I confirm that the signal is weaker this morning,I find the lower beacon 10 to 15 dB lower than yesterday.I cannot see the two modulation signals ,only the career is visible 10 to 12dB above local noise,some thing strange ,the level of the beacon is stronger with 14V supply (like V-polar) than 18 V corresponding to H_polar !
IK8XLD
I guess you were listening with horizontal polarization. In H-mode I have two carriers from ArabSat 30.5E @10706. In V-mode the left one almost disappears here.
Try 11199.8H 25.5E (Es'Hail-1) to point your dish.
After correction I determine 11199.796503 MHz (+/- 1 Hz, middle peak) as frequency.

I'm guessing your 10706 Beacon is Es'Hail-2. Your 11205 one is more likely Astra @23.5 East, unless they have turned modulation on 11205 (up until now it's just been a pure carrier from what I've seen, and I think yesterday or the day before it dropped 25db, according to some). Your 10951.5 waterfall is almost certainly Astra 2C
Provided that you're 'on frequency' (i.e. you know the LO frequency/frequencies of your RX-chain. Can be checked with e.g. a Baofeng tuned to 446.085 MHz) the following procedure may prevent fooling yourself.
Information is now that the 10706 MHz EB is 'vertically polarized', i.e. it is received stongest when the LNB is in vertical mode.
The following situation / sequence of events is assumed: The LNB is in V-mode (12-13V), a RTL-SDR (or similar) is used to receive the IF-signal from the LNB and one looks at the waterfall while pointing the dish 'ins Blaue hinein' while 'suddenly' a signal (around) 10706 MHz is observed.
Align the dish for max signal and also tweak the skew of the LNB. The skew angle is counter clockwise where I live. When your longitude is >24 degrees (IOT slot at the time of this writing) the skew angle is clockwise.
Zoom into the signal until you have <10 kHz frequency steps in your waterfall.
Place your hand in front of the LNB. The signal should disappear. If not, it may be a birdie (and hence you're NOT receiving Es'hail-2 ; -)
Put the LNB into H-mode (applying 18 - 19V) .. OR.. rotate the LNB 90 degrees counter clockwise. If another signal ca. 2,3 kHz lower in frequency appears, you are NOT receiving Es'hail-2 but ArabSat 5A at 30.5E instead.
