times Now, ZOOM, ET Now, Movies Now, MN+, Romedy Now, Mirror Now, Times Now World, MNX HD, Movies Now HD, Times Now City, MNX SD, ET Now Swadesh and Times Now Navbharat HD — all on 3974 H (SR 22500, FEC 8/9, Irdeto 2).
Why do some sources say 3974 H and others 3975 H?
LyngSat’s current Intelsat 20 page lists the Times mux at 3974 H, while older KingOfSat channel histories show 3975 H — a 1 MHz difference. Use 3974 H (the current value); modern receivers with automatic carrier detection lock either way.
How do I rescan after these changes?
Open your receiver’s installation menu, choose a manual transponder scan (not a full blind scan), enter the exact frequency, polarization, symbol rate and FEC from the table above, and scan. Delete dead entries (like Sky Transformers HD) afterwards to keep the list clean.
