KBS on 123?

KBS disappeared from Galaxy 18 at 123W on February 15. One of my favorite channels (of course). Can anyone confirm that KBS is no longer present on this satellite? I think any other fta satellites with KBS are not within range of my location at 119W.
 
If all else fails, I see youtube has a live KBS site:
Code:

Edit: Forgot to add... I can not speak to the legality of this stream.
 
Ah! I wasn’t aware of a YouTube KBS feed, which might be helpful in hotels. We use a pay streaming service for some of the excellent dramas away from home. At home we have cable service with KBS as an alternative to satellite KBS but it has aspect ratio issues and some program schedule differences. Satellite image seems better.

It is coming in fine here. Something must be wrong with your system, as I have checked it several times since Feb 15th and it has always been there (check when I do daily scans, etc.)

Regarding KBS on G18 @123 West: I swapped the GeoSat LNB for a Bullseye, tried a Gt Media receiver, and waited for the bad weather to pass. Still no reception of KBS. Several other Daystar stations (and at this moment interesting Rugby playoffs occurring every 21 minutes) are working. I’ll keep trying with a new short coax bypassing the motor. If nothing else I have a newly found respect for rugby. I’m at 119 degrees west so maybe the antenna pattern was changed. No idea.
