Satellite Frequency Update November 5, 2026: 349 Changes

Satellite Frequency Update November 5, 2026: 349 Verified Changes

The Fransat radio rebrand sweeps 5°W, dozens of free channels appear on new French and Italian transponders, and Dubai adds channels on 7°W — all verified from the SatBeams November 4 bulletin.

November 5, 2026 — Today's frequency update covers 349 verified satellite entries: 307 new services and 42 departures. A note on timing first, because honesty matters here: at check time this morning (09:26 PKT), neither KingOfSat nor SatBeams had published a November 5 bulletin yet — KingOfSat's latest section is still November 4, and the SatBeams November 5 page does not exist yet. The November 4 KingOfSat records were already tabled in this morning's BISS daily post, so this article does something different and clearly labelled: it tables the previously unreported second half of the SatBeams November 4 bulletin (orbital sections 7°W tail, 5°W and 1°W), which the morning post explicitly left uncounted. Routine "updated" parameter-refresh rows are excluded from the count — only genuinely new or removed services are counted.

The headline story is the big French radio reshuffle on Eutelsat 5 West: the France Bleu regional network has been rebranded as ICI, with 88 new ICI regional stations appearing across two transponders and the old France Bleu entries deleted, alongside a rebuilt RCF regional network. The second story is the wave of new free-to-air TV on 5°W — flagship French channels (TF1, France 5, M6, W9, Arte, LCI, BFM TV and more) now listed as FTA on new transponders, plus Italian regional and Sardinian bouquets and Rai channels on new slots. On 7°W, Dubai Media adds Arirang HD and four new radio services. On Thor 5 at 1°W, Viaplay TV HD launches with five new Swedish radio stations.

Beam honesty: every record in this article is on a Europe or MENA beam (7°W, 5°W, 1°W). Readers in Asia should use this morning's BISS daily post and yesterday's frequency post for the Asia-relevant changes — those posts cover the Astra, TurkmenAlem, AsiaSat, Thaicom and Express positions.

Eutelsat 7 West A, 7°W — Dubai Media Adds Channels

Arirang HD is the pick of this section for English-language viewers on the MENA beam: Korea's international channel in HD, free to air. The Dubai Media bouquet on 12418 H gains two radio services alongside its existing Dubai TV, Dubai One and Dubai Sports channels.

Three new UHD entries stand out for 4K receiver owners: DOG AND CAT, the FRANSAT ULTRA HD DEMO loop and FIGARO TV — all Viaccess-encrypted, so a Fransat card and a HEVC-capable box are needed. The six new France 3 regional editions (Rennes, Amiens, Lille, Besançon, Nantes, Poitiers) fill gaps in the regional lineup on 5°W.

Italian viewers on 5°W gain the most in sheer channel count: 18 ITALIA-network channels, 16 Apulian regional channels, 17 Sardinian channels and a full Rai radio lineup, all free to air. One caution: the same Rai main channels appear on several transponders in this bulletin — that is how SatBeams records the listings, not a claim that Rai moved six times. Scan the transponder with the strongest signal for your dish and ignore the duplicates.

Eutelsat 5 West, 5°W — The ICI Radio Rebrand

The biggest single change in this bulletin is a rebrand, not a launch: France Bleu's regional radio network is now ICI. SatBeams records 88 new ICI regional stations — 44 on 11471 V and 44 on 11472 H — while the old France Bleu entries on 11472 H are deleted. If your receiver still shows "France Bleu" names on 5°W, rescan 11471 V and 11472 H and the same stations will appear under their new ICI names.

ICI stations on 11471 V (44): ICI ALSACE, ICI ARMORIQUE, ICI AUXERRE, ICI AZUR, ICI BEARN BIGORRE, ICI BELFORT-MONTBELIARD, ICI BERRY, ICI BESANCON, ICI BOURGOGNE, ICI BREIZH IZEL, ICI CHAMPAGNE-ARDENNE, ICI COTENTIN, ICI CREUSE, ICI DROME ARDECHE, ICI GARD LOZERE, ICI GASCOGNE, ICI GIRONDE, ICI HERAULT, ICI ISERE, ICI LA ROCHELLE, ICI LIMOUSIN, ICI LOIRE OCEAN, ICI LORRAINE NORD, ICI MAINE, ICI MAYENNE, ICI NORD, ICI NORMANDIE CAEN, ICI NORMANDIE ROUEN, ICI OCCITANIE, ICI ORLEANS, ICI PARIS ILE-DE-FRANCE, ICI PAYS BASQUE, ICI PAYS D'AUVERGNE, ICI PAYS DE SAVOIE, ICI PERIGORD, ICI PICARDIE, ICI POITOU, ICI PROVENCE, ICI RCFM, ICI ROUSSILLON, ICI SAINT-ETIENNE LOIRE, ICI SUD LORRAINE, ICI TOURAINE, ICI VAUCLUSE.

Alongside ICI, the RCF regional network is rebuilt with 26 new stations on 11472 H (RCF, RCF Alpha Rennes, RCF Anjou, RCF Bordeaux, RCF Coeur de Champagne, RCF Drôme-Ardèche, RCF en Berry, RCF en Bourgogne, RCF Franche-Comté, RCF Haute-Loire, RCF Haute-Normandie, RCF Haute-Savoie, RCF Hautes-Alpes, RCF Isère, RCF Jerico-Moselle, RCF Limousin, RCF Loir et Cher, RCF Lyon, RCF Orne, RCF Pays de l'Ain, RCF Poitou, RCF Reims-Ardennes, RCF Savoie, RCF Touraine, RCF Vaucluse, RCF Vendée), replacing 21 old RCF entries deleted from the same transponder. A further 38 new French radio services appear across 11456 H, 11467 H, 11471 V, 11472 H and 11480 H, including Europe 1, Europe 2, France Inter, France Info, France Culture, France Musique, FIP, NRJ, NOSTALGIE, RIRE ET CHANSONS, RFM, NOVA, RADIO AFRICA N01, RMC, MFM, Radio Classique, Sud Radio, BFM and the Sec TDF feeds.

Departures — What Left 5°W

Channel	Status	Frequency / Details
TeleGrenoble Isere	Deleted	10972 V, SID 4133 (French, FTA)
ETB1 (old entry)	Deleted, replaced	11054 V, SID 504 — replaced by the new ETB1 (SID 502) and ETB1ON (SID 503)
RMC Sport 1 UHD	Deleted	11679 V, SID 800 (Viaccess UHD)
Old France Bleu entries	5 deleted	11472 H: FIP Region, France Bleu (RF Contribution), France Bleu Frequenza Mora, France Bleu Île de France, France Bleu Modulation — superseded by the ICI network
Old RCF entries	21 deleted	11472 H: RCF, RCF01, RCF05, RCF07, RCF11, RCF18, RCF19, RCF21, RCF25, RCF26, RCF33, RCF37, RCF41, RCF43, RCF51, RCF54, RCF69, RCF73, RCF74, RCF76, RCF84 — superseded by the rebuilt RCF network
Other deleted services	13 deleted	11472 H: Antinea Radio, Berbére Radio, Capytol, EPG, Guide TV, Lloyds Live, Mediadix 1, Mediadix 2, Mediadix 3, Radio Soleil, SPAR Live, plus data entries 01 02 12 94 and 01 03 07 31

Most of the 42 departures are the old names in the ICI/RCF rebrand — the stations themselves continue under new names, so this is a rename wave rather than a shutdown wave. Genuine removals are TeleGrenoble Isere and RMC Sport 1 UHD; ETB1 is a straight replacement on a new SID.

Thor 5, 1°W — Viaplay TV HD and Swedish Radio

Channel	Status	Frequency / Details
Viaplay TV HD	New	11278 V, SR 25000, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2, SID 7585, Conax & Nagravision 3 & Videoguard (Allente, English, Finnish)
Power Club, Power Hit Radio, Rix FM, Star FM, Svénska Favoriter	5 new radios, FTA	11278 V, SR 25000, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2 (Allente, Swedish), SIDs 1742, 1741, 1787, 1744, 1739

These six Thor 5 entries are the only records in this article dated November 4 itself rather than November 3 — the freshest items in the bulletin. Viaplay TV HD is encrypted (Allente), while the five radio stations are free to air.

Tuning Tips After a Reshuffle

• Rescan by transponder, not full blind scan: for the ICI rebrand, scan 11471 V and 11472 H on 5°W; for the new FTA French TV, scan 12648 V, 12732 V and 12733 V; for the Italian bouquets, scan 12542 H, 12574 H and 12585 H.
• Delete stale entries first: old France Bleu, old RCF and old ETB1 names will otherwise sit dead in your channel list and confuse the scan.
• UHD needs HEVC: DOG AND CAT, FRANSAT ULTRA HD DEMO and FIGARO TV are HEVC (H.265) — an older MPEG-4-only box will show them as no signal.
• Check the beam: 5°W, 7°W and 1°W entries in this article are Europe/MENA beams. If you are in Asia, these transponders are generally out of footprint — use the morning BISS post for your region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this article cover November 4 records instead of November 5?

Because no November 5 bulletin existed at check time (09:26 PKT) from either KingOfSat or SatBeams. Rather than invent records or repeat the morning post, this article tables the verified second half of the SatBeams November 4 bulletin, which the morning post had not covered. The November 5 bulletin will be covered when it appears.

Did France Bleu shut down?

No. The regional network was rebranded as ICI. The stations continue on 11471 V and 11472 H under their new ICI names — rescan those two transponders and they reappear.

Are TF1, M6, France 5 and W9 now free on 5°W?

According to this bulletin, FTA listings for those channels now appear on 12732 V and 12733 V. They also exist in encrypted form on other 5°W transponders, so keep your Fransat card active and test the FTA entries on your own receiver before relying on them.

What is the difference between "new" and "updated" in SatBeams bulletins?

"New" means the service appeared (or reappeared) in the listings; "deleted" means it was removed. "Updated" rows are routine parameter refreshes of services that already existed — this article excludes those from its count so the headline number reflects real change.

Why are the same Rai channels listed on six transponders?

SatBeams records listings per transponder, and Rai's main channels are carried on several 5°W feeds (including regional and multistream variants). Scan the transponder with the strongest signal for your dish and ignore the duplicates.

Is Viaplay TV HD free?

No — it is encrypted with Conax, Nagravision 3 and Videoguard on the Allente package. The five new Swedish radio stations on the same transponder are free to air.

Do I need a new dish for these changes?

No. All of these are transponder-level changes on satellites already in place (7°W, 5°W, 1°W). A transponder rescan is enough; no re-aiming is needed.

Where can I check these frequencies myself?

On SatBeams' November 4 transponder news page and KingOfSat's news page, both linked in the sources below. Always verify on your own receiver before deleting a working channel list.
