C Band on 34.5w ..... KBC-KTN-NTV channels .. on or off?

[guest poster]

Any C banders confirm if TP 3895 L 8594 (KBC KTN NTV) on Intelsat 903 34.5w ..NE Zone is still on or not...

Lyngsat & Flysat list it but Kingofsats doesn't and cant find it at KBC's site.

Hello pedro2000uk,

signal is here with mesh 12ft very weak with only <2dB S/N (Openbox X-810). To get this package - it´s very hard - you need >3,5dB S/N.

Best Regards
Edgar.

Thanks dx... I take it from that KBC etc.. are still on...

the footprints are a bit... vague

Do you think I'd get a better chance with 5w Panatlantic beam on 3656r 2893- that carries KTN

Hello pedro2000uk,

KTN on 3656 R 2894 3/4 (Atlantic Bird 3 @5,0°W) has much more stronger signal. With mesh 12ft now 7,8dB S/N -> you get this with >2dB S/N.

With 1,80m you get KTN on 3656 R (5,0°W) very good. It´s also possible with 1,50m, if you use an Waveguide Polarizer (see australian homepage from av.comm). I use this Waveguide Polarizer too!

If you have 1,20m dish it is not easy to get it. I would say that it´s not possible. But you can try it.

The signal for Kenyan mux on 3895 L (@Intelsat 903 @34,5°W) will need >4,50m dish...

Best Regards
Edgar.

Thanks for that infomation dx...

..the waveguide polarizer looks very interesting over a dielectric plate.... that's quite some gain...

Why not tell us about your system, dish size is somewhat important to get this channel.

check the very informative posts above from dx qwer... by that you need a much bigger dish just for the easiest ....5w c band... in Sweden... at a guess.. 2.4m+

34.5w would need a massive dish...

and 32.9e is out of the question in northern Europe ... it's a spot beam, too far away and too focused.

thanks guys .it seems i have to move southen europe to get ktn..kkkkkkk. just joking....
in case i get the 2m+ dish and c-band lnb will the ku-band recever do it or i need a c-band receiver? if you guys have site where i can check , that will help too.

 

[issedin]

and about the direction? at the moment i receive hotbird and astra1 on my 90 dish with 6degrees monoblock lnb....is 5degrees west also on this direction?

 

[guest poster]

most receivers have c band settings for the lnb...

yes the direction is west... 18 degrees west of the 13e and up a bit and the skew is over a bit for the ku band on 5w (French etc.)... the c band is circular

you can get a lot of African tv free on various sats in ku band if you motorise that 90... (not Kenya yet)

hej pedro.....
i found out that ntv kenya is available on eutelsat seasat at 36degres east and its a ku-band.....is that receverble on my 90 if its motorised? ...........thanx

Hello issedin,

no, it´s not possible for you to get KTN on (encrypted) MultiChoice Africa package on Eutelsat Sesat @36.0°E on 11142 H 30000 3/4.

This Ku-Band Beam is for South Africa and not for Europe. Pease check it @LyngSat!

Best Regards
Edgar.

NTV Uganda (kenya) 11647v 5000 on seasat 36e is showing as DVD S2 ...the S2 means that most satellite receivers won't receive it - HD receivers should.... but I'm not sure what non HD receivers are DVD S2 compliant.

here is the footprint

the dish sizes are on the right so 90 in southern to mid Sweden is certainly OK if the map is OK.. only north is on the limit ... you could even try it with a 3rd lnb at the side of the 19e side if you are in the south.

What is on NTV for Kenya programming?

Hello,

sorry for my post! I read KTN Kenya and not NTV Uganda (Kenya).
