My System: 75e-75w C & KU, 36v h-h /36v & diseqc actuators / diseqc -USALS motors / Anlg to HD Channel Masters C120s dishes, stb's inc echo3000, lnbs, meters, custom polar mounts & elevation/incline actuator conversions... |
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. | ||

My System: CKD 12 (3,66m) | Hello pedro2000uk, signal is here with mesh 12ft very weak with only <2dB S/N (Openbox X-810). To get this package - itīs very hard - you need >3,5dB S/N. Best Regards Edgar. | ||

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 | ||

My System: CKD 12 (3,66m) | 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. Itīs 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 itīs 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. | ||

Why not tell us about your system, dish size is somewhat important to get this channel. http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/intel802_spot1.html | |||

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. _http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/intel802_spot1.html | |||

My System: CKD 12 (3,66m) | Hello issedin, no, itīs 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. | ||

What is on NTV for Kenya programming? | ||

My System: Covering 30W-105.5E range, two motors, C and Ku band. Various receivers/cards/cams/etc. | One local cable TV has these channels in their broadcast. I wanted to check their dish setup, but no tall buildings around, and their dishes are inside at yard, very high fence around, can only see some edge of low-elevated huge mesh dish. | ||

Just to echo what dx qwer said .. he is in Germany (a bit nearer to 34.5w footprint than Sweden), so for Sweden it looks like you need a very big dish if it is possible... 6m or bigger for 34.5w and 2.4m or bigger for 5w. Or wait for a company to transmit to N. Europe on KU. | |||
