Bulgarian Channel BBT (Balkan Bulgarian Television)

[burgasleer]

Hi ,

Can anybody help me find out how to receive BBT (Balkan Bulgarian Television). I currently have a subscription to ITV Partner Digital Satellite (_www.itvpartner.com) company Bulgaria (Eutelsat W2 16oE & Hotbirds 13oE), but this channel is not part of their package. I purchased their card, dish (80cm) and receiver recently. Any ideas? Help!

I've seen they broadcast on Hellasat 2 (_www.bulsat.com) with Irdeto 2 video encryption but this is positioned to 39oE. Thor3 is out of range from my location (Liverpool UK) as I know this channel broadcasts free of charge on this satellite.

I have contacts in Bulgaria to purchase a subscription if necessary, but do I need to buy yet more equipment? Can I buy a motor for my existing dish and a single receiver that I can use both ITV Parter (Cryptoworks) and Bulsatcom (Irdeto2) cards with?

Any help with this would be most welcome.

Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried picking up the ThorIII E.Europe beam ? How big is your existing dish ?

You may have luck with a 1.2 or 1.4m dish and a 0.3db LNB

- you need a reception report to take the gamble out of it - ask a local satellite store with a steerable dish to try to tune in the station with their equipment ? - the FEC is 7/8 which makes for problems with threshold DVB reception - visit the store on a rainy day !
