When will it replace nss6

 

[Hassan Syed]

It's mean due to this reason Dish TV not adding new channels?

This is not the reason because Dish TV has a lot of space available to add the channels

The current position of SES-12 (from N2YO website) is :
Perigee: 2,143.6 km & Apogee: 62,531.1 km

That means the satellite is still in a highly elliptical orbit. As all of us know, communication satellites needed to be in 36800km circular orbit. The orbital transfer/correction process is going on and it should take at least 3 more months to position in circular orbit.
The satellite will be commisioned only after satisfactorily aligning the beams as per required footage and testing the signals. So altogether it will take around 5 months at least for the satellite to function

5 months have passed after launching the satellite. But the SES-12 satellite has reached only upto 31840x40000km elliptical orbit. It will take atleast 2-3 weeks more to achieve the 35800x35800km circular orbit.
but the funny thing is that some feku youtubers have already posted video updates claiming new channel signals received from this SES-12

Dish-D2H, Airtel will get new TP's of SES12 Satellite??

Dish-D2H, Airtel will get new TP's of SES12 Satellite??

Why would Airtel go for a satellite which is not in their current direction It is the replacement for NSS 6 so if Dish TV wants they will sign contract for TPs and use it.

Why dishtv is going for this satellite? They don't need any replacement satellite. Dish and D2H are merged, they can use D2H satellite for both. They should merge their resources, it will be beneficial for them as well as for us as a user as it will reduce their input cost and this benefit they can pass on to us by adding new channels which is pending from long time.
