Would just like to give follow-on information to jsat recent post regarding CinemaWorld HD on Telstar 18.

Have watched this content for awhile. Free quality HD movies from around the world, in several languages, all with English language subtitle. No commercials, or image censoring.

http://cinemaworld.asia/

(Also, on Telstar 18 as part of D-Sky package is ETTV Foreign Movie, which is free programming. Quality English language movies, with Chinese subtitle. But, with commercial interruptions.)

Equipment required is a C-band dish and HD capable receiver.

Cheers

jsat has previously posted regarding the Skynindo package Palapa D (113 E) being broadcast as FTA.

The package again became FTA around midnight last night.

And, the routine for many months now has been for the Skynindo package to be broadcast as FTA from Saturday midnight through Monday midnight each week. About, two days of free programming each week.

http://www.lyngsat.com/packages/skynindo.html

*Note that ESPN and Star Sports do remain encrypted.

But, all other channels are free, including ASN.

Would add also that the the Skynindo movie channels are not premium channels. Although, Haari Movie does have some English language movies. And, the HD channel is National Geographic (day)/Fashion Channel (night).

Aside from the Skynindo package, the "RCTI" channel, "O" channel, and "Global TV" channel on the Palapa D satellite do randomly broadcast free English language movies and American tv series "Macgruber" programs. But, with varying lengths of commercial interruptions.

Cheers

Australia Network Pacific is moving from IS5 to IS18 this week

Intelsat, the provider of satellite capacity to Australia Network (and Radio Australia) is launching new satellites which will affect the reception of these ABC services throughout the Pacific.

Between early August and end of September 2012, Australia Network will be transitioning from Intelsat 5 at 169° East to Intelsat 18 at 180° East. If you are presently receiving Australia Network from Intelsat 5, you will need to re-point your satellite dish to Intelsat 18 (IS18) and make changes to the satellite dish feedhorn from linear polarity to circular polarity.

Read the Rebroadcasters - Pacific information sheet (pdf) for more information about the change from IS-5 to IS-18. http://australianetwork.com/tuning/satellite_pacific_DTH.pdf

For the technology challenged amongst us, how do we check to see if we're connected to Intelsat 5?

I looked at the menu but couldn't find anything.

The satellite 95% of Thailand uses is Intelsat 8 also called on older set top boxes, Panamsat 8 and PAS 8, so if it says any of these then you are OK, else a quick call to your satellite provider may be in order.

Edit: If you also had the rugby card from Australia Network then you are on Intelsat 8 / Pas 8 so no issue - as Intelsat 5 used a different system for the rugby.

Think they are channels from a Myanmar based operator.

Mpeg4 as well so suitable receiver needed

Correct these channels are part of SkyNet as shown on this link http://jsat.tv/skynet.html which is a great as it also has Sky News on a small ubc/true dish.

The OpenBox / SkyBox transponder list for satellites from 62.5e to 172e on the C and Ku bands (as we see them from here in Thailand) has been updated in the shop (free download) on this link http://jsat.tv/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=64

*Warning * if you have a clone box do not use it, as it will most likely brick all clone boxes and not our responsibility if that happens

Just curious? How can you verify if an Openbox is a clone or a real one?

longball53098,

Openbox clone? You can try the instructions in this URL;

http://www.ftaprofessionals.tv/openbox-s9-instructions/14911-how-find-out-if-your-openbox-skybox-not-clone.html

Verifying further will require looking inside the box. And, a bit of DIY.

But, a successful flash will be the ultimate test.

Edited August 25, 201213 yr by TwentyBaht

Thanks,,,,,,,and i have a real Openbox based on this test.

Just put in an IPM HD receiver for a Thai friend and it seems to be a very nice piece of kit!

Plays everything you throw at it, HD, mpeg4, h264 whatever.

Comes obviously with the ipm channels (on nss6), but it's actually a fully configurable fta receiver on top. At a glance most visible satellites are preprogrammed with all their transponders, and it has a clean easy interface to put in anything yourself.

All the diseq controls are there, so multiple or moveable dish no problem.

Has 2 usb ports, plays all your media from thumbdrive or external hdd.

Also is works as pvr when hdd attached.

Paid 2800 Baht, 65cm offset dish with universal lnb included.

Most installers ask 1000-1500 extra to install.

Ipm has pretty much everything your average Thai might want, over 100 channels.

There's 5 movie channels, of which 3 show Western movies, both Thai dubbed and original soundtrack available.

4 HD channels as well, but only the travel channels is in English.

Bye bye TVNZ, allot of kiwis will miss you in Asia

After many years of Kiwi ex-Pats being able to view TVNZ ONE News from the Intelsat 5 satellite, TVNZ will be leaving our Asian skies in the next few weeks.

TVNZ Pacific Service on Intelsat 5 is moving to:

Satellite: IS19

FREQ: 4145

SR: 4000

from the 5th of September at 16:30hrs NZST (10:30 local time).

I for one would like to extend my thanks for the service they also provided across the region enabling many ex-Pats. wives and families to keep up to date with what is going on in New Zealand.

Solar outages over the next two weeks

During March and September of each year (also know as the Solar Equinox) for two weeks the Sun will move behind all the satellites you are watching and cause brief outages on your TV ranging from 5 - 15 minutes of black screens. If you do not see your satellite signals after 30 minutes then there is something else wrong.

This outage period is expected from 01SEP12 to 11SEP12 across all satellites in our Thai skies.

With the demise of DMX in a weeks time this is a great free alternative that many move dish users across the region have been using for the last 6 year plus. If you have a move dish on the C Band (not upset by the weather) you can tune them in to your system for free. More details on this link - http://www.lyngsat.com/JCSAT-3A.html and can be used with the starter pack on our web site.

Yes, you need a second dish (small 65 cm offset dish) for the nss channels.

You don't need a splitter but a diseq switch.

You will also need to set the ipm box correctly so it will control the diseq switch correctly.
