Satellite Television

My equipment for reception
of ASTRA 1 and Eutelsat Hotbird
  • CityCom 2000 85cm multifeed offset-parabolic antenna
  • Thomson twin universal-lnc (for Astra 19,2°E)
  • Grundig* single universal-lnc (for Hotbird 13°E)
  • TechniSat* MultyMedia ADR 1 satellite receiver
  • Nokia d-box Multimedia DVB terminal


Besides some links to satellite news, I offer my personal frequency listings that I created to have quick and simple access to all important data concerning the transponders with analogue transmissions and ADR. The latest versions are available here on my website.

At the moment I am not planning to provide listings for digital services, because there are already sufficient listings available on the internet and most digital satellite receivers are able to scan transponders.

    Some browsers will not show the table until it is loaded completely, with a slow connection this might take some moments. If your browser does not support stylesheets, please select manually the font 'Arial CE' at size 11pt for a good layout.

    Despite intensive solicitude there is no guarantee for correctness of my listings.

History

1990 I used simple satellite reception equipment for receiving programmes from the Astra satellite, because terrestric reception of the new private tv stations was very bad and there was no cable-tv network in our village at that time. With the growing Astra satellite system there were more and more channels. Soon, the Keller got an own connection to our satellite dish. When MTV Europe decided to encrypt programmes in 1994, I upgraded our equipment for multifeed reception in order to be able to watch the german music station VIVA.
Meanwhile with a digital satellite receiver countless digital stations are available via the two main satellite systems for central europe, Astra and Hotbird. Everything you want to see and everything you never missed.
