Receiving Satellite TV
In this site, how to pick up China's satellite TV in Japan and in other countries are discussed.

My Location:
East Longtiude:139.7 North Latitude: 36.0

I put three dish antennas right outside of my balcony. The biggest 120cm antenna is fixed to face AsiaSat-2S. With an additional LNBF near the main LNBF, it can also receive the analog TV programs from AsiaSat-3S but focus is comparatively bad. And I use two receivers, digital receiver and analog receiver. The digital receiver is GSR-1110, made in Korea. The analog receiver is MUDEN-500, it is the best analog receiver made in Japan.

I receive many China’s provincial TV channels from AsiaSat2. Fujian, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Jilin, Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Anhui, Heilongjiang, Guangxi and Guangdong TV channels are robust and reliable. There are three more provincial channels, Jiangsu, Inner-Mongolian and Qinghai are weak and not reliable.

I can also receive the European Banquet transponder, which contains German, France (2 channels), Italian and Portuguese channels. WorldNet (American) Fashion TV, Arabian suite that contains four channels. In the Arabian suite, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE and Iranian TVs are available. There are six Macao channels from this satellite too.

I put an additional LNBF next to the main LNBF on the 120cm dish antenna, so that the AsiaSat3 signals can also be received though the signals are weaker since the LNB is not centered to the focus. The main programs on AsiaSat3S are Phoenix, Channel V and Start Sports. There are many other channels Chinese entertainment, India and Pakistan channels but all in PAL system. I can only view the PAL programs by routing the signals via an external system converter.

I always fix my 90cm antenna to the position for PAS-8. So that I can receive a Korean TV channel from Ku band. And Taiwanese Mux (with TV channels of CTS, CTS, TTV, FTV, Zhuchi, SET TV and Power TV) and many music radio channels), MTV China and MTV Asia and CCTV Mux (with CCTV-4 and CCTV-9) from C band.
