[QUOTE="william-1, post: 928717, member: 193781"] DirecTV 15 27 May 2015 21:16-22:40 Successful Launch Ariane 5 ECA VA223 Kourou ELA-3 30 Ku, 24 Ka 18 Reverse Band Reverse DBS uses the normal downlink frequency band for uplink, and vice versa. That is, the download and upload bands are reversed. The idea is to get more bandwidth. There is plenty of speculation about how DirecTV will use this and what it means to the average customer. We won't know for sure until DirecTV tells us. It's likely that the current dishes (at least) won't handle RDBS. 30 high power transponders in Ku-band, 24 transponders in Ka-band, 18 transponders in Reverse Band, and will be able to operate from up to five orbital locations from 99°W to 119°W, covering Continental US (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico [/QUOTE]
