are changing locations??

@George_D

Nilesat 201 is now testing. After finishing in-orbit tests it will be relocated at 7 West.

Good morning all,

Nilesat 201 is now on the move to its allocated orbital position @ 7.0°W form 10.2°W as per http://www.n2yo.com/?s=36830

Most likely, the satellite will be operational in the coming week

@ kungu
this is really interesting.

very interesting indeed! i can't wait to see cnn shoot up to 90% on my 3m fibre! 

Kai this 201 looks very interesting fa!
It is fast approaching the destined position.
I hope we get more signal strength from this

its now at 7.4 w we are moving gradually

7.4w is already way off the mark. where are they really taking this bird to?

its been off forever its nice 2 b back here, patiently waiting for nile201

The bird is to replace Nilesat-101 @ 7.0°W, nobody knows for sure it the elusive CNN will be moved to this bird because it is on Atlantic Bird 4A @ 7.2°W even the Abu Dhabi Sports HD on this bird and by observation they might not be in a hurry to leave this bird launched on 12 Feb 2009.

it has arrived at 7w.abu dhabi will be there.let"s pray it will be trackable with 1.8m.for those with nilesat 101 no need to move ur dish because 201 is located at the same .7w .just a replacement.201 .kindly scan ur receiver periodically to see if any of the abu pop up.track abu with 12111 h 27500.

finally its arrived at its destination will check it out as soon as I get home.

@ All
No data has been moved on d new bird yet, with ref to lyngsat

Good morning all,

Nilesat 201 is finally in its orbital position @ 6.96 W



Just a bit of satellite maneuvers on LONGITUDE position.

Nilesat 101, 102 are also changing orbital position with nilesat 101 gearing up to say bye bye to the Nilesat family.

kungu,i cant understand your drawings.are u saying we cant get nilesat any more?

still keeping my fingers crossed.

George_D:

still keeping my fingers crossed.

I think .

Good morning Obnelly,

The image represents the placement of Nilesat 101, 102 and 201 satellites @ 7.0°W. as per http://www.n2yo.com/?s=36830 updates.
We will still receive the Nilesat satellites even after Nilesat 201 replaces Nilesat 101 in the comings days.

The guy has finally arrived home
Check this out. http://www.satbeams.com/!ajax/embed?beam=6392
If 90 cm will see the guy at that boarder edge of Niger and Nigeria, then we shall be sending babies to track nilesat for us.
eyo o o !
lets go hunting men !

@spaceman

this is more than good news, cant wait

behold, the days of nilesat without tears is finally here!

this is so fascinating.it couldn't have been more timely .maybe i just have to watch events unfold before i go ahead to install my 2.4m.
@george cnn? 90% ? i no fit talk again

Good afternoon,

I called called the guys at Nilesat” The Egyptian Satellite Company on Monday 20th Sep and they informed me that Nilesat 201 will official be active in 4 weeks time.
So the wait is still on----------- -------- but hopefully a test frequency will be up soon.

@george cnn? 90% ? i no fit talk again

believe it or not, cnn could be dancing on your 2.4m at 90% signal quality -very soon!

here we go

It could be encrypted. Dstv and their cohorts maybe not like the sound of it.
but we just have to wait and see.

@cantell


that is not DSTV war zone, is not their fight, they cant dare it,

I haven't yet tested the bird but if the is anyone out there, please test and confirm back on signal strength of Nilesat 201.

wow please someone track and lets smile

JUST CHECK IF THEIR IS INCREASE IN THE SIGNAL STRENGHT,ITS THE SAME OLD TRANSPONDERS THEY ARE USING.11938 V 27500 mbc s

Nilesat 201 active as per test done on a 1.5 meter offset dish in Kenya.
