Eutelsat have said that Eutelsat 48b has arrived at 28.5e.
28.5e is the location of their UK TV satellite Eutelsat 28A - formally known as Eurobird 1.
Eutelsat 28A / Eurobird 1 carries a number of UK TV channels, many of the free to air UK TV channels, such as True Movies, CBS Action, CBS Drama, Food Network, Challenge, and many Sky Pay TV channels also.
It looks like reports of drop in power on Eutelsat 28A / Eurobird 1 may be true and Eutelsat will simply swap the channels on Eutelsat 28A / Eurobird 1 over to Eutelsat 48B/ Eurobird 28B.
Most of the chanenls on Eutelsat 28A / Eurobird 1 are free to air channels, channel like True Movies and Horror Channel.
It will be unknown what reception of the channels will be like if / when they are moved over to Eutelsat 28B

UK TV Satellites - Astra 2A, Astra 2B, Astra 2C, Astra 1N, Eurobird 1 - and reception in Spain
UK Satellite TV is provided by FIVE satellites.
Four of these satellites are operated by SES Astra of Belgium, and one, Eurobird, is operated by Eutelsat.
SES Astra operate Astra 2a, Astra 2b, Astra 2d and Astra 1N.
Eutelsat operate Eurobird 1.
These satellites provide the UK And Europe with the UK satellite TV channels, such as the BBC, ITV and those provided on the Freesat and Sky satellite platforms.
These five satellites are located at 28.2 to 28.5 degrees east of south.
Each of these satellites operate a number of "beams". Each of these beams have different reception characteristics, especially in fringe reception areas like Spain and the Costa Blanca. This is the reason why channels like Sky News can be reepived in Spain on a smller satellite dish than channels like BBC TV Channels, as these channels are distributed across these different beams.
There are a number of "siganl reception maps" or "footprints" for these beams, but they have to be treated with some caution. Many of them are the theoretical reecption, and are different to the actual reception.
