As correctly reported in the previous post, Eutelsat 5 WEST
B will remain the only one in that position (so with data services and
only ku band coverture for Europe and Africa).
If you was referring to C-band situation it's of course endind soon
Acutally this satellite is used only by two statimes tv Uganda bouquet 4111R, 4152R and by occasional OCCA channels on 3727R position (actives only when there are CAF matches).
What's happening to them?
Now Startimes Tv Uguanda is C-band broadcasting both on 5W than 8W (3725R,3761R) and can be received with a conax receiver+card and a C-band dualfeed (5W-8W). When satellite leaves I guess bouquets will move to 8W (possibly in low C-band positions and circular L polarity enough specular to its present bouquets in CR one) with a possible rearrangement of all services so to avoid double channels
OCCA bouquet too for his CAF events could follow the same way or move to other possible satellites as 10E, 3E ,5E (solution less probable for Startimes TV Uguanda)
At the end,
Eutelsat 5 West A was a good satellite for European C-band coverture (>150cm dishes about)
If bouquets move to 8W it will be a problem, because 5W has a more omogenic trans-continental coverture, while the other has a stronger African beam and if earth station transmission power remains the same at least a 3 meter dish will be requested for a tolerable reception in Europe (at least 7.5db about seem to be StarsatTV bouquet threashold).
