(Read 1675 times)

Ex Member Ex Member	Aug 31^st, 2007 at 4:39pm Dear All, we have a local TV broadcasting the town and we will like to broadcast from a satellite (any KU band satellite covering central Africa). Can someone advice on: - Equipment needed, - Bandwidth availability and anything necessary to go through with this project. Thank You.

Please say what country you are uplinking from and to what countries you want to downlink to.

As an example only, applicable to countries in 'southern Africa' see here:
https://www.satsig.net/global-teleports/transponder-bandwidth-sale-ku-south-afri...

In April there was some cheap bandwidth available in �self to self beam connectivity at $4400 per month per MHz. �I guess you might need 2.6 MHz, for one video and one sound channel.

Ku band is fine for intended home reception with small antennas but if your purpose is to distribute programs to headends and local transmitters then larger dishes with �C band (circular polarisation) might be preferred to reduce outage time in heavy rain.

Best regards, Eric.
