How does this work?

 

[Quantum Theory]

You need a 100-120cm Ku-band dish alligned to Telstar 12 and a DVB-S2 HD decoder.

Ahaa, but this is Telstar 12 and the DSTV test transponder is on IS7.

Some of dstv's distribution feeds are there.

Some of dstv's distribution feeds are there.

But DStv does not use Telstar 12 at all.

 

[JustAsk]

You're talking about the broadcast feeds.

 

[avr-rulez]

Still no History HD pics?

 

[ToxicBunny]

No,

Multichoice do NOT have transponder space on Telstar 12...

Multichoice have a contract with Intelsat who own and operate the IS series of satellites. Telstar series of satellites are owned and operated by Loral Skynet. Different companies.

Why would MC use a different satellite for their test feeds? That just seems daft from start to finish.

 

[JustAsk]

Why do you need pics? It's there,its open and listed on lyngsat

You all are talking about broadcast feeds,i'm talking about distribution feeds to their playout centre.These are not owned by Multichoice.See the ESPN feeds and the DMC feeds(including History HD) on Telstar12,that's what you get on dstv.THESE ARE THE DISTRUBITION FEEDS TO DSTV'S PLAYOUT CENTRE IN RANDBURG...using a weak encryption.

btw Multichoice has space on Intelsat 7,10,Eutelsat Sesat and Eutelsat W4...but that was not the point.
