Bandwidth request...

etalireza · 04-10-2009

Hello everyone,
Could anyone give a report of our channel over there either in Europe or middle east please. We need to know how much is our bandwidth.
We are located in US and broadcasting our channel over Europe and middle east. so we cannot receive it over here in US.

Our channel is ICC :
Freq: 12245
S/R: 27500
Horizontal
FEC: 3/4

I appreciate your help!

Which satellite are we talking about?

**Analoguesat** · 04-10-2009

Either

ICC+ which is on is on Eurobird 9.

Or

ICC + which is on Hotbird 13E

The bandwidth on both is criminally low and the company behind it should be ashamed of putting out such diablical picture quality

Both transmissions are running at about 1200kbps and dissolve into "blocky vision" at the first signs of any fast movement.

I can provide screengrabs of both transmissions complete with bit rate overlay..

**Channel Hopper** · 04-10-2009

Hmmm, on Hotbird only there are 16 video and 6 radio broadcasts competing for their share of the 27.5k symbol rate.

I would move frequency if I wanted people to watch.

etalireza · 04-10-2009

Thank you all,
But we recently switched to this frequency and you might need to rescan to have it in your list.
It suppose to be on Hotbird.

Analoguesat,
I would really appreciate if you could provide us with screen captures of our status.

Thanks,

**Analoguesat** · 04-10-2009

OK give me a few minutes - I'll run the bit rate plug in over five minutes or so

**Analoguesat** · 04-10-2009

First up - 13E.

The picture quality is just DREADFUL! Having the pic on full screen on my 19" monitor its horribly soft, and looks like a 10th generation copy of a vhs tape badly convertyed from NTSC to PAL

In addition theres some nasty flickering (tape artefacts maybe??)

To be perfectly honest I wouldnt watch this.

The second pic is one I grabbed earlier and shows the shocking blokkovision effects from insufficient bandwidth.

**Analoguesat** · 05-10-2009

And secondly Eurobird 9A at 9E

To be perectly honest not only is it horrible to watch but also to listen to - the audio is extremely distorted on both transmissions - it waaaay too loud.......!

If the poor Iranian viewers have to put up with this I doubt you have many viewers....

Thanks Analoguesat!
I appreciate that!

GFS · 08-10-2009

who are you uplinking with (which teleport/service provider) and what bit rate have you contracted to? I would consider changing providers based on bad quality.

No problem - if you do some tweaks & need a comparison let us know & I'll redo the tests.

***BombedOne*** · 08-10-2009

Eutelsat is wery money hungry company...

for good bitrate single channel (5mbps avg.) on hotbird, they asked such amount money, that would be enough to hire complete TP on sirius

As GFS has confirmed, the bit-rate is something that is negotiated before contracts are drawn and money paid.

If the broadcast falls short of the stated minimum the contract has been breached.

***BombedOne*** · 09-10-2009

Yes I know that. I mean, current eutelsat pricing for 13E is very high. For price they are asking for 1 channel, you can rent complete TP on another sat.

Analoguesat,
We are struggling with the sat company to see if we can increase our bandwidth and quality with less price difference. So they have done some changes but as we do not have access to the sat from here i need to ask you kindly check it for us

So if you can please give a screen grab of what you get and bandwidth one more time

Thanks

Unfortunately Analoguesat is away at present, but another member may be able to assist.

Steady at the moment at 1.34Mbits/sec. Still a terrible picture.

Llew,

You are right but its going to be better in few days,
Thanks

Hello,
Would anyone please give another report of our channel quality and bandwidth.

Thanks!

**Analoguesat** · 1 Week Ago

Hi there - I was on holiday in Rome last time you asked, so thanks to the other lads for helping out.

The bandwidth usage figures are actually lower on 13E!

ATM theres some dreadful kung fu type film on and the bit rate is averaging a little over 1100kbps

However the audio levels do seem to have been sorted out. The screengrab is from about 5 minutes of monitoring.

The picture doesnt seem to be dissolving into blocks as badly as it did before, so maybe the encoders have been tweaked??

**Analoguesat** · 1 Week Ago

The picture /audio quality is pretty much the same on Eurobird 9A at 9E
