What satellite is this?

[Martyn]

I was playing with my new meter today and stopped on what I thought was SES2 at 87W.

A scan revealed an encrypted mux called "Cruisesat" containing mainly Turner channels (CNN US, CNNI Latin America, CNN Espanol etc) but also some sports channels including Bein Sports, ESPN, ESPN 2 and SEC Network.

3849 H 13501

It seems to be about 4-6 degrees to the east of SES2, which would put it right around 83W, but I don't see and likely C-band satellite. Any ideas?

Arsat 2 @ 81.0°W
That mux has been ITC at times in the past week or so.

Thanks! I didn't bother looking at the footprint because Lyngsat said it was ku-only.

It's not often you receive a completely new satellite and orbital location for the first time!

Yeah, like Magic said, Arsat 2 @ 81.0W. That MUX is H.265 HEVC (but not 4K) so you'll need a receiver that supports H.265 to get any video if it goes ITC again. Some other receivers will scan the channels as radio and play the audio if it's not encrypted.

I've found a satellite from time to time that wasn't on SatHint or Lyngsat.
