Kwese free sports could be on it's way to winners chapel at 22west C- band. HEVC maybe. There is no harm trying, you could get other blessings on the way.
they are there already but cband lnb for only kwese sport to me is a waste of time and money.

You don't buy dishes or Lnbs for only one satellite, you motorize your dish and constantly swipe the skies for good programs.. That is the FTA addiction. Maybe, the FTA virus hasn't infected you yet.

which dish is cband? But you can track two satellites or more using Ku and cband lnbs on one dish if I understand what you are trying to say very well.

There are C band dishes which are known as prime focus and Ku Band dishes which are known as offset.This is due to how the signal is reflected on the dishes.If you use C band dish to track Ku band signal you can not get good results compared to when the offset dishes are used.

Hello to everyone! Still testing new software from Sameer (the Prof.) ver.4.17p for 4950H will feed the house if I discover any "bomb" so the house can take cover....especially if the bomb is hidden under sp24...so long!!!

Chai! You no wan learn, The bandwidth has nothing to do with the dish but the lnbf. Just as you mentioned, There are prime focus dish and offset dishes, and There are c band lnb and Ku band lnb. And you can sure use both lnbs both dishes.

Nothing like c band dish and Ku band dish

Hello everyone, how can I get channels tv or ait on free to air. I have a 60cm and a 1m dish

The bandwidth has nothing to do with the dish but the lnbf.

Indirectly it does, bandwidth has something to do with the dish with the following reasons:

what is a bandwidth?:a bandwidth is the range of frequencies, the difference between the highest frequencies signal components and the smallest signal components an electronic signal uses on a given transmission medium..like the frequency of a signal,bandwidth is measured in Hertz

Bandwidth The ku band is designated for DTH/communication use via satellite...NB:with no competition or signal interference from other communication system...

Typically ku band operates at higher frequency 10.7GHZ to 12.75GHZ the higher frequency produces a signal with shorter wavelength that is more powerful and focused..because of it's higher frequency it requires smaller dish sizes to receive the service....

C-band on the other hand operates at a much lower frequency 3.4GHZ t0 4.2GHZ due to it's low frequency it shares the same frequency with the terrestrial microwave radio system,as a result some VSAT locations may be avoided so as to not to interfere with these radio system(GSM) and C band operates with low power it requires larger dish sizes to receive the service....

dish type:what is the primary difference between a shallow satellite dish (offset) and a deep satellite dish (prime focus) on terrestrial interference, note that offset satellite antennas are more shallow than a typical prime focus satellite antennas..the shallow the dish the more the gain but a deep dish reject TI than a shallow dish but has less gain than a shallow dish..a shallow dish F/D ratio is about 0.38-0.42 while deep satellite antennas is about 0.27 t0 0.32...

Due to C-band signal prone to TI ( terrestrial interference) a prime focused dish is suitable to receive the service than offset satellite antennas, though a higher signal gain is possible when an offset antenna is used to receive C band signal with same dish size however ku band is effected by severe weather conditions/rain, to minimize rain fade a bigger dish size is needed..C band is less effected by severe weather conditions or heavy rain and typical for tropical areas..

With above reasons bandwidth has something to do with the dish grin

What I mean is, on which satellite can I get channels tv or ait, and the frequency. Please?

You are correct Oga, My point still remain just as your write up shows, we have offset satellite antennas (dishes) and Prime focus antennas (dishes). Cband dish and Ku band dish is just a layman's language because most Prime focus dish are made for Cband lnbfs and offset dish for ku lnbs

Thank you

Just buy one of mytv authorized decoders register it and you get the stations you mentioned FTV(Free-to-view),by tracking16' & 17' degree east with your 60cm dish,that's all.

Yes, it seems max tv is blank right now over here too. I was able to track the channels I was looking for, but only TVC news is FTA. Channels tv and AIT are scrambled. Any biss keys for these? Does Anyone know?
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by Sichali(m): 9:12pm On May 05, 2017
Guys help me. are the discovery channels on 68.5 east (where we have sony channels) open? in my decorder 4922 they scrambled. thanx

Max TV has been assimilated by Star times..Also MBC package on Eutelsat 7@7.3 has improved on their signal.
