[QUOTE="Satfaca, post: 1158347, member: 297203"] I have recently been on a cruise ship and from couriosity of course wanted to know more about how live TV is coming through. I did manage to get in talk with a person knowing something about it but was kinda reluctant to give more information before he talked to his superiors. Obviously "sensitive security field" resulted in "not cleared to provide further information". But I did learn that there are three C-band systems on board of which two are redundant and can come handy in locations like norwegian or alaskan fjords where sometimes the dish on one side of the ship doesn't see the satellite while it does the one on the other side (left/right, front/back). Generally for worldwide maritime service the [URL='https://www.anuvu.com/']Anuvu[/URL] C-band service in all three ocean regions is being used (180E, 57E & 34.5W) however newer systems (from [URL='https://youtu.be/4BpzntybMAM']SeaTel/Cobham[/URL]) also enable Ku reception from whichever satellite, probably used for cruises in areas like Mediterranean or US (DirecTV). From what I've seen there are rarely any dropouts... if any, more or less just occasional pixel distortions even at cruising at full speed on a rough sea. The guy did tell me that the only breaks in service take place when ship enters different ocean area and needs to switch to a different satellite. The ship has its own entertainment system with a mix of own channels and with only a few live TV services what probably lies on the agreement/subscribtion between the cruising company and Anuvu. Most importantly ... in all public places only Sport 24 is being shown most of the time so major live sports events cannot be missed.:Y:) Attached a couple of photos of the antenna domes...
