This is a list of the free-to-air channels that are currently available via satellite from SES Astra satellites (Astra 2E/2F/2G) at orbital position 28.2 °E, serving Ireland and the United Kingdom. Sky and Freesat use these satellites to deliver their channels.
A low-noise block downconverter (LNB) is the receiving device mounted on satellite dishes used for satellite TV reception, which collects the radio waves from the dish and converts them to a signal which is sent through a cable to the receiver inside the building.
Two monoblock LNB can be connected to one receiving dish using Multi-satellite techniques. However, the expected results of such connections may vary or be sub-optimal. The results may yield low-level signals from some or all of the satellites or it may work well in certain geographically favorable locations.
Special LNBs have been developed for use in single-cable distribution systems. All four sub-bands of the Ku band (low frequency/horizontal polarity, high frequency/horizontal polarity, low frequency/vertical polarity, high frequency/vertical polarity) are received by a conventional front end, amplified and downconverted to the L-band, to be fed to a number of SatCR (Satellite Channel Router ...
This enables channels to be broadcast free-to-air but with reception effectively constrained to the British Isles, and has been the basis for the Freesat free-to-air United Kingdom platform. [6] As of December 2024, there is only one transponder on Astra 2G that broadcasts using the UK beam (11023 H), with all others moving to either Astra 2E ...
The allocation of radio frequencies is provided according to Article 5 of the ITU Radio Regulations (edition 2012). [2]In order to improve harmonisation in spectrum utilisation, the majority of service-allocations stipulated in this document were incorporated in national Tables of Frequency Allocations and Utilisations which is with-in the responsibility of the appropriate national frequency ...
The NOAA broadcasts weather warnings and forecasts as the National Weather Radio (NWR) across seven public radio frequencies: 62.400 megahertz, 162.425 MHz, 162.450 MHz, 162.475 MHz, 162.500 MHz ...
A satellite dish is a dish-shaped type of parabolic antenna designed to receive or transmit information by radio waves to or from a communication satellite. The term most commonly means a dish which receives direct-broadcast satellite television from a direct broadcast satellite in geostationary orbit .
