Setting up Continent TV equipment for the Intelsat 15 satellite

Satellite television

Telekarta TV is one of the popular satellite television providers in Russia. The package of channels began broadcasting in early October 2010. The broadcast takes place from the IntelSat 15 satellite (85.2 E). Some Russian channels are available for viewing for free and in Conax encoding. The fact that the video is broadcast in digital format will allow viewers to enjoy maximum image clarity. Most satellite receivers support a Conax access card for broadcasting various Telecard TV channels. Telekarta TV channels will provide you with a unique opportunity to view the most popular and rated world cinema channels.

Open channels from popular satellite positions 75 and 85 degrees

In our country, in small settlements, at the beginning of January 2019, there will be a shutdown of terrestrial analogue television. And TV viewers who want to continue watching their old TV have the opportunity to purchase a digital set-top box - an over-the-air receiver of the DVB-T2 standard. Such equipment will allow you to watch all 20 federal broadcast channels in digital quality. But, as practice shows, many families have satellite equipment from paid operators. Because there are often cases when a subscriber stops paying for a subscription and simply leaves the equipment idle, showing nothing. But it can still be used to receive free Russian-language channels from satellites. Simply, most often, the satellite dish needs to be reconfigured.

Let's take a closer look at which channels can be caught from the most popular satellites, with the exception of online stores, although it is possible that there are fans of watching such TV channels.

85 degrees

From the Horizons-2 and Intelsat 15 satellites, where the Telekarta operator is based, today you can receive on the MPEG-4 format receiver: “Soyuz”, “Channel 8”, “Raz TV”, “STS Love”, “Katun 24″, “Vostok” 24″, “Dog and Co”, “O2 TV”, “Omsk Channel 12”, “Success”, “Ru TV”, “Muz TV”, “Promotion”, “World of Belogorya”, “MIR 24″, “TDK ”, “Yu TV”, “TNT Music”, “Spas”, “BST”, “Zvezda”, “Nano”. As you can see, the list of channels is quite extensive, although the usual information TV channels are not among them.

75 degrees

Now we are transferring the antenna to the ABS-2, 2A satellites, where MTS satellite television is now based. From this position in the free access mode they broadcast: “Yu TV”, “Nadezhda”, “TV Channel 360”, “Moscow 24”, “Moscow Trust”, “TNT +4”, “LDPR Live”, “TNT”, “ Red Line”, “TNT4 +3″, “E”, “Horse World”, “Big Asia”, “TNV Planet”, “GTRK Grozny”, “TV3 +4″, “Friday”, “TNT4″, “Super ”, “Our Topic”, “2×2”, “Friday International”, “RBC TV”, “Super +2”, “Zvezda”, “Belarus TV”, “Mir”, “Mir +3”, “Mir 24” ″, “Channel 8”, “Together RF”, “Tochka TV”, “Kaleidoscope TV”, “Soyuz”, “360 news”, “Open World”, “DTV”, “Muz Soyuz”, “My World”, “TNT +7”. The results show that a good set of TV channels is broadcast from a position of 75 degrees. And such channels are quite enough for use, for example, on a second TV. So don’t forget about your old satellite equipment; perhaps it will still give you a significant number of different TV channels with good quality.

The most important news from the world of satellite television and from operators

Intelsat 15 / Horizons 2 85°E

You need to start working with the program by entering the geographic coordinates of your satellite dish installation point. Enter your coordinates in the “Antenna installation location coordinates” section. Northern latitude is “N”, southern latitude is “S”. Likewise, east longitude is “E” and west longitude is “W”. After the coordinates are entered, on the left side of the table you will receive a calculation of the angles for all satellites at once. The azimuth and elevation angle of the antenna (elevation angle) are calculated. The resulting azimuth is the direction to the satellite in degrees from the north direction in a clockwise direction. Elevation angle is the angle (in degrees) between the direction of the satellite signal and the tangent plane to the earth's surface at your receiving point. If the elevation angle is negative, then the satellite is hidden behind the horizon and receiving a signal from it is, in principle, impossible. Thus, from your observation point, satellites whose elevation angle is a positive value are theoretically visible. Knowing the azimuth, you can quickly navigate and determine the direction to the satellite, identify obstacles in the direction of the antenna (neighboring houses, trees). As mentioned above, the program operates with absolute values ​​and calculates everything using formulas. Thus, the resulting azimuth is the angle relative to absolute north, and not from what your compass can show, because a compass is a very unstable thing, especially in urban environments. It's better to navigate by the sun)

Additionally, the program implements the calculation of azimuth to the sun, and now you can do without a compass! The calculation is performed for the point whose geographic coordinates you specified to calculate the azimuth to the satellites. The height above sea level is considered to be 0 meters. You can specify a date (the current date is taken by default) and calculate the movement of the sun in one-minute increments. The calculation results are displayed in the table on the left side. For the sun, both the azimuth and the elevation angle at the current time are calculated. Thus, this gives you the opportunity to do without a compass at all when installing the antenna. First, determine the azimuth to the satellite you need. Then calculate the azimuth to the sun for the day you plan to install the antenna. Find in the table the azimuth of the sun that is most equal to the azimuth to the satellite, and you will get the time (and date) when the sun will be in the same direction as the satellite. At the right moment in time, we turn the antenna directly towards the sun, the azimuth of the sun at this moment coincides with the azimuth of the satellite. Or just mark this position and turn the antenna later. When calculating, do not forget to indicate your time zone (Moscow +3 hours from Greenwich). Additionally, the program calculates the azimuth of sunrise and sunset, as well as the time and elevation when the sun is due south.

The program does not take into account daylight saving time! Therefore, for summer time you need to add +1 hour to the obtained results of calculating the azimuth to the sun.
