AFAIK Ku band one of the new Astra 2's
Im pretty sure the Middle East is Ku band

The ME spot on 23ºE is Ka broadband, no DTH. To me it doesn't make sense having DTH for the ME on 28ºE. It's too close to 26ºE making a monoblock impossible, and too far from 7ºW, making two dishes a necessity for both cases.Analoguesat said:AFAIK Ku band one of the new Astra 2's

It's a practical slot for the Middle East, within 20º of the local meridian.Analoguesat said:why have SES just orbited Yahsat 1A to provide KU access to the Middle East which is slotted at 52.5E.
Analoguesat said:It was only a hypothetical situation - but I ask you to consider - what happens when 30W & 19E are full in a few years time?? They will need extra capacity from somewhere. And 6 years ago we would never have predicted that Eutelsat would open 9E up as overspill to 13E, or SES would open up 23.5E as an overspill for 19E.
