On which satellite is the STAR channel located?
Why would you run and have a smoke break between watching different episodes if for these purposes (that is, broadcasting to television receivers of individual TV channels) “special” satellites called geostationary are used. As the name implies, they do not at all dart around the Earth at the speed of the Voskhod ship, but calmly and solidly wind up turns at the same angular speed that our planet itself exposes its sides to the sun. Thus, such satellites remain above the same exact earth's surface constantly, which allows for broadcast stability without the signal “jumping” from one low-orbit satellite to another as they alternately escape beyond the horizon.
Satellites with free Russian-language channels - relevant for 2021
Currently, there are a huge number of satellites that broadcast television channels. However, the optimal choice of the required satellite can create some problems for those who are not familiar with satellite television.
To simplify the process of choosing an acceptable option, let's look at the most popular niche - satellites with free Russian-language channels for 2021, which broadcast in the CIS countries and the European Union.
What should be done?
If you are not a satellite TV subscriber, encoding will not affect you, you can continue to watch your favorite channels without any hindrance through the broadcast type you previously selected.
If you are a satellite subscriber and want to continue to enjoy the benefits of satellite TV, you need to take a few simple steps in order not to be left without access to television programs that are broadcast by 1+1, 2+2, TET, PLUSPLUS, Curlers, UNIAN and others popular Ukrainian TV channels.
Flaws
The fundamental disadvantage is weather dependence. Weather conditions affect the broadcasting of any TV channels, this is especially pronounced in rainy or snowy weather.
The antenna should be directed strictly south, the quality of the picture depends on this. This is due to the fact that satellites are in most cases located near the equator.
An obstacle between the dish and the satellite can worsen or completely interrupt communication. For example, a tree may grow or greenery may weave around a plate.
Choosing the right place to install a satellite dish is the first task
Sometimes the receiver needs servicing. Channels may periodically change encodings and, accordingly, may disappear from the TV screen.

How to watch blocked “Star” on the territory of Ukraine: instructions
, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko signed a decree introducing restrictive measures against the Zvezda TV channel. In this article we will tell viewers how they can watch their favorite TV programs on the air of “Zvezda” in Ukraine.
Satellites:
Viewers living in Ukraine can watch the Zvezda TV channel using the services of satellite operators such as Tricolor TV and NTV-Plus.
"Tricolor TV":
To watch programs on the Zvezda TV channel and listen to Zvezda radio via Tricolor TV, you need to have a satellite dish with a converter. You must also have the “Unified” TV channel package connected, which includes the “Zvezda” TV channel.
You can configure reception from the Tricolor TV satellite using the following parameters:
Reception frequency – 12111 MHz Polarization – left circular Symbol rate – 27.5 Msym/s Compression standard – MPEG 4 Standard – DVB-S2 Modulation – 8PSK FEC – 3/4
"NTV-Plus":
To watch the Zvezda TV channel using NTV-Plus, you will also need a satellite dish and a receiver with an access card. In addition, you must have the “Basic – Ukraine” TV channel package connected. You can set up the Zvezda TV channel using the following parameters:
Reception frequency – 11785.02 MHz Transponder No. 4 Polarization – right circular Symbol rate – 27.5 Msym/s (SR) Error correction code – 3/4 Standard – DVB-S2 Modulation – 8QPSK Compression standard – MPEG 4
Issues of unlocking access cards and paying for satellite operator services will be brought to the attention of Zvezda viewers as relevant information is released from NTV-Plus and Tricolor TV.
Terrestrial satellite reception:
The Zvezda TV channel is also distributed from the Express AM6 and Express AM7 satellites in the public domain. To receive the signal you will need a satellite dish with a diameter of 0.9 to 1.2 m, a PBI, Wellav or Harmonic digital receiver. Please note that to watch the Zvezda TV channel, your TV must support receiving TV channels in the DVB-S2 format.
Reception parameters for the Express AM6 satellite:
Transponder frequency – 3,685 MHz Barrel – No. 6a Polarization – circular left Symbol rate – 15.28 Msym/s Error Correction Code (FEC) – 3/4 Modulation – 8PSK Broadcasting standard – DVB-S2/MPEG-4
Reception parameters for the Express AM7 satellite:
Transponder frequency – 3,685 MHz Barrel – No. 6a Polarization – circular left Symbol rate – 15.28 Msym/s Error Correction Code (FEC) – 3/4 Modulation – 8PSK Broadcasting standard – DVB-S2/MPEG-4
Smart TV:
Viewers who have Samsung, LG or Philips TVs can also watch programs from the Zvezda TV channel without special equipment and completely free of charge, using the Smart TV service.
To install the application on a Samsung TV, you need to use the Samsung Apps service.
Owners of LG TVs can install the application by downloading it from LG Smart World.
The Zvezda TV channel app is also available in the Philipps TV App Gallery.

Why is this happening?
In addition to the fact that Ukrainian TV channels produce content independently, they buy films and TV series abroad, rights to sports broadcasts, show formats, children’s programs and other television products at their own expense. When purchasing rights to them, channels must guarantee the rights holders compliance with their obligations to broadcast them, including the obligation to broadcast this content exclusively in the broadcast territory determined by the agreements and in the manner established by the agreements.
Unfortunately, broadcasting a television signal in an open format is an opportunity for its unauthorized reception and rebroadcast by pirates: having received a television signal, they illegally offer it to subscribers for money, thus profiting from viewers and exposing them to the prospect of being left without television at any time. As a result, channels do not receive sufficient funds to create or purchase new high-quality content, and are also at risk of penalties from copyright holders whose content via open satellite broadcast could not remain 100% protected from piracy. In addition, the satellite signal abroad is encrypted - this is a solution that countries came to many years ago, which made it possible to have a qualitative impact on the fight against pirates and had a significant impact on the development of the pay television market.
Therefore, in order for Ukrainian television content to be at the level of foreign ones, and the program offerings of Ukrainian television channels to be promptly replenished with world news, satellite encoding is a logical phenomenon from which all participants, including viewers, benefit.
