Satellite Frequency Update October 24, 2026: 35 Verified Changes

Satellite Frequency Update — October 24, 2026

Welcome to the Satellite Frequency Update for Saturday, October 24, 2026 — the verified, no-hype roundup of transponder and frequency changes from the last 24 hours. Headline first: 35 verified records fell inside this slot's window (October 23, 09:30 → October 24, 09:30 PKT) — 20 new (11 TV channels + 9 radio services), 5 departures, and 10 parameter updates — across Hot Bird 13°E, Astra 28.2°E, Badr 8 26°E, Thor 6 1°W and ABS-3A 3°W. No BISS keys were officially issued in the window. As always: every record below was verified against KingOfSat or SatBeams — nothing invented, nothing padded.

🆕 New Channels & New Frequencies (Oct 23–24)

Eleven new TV entries logged in the window, plus a notable move. The day's signature story: a same-transponder swap on Astra 2F — 5 Select left 11305 H at 11:07 CET and 5 Drama appeared in the exact same slot (SID 2105) six minutes earlier — a straight rename/swap on the Sky mux, and Comedy Central HD UK moved from Astra 2G's 11141 H to Astra 2F's 11305 H the same morning.

KingOfSat's 23-October new-frequency batch (header 2026-10-23 19:22 CET) also logs new PIDs for nine radio services on Badr 8's 12149.20 H transponder (DVB-S2/8PSK, SR 27500, FEC 3/4, SBA package, Clear): Riyad Radio (SID 2621), Jedda Radio (SID 2622), Eurpean Radio (SID 2623 — spelling as logged by KingOfSat), Nedaa El Islam (SID 2624), Mowajhat (SID 2626), French (SID 2627), Pishto (SID 2628), Bangali (SID 2629) and Hona AlAzim (SID 2630).

🗺️ Current Frequency Landscape by Satellite

A compact recap of the neighbourhoods we track daily, with the latest verified state:

• Hot Bird 13°E (13F/13G): four RAI refreshes today — Italiana and Rai Storia on 10992 V; Rai Gulp HD and Rai News 24 on 11013 H — all FTA. Meanwhile TBN Russia left 11137.30 H overnight; delete that entry from your list.
• Astra 2F/2G · 28.2°E: the day's busiest UK swap — 11305 H now carries 5 Drama (SID 2105, Clear) and Comedy Central HD UK (SID 2119, VideoGuard); 5 Select and the old 11141 H Comedy Central slot are gone. Remember the Astra 2 UK spot beams are tight — check your footprint in South Asia.
• Badr 8 · 26°E: Sudan TV back on air in HD on 11842.30 H (Clear, FTA) plus nine new FTA radio PIDs on 12149.20 H. Strong MENA neighbourhood for Pakistan and the Middle East.
• Thor 6 · 1°W: the Hungarian/Slovak line-up refreshed across 12265 V (Direct One, Focus Sat, Digi TV) — Sorozatklub and Viasat Explore joined while AXN CE, AXN Crime, Moziklub, TLC Pan Regional and Viasat Explore East refreshed parameters. Rescan 12265 V and 12456 V to clear black screens.
• ABS-3A · 3°W: busy night — six new entries across the C-band (4157 H, GMA Pinoy TV) and Ku (11052 H, 11132 H, 11168 H) feeds, all HD HEVC. Skar TV simply moved from 11132 H (SID 4) to 11052 H (SID 1102).
• Astra 3C · 23.5°E: 4! Story TV left 12343.90 H — remove from your list; the Canál+ Classic/SkyLink line-up (SID 8019) reported yesterday is unaffected.
• Belintersat-1 · 51°E: no movement today — yesterday's 35-row DRE-Crypt bouquet rebuild (11290 H + 11350 H) holds. Subscription only.
• Intelsat 20 · 68.5°E: ten transponder-level changes logged, names pending — watch this neighbourhood over the weekend.

📺 FTA Picks Worth Scanning Today

• 5 Drama (UK) — 28.2°E, 11305 H — new Clear series channel (UK spot beam; footprint-dependent).
• Sudan TV — 26°E, 11842.30 H — FTA HD, Arabic. On air with fresh PIDs today.
• GMA Pinoy TV USA & Canada — 3°W, 4157 H (C-band) — FTA HD HEVC, Tagalog. New today.
• E-Networks Channel 2 / NTN — 3°W, 11052 H / 11168 H — FTA HD HEVC, English. New today.
• Nine Badr 8 radio services — 26°E, 12149.20 H — FTA radio (Arabic, Urdu/Pishto, Bengali and more). Great catch for radio fans.
• Rai Gulp HD / Rai News 24 — 13°E, 11013 H — refreshed FTA Italian channels, kids and news.

🔧 Tuning Tips for Today's Changes

• Astra 28.2°E: single-transponder scan 11305 H (SR 27500, FEC 2/3, DVB-S2/8PSK) to pick up 5 Drama and the moved Comedy Central HD UK. Delete the stale 5 Select and 11141 H entries first.
• Badr 8: scan 11842.30 H (SR 27500, FEC 5/6, DVB-S) for Sudan TV, and 12149.20 H (SR 27500, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2/8PSK) for the nine new radio services.
• Thor 6 1°W: scan 12265 V (SR 28000, FEC 7/8, DVB-S) and 12456 V (SR 30000, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2/8PSK) to refresh the Hungarian/Slovak lists.
• Hot Bird 13°E: scan 10992 V and 11013 H for the RAI refreshes; delete TBN Russia on 11137.30 H.
• ABS-3A 3°W: Ku-band single scans on 11052 H, 11132 H, 11168 H (SR 30000) and the C-band 4157 H (SR 45000) for today's six new entries.
• Moved ≠ deleted: before deleting a black-screen channel, check whether it re-appeared on a new transponder (today: Comedy Central HD UK and Skar TV). A quick frequency-table check saves you re-adding favorites later.

💡 Why the Same SID Re-Appears With a Different Channel Name

Today's Astra 2F shuffle is a textbook example of a pattern that confuses new receiver owners — so let's explain it once:

• SID reuse is normal. A SID (Service ID) is just a slot number on a multiplex. When 5 Select left 11305 H (SID 2105) at 11:07 CET and 5 Drama appeared on the same frequency with SID 2105 at 11:01 CET, the broadcaster simply reprogrammed the slot — a channel rename/rebrand executed as leave + launch six minutes apart.
• SID 4 → SID 1102 tells the same story on ABS-3A. Skar TV was deleted from 11132 H (SID 4) and a Skar TV appeared on 11052 H (SID 1102). Different slot, same channel — the receiver can't know it's the same brand, so you end up with a dead entry plus a live one.
• Don't trust names alone. Always verify by frequency + SID + PIDs. Trackers like KingOfSat flag the leave and the launch as separate rows — that is correct, not contradictory.
• Practical rule: when a favorite shows a black screen, check the latest tables before deleting anything — it probably moved, not vanished.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. What actually changed on October 24, 2026?

35 verified records: 20 new (11 TV channels + 9 radio services), 5 departures and 10 parameter updates. The standout events: 5 Drama replaced 5 Select on Astra 2F's 11305 H, Comedy Central HD UK moved from Astra 2G to Astra 2F, Sudan TV returned on Badr 8, and six new channels plus one departure shuffled across ABS-3A. LyngSat is on an announced update break (Oct 23–28), so all records are from KingOfSat and SatBeams.

2. Is 5 Drama free to watch?

KingOfSat flags 5 Drama as Clear on 11305 H. It rides the Astra 2 UK spot beam, which is footprint-dependent in South Asia — scan 11305 H (SR 27500, FEC 2/3) and see if your dish pulls it.

3. Why did Comedy Central HD UK disappear from 11141 H?

It didn't vanish — it moved to Astra 2F's 11305 H (SID 2119, VideoGuard). Delete the stale 11141 H entry and rescan 11305 H.

4. What happened to TBN Russia?

TBN Russia left Hot Bird 13G's 11137.30 H (DVB-S, SR 27500, FEC 3/4) overnight on October 24. No replacement has been logged — remove the entry from your channel list.

5. Are the new ABS-3A channels encrypted?

Mixed. GMA Pinoy TV, E-Networks Channel 2, Skar TV and NTN are FTA (all HD HEVC — you need an HEVC-capable box). Guyana Learning Channel Discover and MOE Central are Dreamcrypt-encrypted and need a valid subscription.

6. What does "updated" mean on a transponder bulletin?

It almost always means new PIDs (video/audio packet identifiers) on the same frequency. Your receiver caches the old PIDs, so the channel can show a black screen until you rescan that transponder. Today: four RAI channels on Hot Bird and six channels on Thor 6.

7. What's the story with Intelsat 20 at 68.5°E?

Ten transponder-level changes were logged with no channel names attached — carrier-level scanner sightings. Names usually follow within a few days; we will fold them into the next slots once identified.

8. Are any of today's changes BISS-key related?

No. No BISS or other official keys were issued in this window. The new items are FTA, standard subscription packages, or carrier-level changes — nothing here needs a key.
