Can't seem to get SBS one or two from Optus D1 tonight, is anyone else having problems?

A few days ago I needed to re-scan because all SBS channels disappeared. It turned out that they had been moved to another transponder on D1 (now on 12648 MHz).

They have always been on 12648, What was the old freq you had them on?

12661 MHz, which I have been watching since early March. I wonder if that was just a temporary duplicate?

That freq is close, I wonder if you were just getting the edge of 12648 and then it dropped off for some reason.

SBS is a weak frequcency so natrual obstructions including weather and trees will cause the signal to drop off.
