Satellite TV - Australia Network (ABC)

[Jai Dee]

DreamTV (Agila KU) have dropped the Australia Network (ABC) from their broadcast.

Anyone know another bird that broadcasts it?

I'm told that Intelsat 8 (formerly PAS 8) carries it, but I was also told that it is too low on the western horizon to get a good signal.

Yes Intelsat 2 and 8 have it, pictures fine where I live.

Seach 'footprint' in your box, you will see all Sats and the coverage

Take a look at http://australianetwork.com/tuning/reception.htm then click the link "Receiving us via satellite?" near the bottom of the page for tuning information on 2 satelites.

These are the links to the satelite pages showing footprints.

Great links Farma.

Pas 8 - FTA - C band - so not rain affected?

Where are you guys? Good signal? I've got a 7.5' dish and live in Chonburi province but closer to Rayong than Chonburi.

indeed on IS 8, which is 166 degrees East, meaning it is even lower then the Agilla satellite.

However since it is C-band (which is non directional as opposed to the directional Ku band beams) it should be giving strong signal as long as there are no obstructions in the line of sight to the satellite.

Do note that ABC encrypts most of it's sports coverage (Rugby) You can however get a free smart card to descramble these games. You need a decoder box which takes Irdeto2 smartcards.

Your 7.5' dish will be fine for IS8 and you should experience no rain fade as the Australia Network signal is very strong. You will also receive BBC World on the same Satellite.

If your dish is a move system and you can not move the dish down low enough too see the satellite then you will have to get the local sat engineer out to adjust your motor a little. An easy job and should take them less than an hour to do.

Is real football (AFL) encryted too?

Yes, it sounds like I'll need a technician to adjust the limits of my motor... no line of sight problems towards the west.

Fortunately - no.

And finals coming up next week!

[sibeymai]

anyone know a satelite installer in the area bordered by Chacheongsao / Prachin Buri / Kabin Buri who can do this ? Any idea of cost for the dish and decoder and installation. Only interested in Oz TV and whatever else comes on PAS 8.

Is it possible to buy the bits and DIY ?

hello jai dee

i have just turned my dynasat F1 receiver on and the australia network

is still being broadcast by dream (agila ku).

dream have been playing games lately,make sure you input the 00 and the 01

code if you have a problem getting all the chanells.

if you input the active code and cant get all the chanells check the previous code

you might find they have altered the first 2 digits and input again

I went to that link but couldnt figure out how to find the key you talk about. I clicked the button that said key but that just displayed a web address that led to nowhere
