FTA channel BTV ceases on Thor at 0.8°West

[DJSat79]

0.8° West Thor / Intelsat 10-02
The only FTA channel on Vertical Pole has now ceased (after about 15 years)
This will be missed by Sat Uplink operators + hundreds of others to check that they are correctly receiving Intelsat 10-02 prior to major Ad Hoc transmissions on the Vertical pole.
(Was on TXP C3 at 11247 V 24500 7/8 DVB-S)
Display on receivers will be "Service Error" or "No Service" as the slot on this mux now has an encrypted channel with different PIDs.

Yes I've only just this morning noticed that too mate - have always used those two transmissions for adjusting my 1.1M dish!
Oh dear!
