yes kaband has many range,up to 27 ghz,you can buy the lnbs,from norsat for e.g!
the italian telekom,sends in kaband on 16 east, up to 14 ghz,but this channels ,are non listed,in the current,channel databases
astra ,and all other satelite ,operators,must always have enough backup capaticy.,when a satelite,or transponders goes fault,to have enough backup space!
so i could imagine,when always,more and more,channels starts,that the must lunch more satelites,in the same period of time!
,also the positions,of satelites,are strong limited,and when a satelite,operator,wants to have,the right,to send on position X,for example,he must buy the right for,to dont loose the right,for sending,a programm must be transmited,otherwise,the postion,is sale,for another,this happens,on some not so importent satelite positions,in the past,but ,i dont know the name of the bird in the moment!
,to most comon problem,in 10 years would be,that most satelite operators,from difrent countrys,cannot make copostion,like astra,because,the always,need there own postions!
around,2 years ago,i found an intresting report,during surfing,that only one organisation,has the assignment,to coordinate,this postions wordwide!
us we can see,somtimes,on serval orbital postions,the space,between some satelites for eg. 7.-8 west,or 19.2 east,and 21.5 are very little,this results in very strange problems
here to of them!
first the orf transponder,around 2 years ago,there was a channels,on 21.5 east,that sending,on the exact same freqency,then orf,then ,many people,get problems,with orf recetipon,and orf hotline,was complitly overloaded,with people,that has reception problems!
the analyse of that,results in that,that,most dishes,has not point exactly,to the astra satelite,and the ,angel,of aperature,on small dishes,are much bigger,then on the bigger ones,this results,in signals interaction!
inside europe,the freqencys are coordinated,that are not use the same,but when the programm,comes form difrent country,like badr,we get a ot of problems,in out of footprint reception,some day,when the postions ,are all rented,same on 26east badr and 28,5,most problem,to catch this birds,in out of footprint reagion,is the mirror beam,of stronger nabour satelites!
also,we can see this,of some astra satelites,reception problems,in greece,on the astra satelites,that mirror beams swapping,and make footprint rececption imposible,or very hard!
the other senario,what dr dish told us ,in the past,in an old show,is that ,one transponder beams,are used on the same freqency!
for eg,on tve freqency,in spain,you can watch tve,and in germany ard!
when this comes,our satellite,is hobby is done forrever!
okay,now iam finish!
