[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 1117120, member: 389824"] I'd say that before investing anything in a C-Band receiving setup, check that the 3400-3800 MHz band isn't being used locally by at least one mobile network for their 5G NR network coverage - if that's the case then that's likely to heavily limit your options. Supposedly (so not to be taken 100% confirmed) a couple of years back the North Korean KCTV suddenly appeared on KoreaSat 5A (113E) on a Ku-Band transponder with BISS scrambling, with some people asking why on earth the North Korean station was broadcasting on a South Korean communications satellite? It turned out that relevant ROK authorities, journalists etc. that monitored the station (then on a Thaicom sat at 78.5E) could no longer receive it due to interference from 5G networks using the C-Band frequencies terrestrially, so to get around this they set up a C-Band receive system in a part of the country where there was no terrestrial 5G coverage at the time to then be uplinked to KoreaSat 5A - essentially, the South Korean authorities were rebroadcasting KCTV! Since then the pan-Asian footprint of KCTV in C-Band has moved to ChinaSat on 87.5E on a frequency of 4180 MHz (right at the top of the satellite C-Band, so the best chance of escaping terrestrial 5G interference), and the not-properly-authorised rebroadcast on KoreaSat 5A has ceased.
