New Downlink Parameters on Hotbird Satellite of The Word Network:


We would like to inform you that due to the reassignment of the transponders on the Hotbird satellite by RRsat, your service on the Hotbird satellite will migrate to transponder 115 instead of the current transponder 157.


We realize this might put some pressure on your service and end takers and therefore, we will grant dual illumination period on both TXP 157 (current downlink frequencies) and on TXP 115 (new frequencies), starting September 5, 2012 until 12 of September will be complete full dual illumination of content on both frequencies and as of 12 till 18th of September the old frequency will be transmitting informative slide of the new assigned frequency. At the same time content will be available only on the new frequency.


Due to the relocation to the new transponder, the downlink parameters will change, as indicate below:


- Reception Frequency: 10815MHz
- Reception Polarization: Horizontal
- Symbol Rate: 27500Msyb
- FEC: 5/6


We are confident that this transition will be smooth and seamless.

We thank you advance for your cooperation and confidence in our services.

Best Regards,
