Mux re-scans Oct 21

Verified

Welcome to today's satellite frequency update for Wednesday, October 21, 2026. Honest reporting first: the transponder scan feeds were quiet overnight — no new named frequency moves appeared on KingOfSat between yesterday's check and this morning's, and SatBeams' October 21 bulletin had not yet been published at the time of writing. The only genuinely new items in the overnight feed are four routine mux re-scan confirmations dated 2026-10-21 — no channels added, moved, or removed. Everything named that changed in the last 24 hours (72 records — a new Halloween channel on Astra 1P, the flapping Movistar+ bouquet, Polish departures on Hot Bird, the Belintersat-1 transponder consolidation, Thor updates) was fully documented in this morning's BISS slot research. This post gives you the overnight scan status, the full current frequency landscape refreshed with yesterday's verified records, fresh FTA picks, and tuning tips.

Quiet-day note: This is a genuine quiet scan day — no invented records, no padding. If you need the full 24-hour channel picture (new launches, departures, the Movistar+ same-day flip-flop, Belintersat-1 consolidation), see yesterday's BISS Daily Update — today's equivalent 72-record roundup is being prepared in the next slot. We report quiet days honestly instead of inventing changes.

Overnight Mux Scan Status — October 21, 2026

Four mux-level re-scans were newly dated 2026-10-21 on KingOfSat (feed header: "Most recent updates: 2026-10-20 23:46 CET"). One is a first-time sighting, three are re-dated confirmations of already-listed muxes. All are routine confirmations — no named channels, no additions, moves, or departures attached, no action needed:

Mux record	NID / TSID	Status	Dated
TS SIS-CCM 49.2 Mb/s — BetaDigital	NID 133 / TSID 2	New sighting	2026-10-21
TS SIS-CCM 53.2 Mb/s	NID 2 / TSID 2016	Re-dated re-scan	2026-10-21
TS SIS-CCM 53.2 Mb/s	NID 2 / TSID 2021	Re-dated re-scan	2026-10-21
TS SIS-CCM 53.2 Mb/s	NID 2 / TSID 2032	Re-dated re-scan	2026-10-21

NID 2 / TSID 2016 and 2021 were previously dated 2026-10-19; NID 2 / TSID 2032 was dated 2026-10-20. Re-dating is normal overnight re-scan behavior, not a channel change.

Dish Tuning Tips

Parameter	What to Check
Satellite position	Select the correct orbital slot first — even 0.5° off can lose the signalTip: 42°E Türksat and 51°E Belintersat-1 are close together — peak carefully if you chase both
Frequency	Enter the exact downlink frequency — broadcasters shift frequencies without noticeTip: after a tp consolidation (like Belintersat-1 11290H to 11250H), rescan the new frequency rather than editing old entries
Polarization	Horizontal (H) or Vertical (V) — a wrong setting gives zero signal, not a weak one
Symbol rate	Must match exactly — a wrong SR means no lock even with the right frequencyTip: high-SR muxes like 45000 on Belintersat-1 need a receiver that handles wide transponders
DVB-S vs DVB-S2	Check your receiver supports the standard — most 2026 transponders are DVB-S2Tip: KABLO INFO HD is plain DVB-S — any HD receiver locks it; Belarus 24 needs DVB-S2
Blind scan	Run a blind scan after big reshuffles to catch new and moved channels automatically

Frequently Asked Questions

Why were there zero new named frequency moves today?

Overnight the scan feeds showed only routine mux re-confirmations — the same transport streams re-scanned with new date stamps and no channel changes attached. The named activity of the last 24 hours (72 records) all landed during October 20 and were reported in this morning's BISS slot. Quiet scan nights are normal; we report them honestly instead of inventing changes.

What is a mux-level re-scan, and should I do anything about it?

A re-scan is a database re-confirming that a transport stream (identified by its NID/TSID) is still broadcasting as expected — like a census check, not a channel change. Today's four re-scans (including a first-time sighting of the BetaDigital 49.2 Mb/s stream, NID 133 / TSID 2) carried no named channels, so no receiver action is needed.

What does "SIS-CCM" mean in the scan records?

SIS-CCM = Single Illumination System using Constant Coding & Modulation. It is a broadcast mode where one carrier serves both direct-to-home and distribution feeds with a fixed modulation scheme. The NID (Network ID) and TSID (Transport Stream ID) numbers next to it are the mux's serial numbers — receivers and scan tools use them to tell multiplexes apart.

Why did the Movistar+ channels appear and disappear twice on 12705.90 V?

The same 14-service bouquet appeared and vanished on Astra 1P's 12705.90 V four times across October 18–20 — textbook "flapping" behavior. It reads as bouquet-move testing (or a blind-scan database artifact during KingOfSat's ongoing system transition) rather than a stable launch. Do not retune your receiver to a flapping transponder; wait until the channels stay up for at least 48 hours.

What is a transponder consolidation?

When an operator moves services from one frequency to another and clears the old one — exactly what happened on Belintersat-1 51°E on October 20, where services migrated from 11290H to 11250H (same SIDs, renamed slightly, e.g. "Plus Russia" to "+TV") and the old transponder was cleared. If your receiver still lists the old transponder, delete it and scan the new one.

How often should I run a blind scan?

After any big reshuffle (a bouquet move, a seasonal swap like Sky's Halloween channels, or a transponder consolidation), run a blind scan on the affected satellite. Otherwise, once a month is plenty for most viewers — this daily update tells you exactly when a scan is worth your time.

Is it legal to watch the FTA channels listed here?

Yes. FTA (Free-To-Air) channels are broadcast unencrypted and are legal to receive with any compatible dish and receiver. Encrypted channels require a legitimate subscription — this blog never publishes unauthorized decryption keys.
