What satelite u recive in asia?

[BeefSlapper]

Hi, if I bring for example Sky UK tv box and dish, would that work here, and pick up satelite? or we are on other side of planet and no signal?

I think it uses ASTRA satelite.

Would europe satelite box works in thailand, or cant catch signal/satelite.

thx

We had a good satellite connection just a while back, but it fell into the ocean near Phuket.

In the UK, I have, sitting in a cupboard a portable satellite receiver and tuner used for camping and when at our old house in France...something like that might find you something to watch, although most of us just stream from the internet now.

mine wont so i can only guess yours wont different systems encoded you cant just wander up to a satellite and expect to connect

maybe the earths curvature has some thin to do with it ??

Im sure any european satelite tv works in any europe country.

For example satelite tv from poland works in uk. Sky uk works in germany.

But I want know if it would works in Thailand.

Satellites usually have a very limited area that they service. This is due both by power limitations and by design (geo-restricted content).

The farther you get away from the targeted signal area the larger the dish need to be to collect enough signal to render an image ... up to the point that you travel far enough away that the curvature of the Earth blocks the satellite's line-of-sight.

Many people around the world have installed LARGE satellite dishes to receive distant/weak signals. It's possible, just not very practical.

Most "branded" Satellite Set Top Boxes are only capable of receiving broadcasts from satellites in their service area and won't work with similar service elsewhere on the planet, mostly due to contract restrictions.

The Satellite Set Top Boxes that use DVB-S2 can receive the Free-To-Air/FreeView (FTA/FV) channels sent openly in the digital transport streams, and some are even capable of receiving encrypted content. But you'll find that the better subscription services require you use only their 'branded' set-top-boxes.

As for using a UK Skybox here... sadly, no. It won't work.

You're better off finding a more local service.

If you're interested in the technical info, take a look at LYNGSAT website that shows all the working broadcast satellites and their services

LyngSat Europe Asia

Another alternative is to find an Internet Service that delivers the UK Sky content. Many options already discussed in these forums.

So far as I know a satellite must have a clear view to the dish, so will not work direct as the earth is in the way for a direct view to UK..

There are a number [think 32 satellites] can be viewed in Thailand, many now a day are locked to the set top box, few in English unless you pay.. Do have a large motorized dish but not used for a few years now. as more and more were no longer Free to View.

These days many use the internet, you can watch TV from more or less anywhere in the World, or IPTV here. mostly work OK. many adverts on watching UK TV via IPTV in Thailand

Every satellite has a footprint for each of his transponders. You can receive a transpinder only, if you are in its projected footprint with the projected dish size.

You can use your UK Box here in Thailand. But you will receive satellite positoned over the Thailand Sky! Maybe you have heard something that the earth is no longer a flat thing, but a shere??

I use KODI i got everything free.

But quality is better on satelites. No buffering...

Thai net is slow... and most servers are in europe or usa

And i got someone doing doggy sat tv in uk, but it needs satelite.

Thx for info

So I assume its a no go....
