PowerVu Status November 9, 2026: Quiet Bulletin or Lost Signal?

PowerVu Status November 9, 2026: Three Days of Silence — Quiet Bulletin or Lost Signal?

RTP International joined Telstar 12V on November 6, and since then the bulletins have gone quiet — three days, zero new PowerVu rows. When a transponder stops changing, readers ask the same question every time: is nothing happening, or has my dish lost the signal? This status check answers it. It records exactly what the November 9 bulletins show, keeps the current 12666H table in one place, and walks through a five-step diagnostic that separates a quiet bulletin from a lost signal in a few minutes.

Short version: no new PowerVu service started, left, or changed encryption in the November 9 window. KingOfSat's Monday 9 November section is empty at 09:00 UTC, its Sunday 8 November section holds six records with zero PowerVu rows, and the SatBeams 9-Nov-26 bulletin had not been published at 09:01 UTC. The last change remains RTP International joining 12666H on November 6 at 23:53 UTC. The 12666H table still holds Colors on SID 114 and RTP International on SID 137, and the wider Telstar 12V baseline of 43 rows is unchanged. No keys are published here.

Quick answer

Nothing new started on PowerVu on November 9. Checked at 09:00 UTC, KingOfSat's Monday 9 November section exists but is empty — the day's logging had not begun — and its Sunday 8 November section holds six records, none of them PowerVu. The SatBeams 8-Nov-26 bulletin, fully reviewed in our November 9 morning slot, holds five rows and none of them is PowerVu. The SatBeams 9-Nov-26 bulletin did not exist at check time: the page returned 404, confirmed in the live browser at 09:01 UTC. A text search for "PowerVu" across the whole KingOfSat page returns exactly two matches — the RTP International start of November 6 and the Colors start of November 5 — both already covered in this blog's November 7 and November 5 posts. Three quiet days in a row is the result, and the rest of this article explains how to read it — and how to prove your own dish is not the reason for the silence.

The November 9 status check

Here is exactly what the bulletins showed at 09:00 UTC on November 9, 2026. KingOfSat's Sunday 8 November section has six records: OSN Yahala starting in Nagravision 3 and VeriMatrix on Eutelsat 7 West A 12168.40V (SID 4509, Arabic), Injaz TV starting in the clear on the same satellite's 12398.60V (SID 7670, Arabic), Cosmote Pop Up HD returning on Eutelsat 9B 12168.80H (VideoGuard, SID 1052) while Magenta Cinema 007 left the same transponder, IITV HD leaving Express AM6 12594.40V (SID 13), and Allente's Kuukauden kanava leaving Thor 6 10934.60V (SID 17084). The Saturday 7 November section holds 24 records — Sky Batman HD replacing Sky Bourne HD on Astra 2F, beIN Sports Xtra 3, 8 and 9 going encrypted in Irdeto 2 and VideoGuard on Es'hail 2, seven new free-to-air channels on Eutelsat 7 West A 12398.60V, and four Disney and Fox channels leaving Türksat 4A — and again, not one PowerVu row among them. The SatBeams 8-Nov-26 bulletin holds five rows across 42°E, 108°E and 124°E: two free-to-air HD channels deleted from Türksat 6A 12111V (Alikhbaria Syria, SID 50559, and Neo, SID 50558), Niaga TV updated on Telkom 4 3745H (SID 769), Rodja TV updated on Telkom 4 3824H (SID 16), and TBN Pacific updated on JCSat 4B 12282H (SID 330). Every one of them is free-to-air, and the bulletin has no 15°W section at all, so no Telstar row of any kind. The SatBeams 9-Nov-26 bulletin returning 404 at 09:01 UTC means it had not been published yet — the same pattern as the 8-Nov-26 bulletin yesterday morning, which appeared later in the day. In short, both bulletins agree that the PowerVu picture did not move.

Three days of silence: the timeline

Read the week's bulletin rows together and the quiet has a clear start point. Three changes landed on one transponder between November 4 and 6, and nothing has followed since:

Date (UTC)	Event	Service	SID / PIDs
Nov 4, 23:30	Left the transponder	TV Asia	114 / 7713, 7714
Nov 5, 02:57	Started (replacement)	Colors (India)	114 / 7713, 7714
Nov 6, 23:53	Started (addition)	RTP International (Portugal)	137 / 5393, 5394
Nov 7	No PowerVu rows	—	—
Nov 8	No PowerVu rows	—	—
Nov 9 (09:00 UTC)	No PowerVu rows yet	—	—

The first two rows are a straight swap: TV Asia left late on November 4 and Colors started on the exact same SID and PIDs in the early hours of November 5, barely three and a half hours apart. The third row, almost two days later, is an addition: RTP International started on a fresh SID, 137, with its own PIDs, 5393 and 5394, so the transponder now carries two live PowerVu services where it carried one before. Then the sequence stops. November 7, 8 and 9 add no rows at all — the first three-day quiet stretch since the rework began. A rework that ends in silence usually means the bouquet has settled, not that the satellite has failed, and the diagnostic below is how you confirm which one it is.

The 12666H table as it stands now

Here is the current state of the transponder that carried the week's changes. Both rows are Anuvu, both are DVB-S2 PowerVu, and both share frequency, polarisation, symbol rate and FEC — only the service identity differs.

Service	SID	Video PID	Audio PID	Language	Status
Colors (India)	114	7713 (MPEG-4)	7714 (AAC)	Hindi	Started Nov 5, 02:57 UTC
RTP International (Portugal)	137	5393 (MPEG-4)	5394 (AAC)	Portuguese	Started Nov 6, 23:53 UTC

Transponder for both rows: Telstar 12V at 15°W, 12666.50 MHz, horizontal, SR 30000, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2, PowerVu, bouquet Anuvu. Keep this table as your baseline. If a service disappears from it or a third row appears, that is the next change — and it will only be visible against this table. A receiver scanned before November 6 at 23:53 UTC will list Colors but not RTP International; rescan only 12666H to pick it up, and check the SID and PIDs before concluding you received the right service.

Quiet bulletin or lost signal? The five-step diagnostic

On a quiet day the reader's real question is about their own setup, not the bulletin. Work through these five steps in order — each one rules out a different cause, and together they separate "nothing changed" from "something broke":

1. Step 1 — Check the bulletin first, not the dish. Open KingOfSat's most-recent-updates page and the latest SatBeams bulletin. If the day's section is empty or the bulletin returns 404, that is a publishing fact, not a reception fact — the bulletin simply has not logged the day yet. If the bulletin is published and covers other satellites but has no 15°W section, there are no Telstar rows in it by construction. Only a published bulletin with a 15°W section and no PowerVu rows proves a quiet day.
2. Step 2 — Check signal lock on 12666H. Tune the transponder manually (12666.50 MHz, horizontal, SR 30000, FEC 3/4) and read the receiver's signal strength and signal quality meters. Strength without quality means the dish is seeing noise, not the transponder — check alignment, LNB and cable. Quality above zero with no picture is a different problem entirely, and it is step 4, not step 2.
3. Step 3 — Check a known service on the same satellite. Tune a free-to-air service on Telstar 12V that you have received before. If it plays, the dish, LNB and cable are fine, and the PowerVu silence is the bulletin's silence, not yours. If nothing on the satellite plays, the fault is in your chain — alignment, LNB, cable or receiver — and no bulletin will fix it.
4. Step 4 — Compare the fingerprint. Run a blind scan or a manual scan of 12666H only, then compare what appears against the table above: Colors on SID 114 with video PID 7713 and audio PID 7714, RTP International on SID 137 with video PID 5393 and audio PID 5394. If both rows appear with those exact numbers, the transponder is live and unchanged. If a row appears with different PIDs, the bouquet moved — note the new numbers and check the bulletins again. If the scan finds the services but shows a black screen, that is encryption, not a lost signal: PowerVu needs legitimate authorisation from the bouquet operator, and a correct scan without authorisation gives a black screen by design. See our November 2 black-screen guide linked below.
5. Step 5 — Check the clock. Bulletin time decides everything. A scan made before 23:53 UTC on November 6 cannot contain RTP International, and a bulletin checked at 09:00 UTC cannot contain the afternoon's rows. Always record when you checked, in UTC, and re-check in the evening before concluding the day was quiet.

If all five steps pass — bulletin published and quiet, lock on 12666H, a known service playing, fingerprints matching, and the check time recorded — then the silence is real: nothing changed, and your setup is fine. That is the correct conclusion for November 9, and it is a conclusion you can now reach yourself on any quiet day.

What "no rows" does NOT mean

Three mistakes are common when readers meet a quiet bulletin. The first is assuming the bulletin is broken: the SatBeams 8-Nov-26 bulletin was published and holds five rows, and KingOfSat's 8 November section holds six records, so the bulletins are alive and the silence on PowerVu is real. The second is assuming the satellite went quiet: Telstar 12V's 43-row baseline is still transmitting; a bulletin only logs changes, so an unchanged bouquet produces no rows by design. The third is reading a missing bulletin as a missing day: the SatBeams 9-Nov-26 bulletin returning 404 at 09:01 UTC means it had not been published yet, not that November 9 has no news — bulletins appear during the day, and a morning 404 is normal. The honest summary of this window is therefore narrow and precise: no new PowerVu row appeared in either bulletin by Monday morning, and the last PowerVu change anywhere remains the RTP International start of November 6.

The wider Telstar 12V PowerVu baseline: unchanged

Beyond 12666H, the rest of the Telstar 12V PowerVu picture is exactly where our November 3 post left it. The November 2 bulletin listed 43 PowerVu rows across the satellite's two other PowerVu transponders: the Anuvu bouquet on 12640H — BBC HD, BBC News, Bloomberg TV, Fox News Channel and CNN International Europe among its services — and the MTN Worldwide TV bouquet on 12681H. Nothing in the November 7, 8 or 9 window touches those rows: no start, no leave, no frequency move, no encryption change. That stillness is itself information. The Anuvu rework is concentrated on 12666H, not spread across the satellite, and a reader who only watches the headline transponder is watching the right place. The 43-row count stands as the baseline until a bulletin row changes it, and the next status check will test it again.

Beam honesty: can a reader in Pakistan receive this?

Be direct. Telstar 12V at 15°W serves Atlantic and European coverage with beams aimed at maritime and aviation routes, not at South Asia. The Anuvu bouquet is professional distribution, not a direct-to-home service for Pakistan. A reader in Pakistan can verify every row in this article, practise the fingerprint and five-step diagnostic on it, and apply the receiver steps to satellites they can receive — but moving a dish to 15°W for Colors or RTP International on 12666H is not a realistic home-reception plan. The method in this article is the portable part: the same bulletin-first, fingerprint-complete, baseline-compared reading works on every satellite within reach.

What to watch tonight and next week

Three things deserve attention next. First, the SatBeams 9-Nov-26 bulletin, later today: yesterday's 8-Nov-26 bulletin appeared during the day after a morning 404, so its rows — if it carries a 15°W section — will be the first test of whether the quiet stretch continues into the new week. Second, KingOfSat's Monday 9 November section, which was empty at 09:00 UTC and will fill in during the day; any PowerVu row landing there after this article's check time belongs to the evening, not the morning. Third, 12666H itself: three changes in four days is a rework in progress, and the next bulletin row on this transponder could be a third service joining, a frequency move, or a fourth quiet day that confirms the bouquet has settled. Watch the SID column — a new SID means an addition, a reused SID means a swap. Our next PowerVu post will check all three against the tables in this article.

Frequently asked questions

Did any new PowerVu channel start on November 9, 2026?

No. KingOfSat's Monday 9 November section was empty at 09:00 UTC, its Sunday 8 November section has six records with zero PowerVu rows, and the SatBeams 9-Nov-26 bulletin had not been published by 09:01 UTC. The last PowerVu start anywhere is RTP International on November 6.

How do I know if my dish lost the signal or nothing changed?

Run the five-step diagnostic in this article: check that the bulletin is published and covers 15°W, check signal lock on 12666H, tune a known free-to-air service on Telstar 12V, compare the SID and PID fingerprints against the table above, and check the clock. If the bulletin is quiet and your dish still locks the transponder, nothing changed — your setup is fine.

My receiver shows signal strength but no picture on Colors or RTP International. Why?

That is encryption, not a lost signal. Both services are DVB-S2 PowerVu and need legitimate authorisation from the bouquet operator. A correct scan without authorisation gives a black screen, not a fault — see our November 2 black-screen guide linked below. Signal strength with no picture means the transponder is there and the service is locked to you.

I scanned 12666H and only see Colors. Where is RTP International?

Your scan predates the start. RTP International was logged at 23:53 UTC on November 6, so any scan made before that time cannot contain it. Rescan only 12666H and check for SID 137 with video PID 5393 and audio PID 5394.

Is there a key for Colors or RTP International?

No key appears in any source checked for this article, and this blog does not publish keys. PowerVu bouquets are professionally authorised; an encrypted row without authorisation stays black.

Why does the SatBeams bulletin show no PowerVu rows?

Because the 8-Nov-26 bulletin covers only 42°E, 108°E and 124°E, and bulletins only log changes. An unchanged bouquet produces no rows, and a bulletin with no 15°W section cannot contain Telstar rows at all. The 9-Nov-26 bulletin had simply not been published yet at check time.

How often should I check for PowerVu changes?

Once a week is enough for most readers — the ten-minute Sunday check in our November 8 review covers it. Check daily only when a transponder is actively changing, as 12666H was between November 4 and 6. Always record the check time in UTC, because bulletin time decides whether a row is new or already covered.
