Receive data

satellite

Special antenna for receiving up to 16 satellite positions

The frequencies change frequently, often after a few months. The television stations also occasionally switch between encrypted and unencrypted broadcasts. Most of the satellites are located on Astra 2 (28.2 ° East) and on Hotbird (13 ° East) and can therefore be received with a standard satellite dish . Both satellite positions at the same time can be received in northern and western Germany, France , Benelux and Great Britain with a normal 80 cm satellite dish with two LNBs ( multifeed reception ). Reception problems can occur with programs on Astra 2D . The signal strength is very different within the German-speaking area. While a 55 cm satellite dish is sufficient in Cologne , Saarbrücken , Basel and Liechtenstein , 1.10 m is required in Magdeburg , Munich , Innsbruck and a 1.70 m satellite dish in Berlin and Dresden . Even more Asian satellite television can be brought onto the screen with a rotating antenna (with DiSEqC 1.2 or other motor control). With a fixed special antenna and DiSEqC 1.1 or 2.1, the simultaneous reception of up to 16 satellite positions is possible. But also on numerous C-band - satellite and cable networks is made in Europe so many TV Asia to find.
