Tapping into a Transatlantic Relay Satellite
Вставка

- In this video we search for the most distant, and lowest in the sky Satellite, and find Hispasat-30, a Transatlantic Relay Satellite. We do a Blind Scan to find some interesting programming being relayed across the Americas, Caribbean, Middle East, Africa, & Europe. Business enquiries please contact me here: contact@commandergateway.com
European Hispasat user here. Our two main TV providers in Portugal use Hispasat to host their tv channels (encrypted in nagravision), but those transponders are not broadcasting to America. Maybe if you had a dish with the size of a building, you could catch the signal :) It's interesting to see how wide is the coverage of a pair of satellites over the Atlantic
Yes, here in South America there is the same feeds available in the north as in the video, but not the European pay tv services as it is out of footprint
Outro tuga aqui! I remember seeing an article many years ago of a man who was able to receive ASTRA 19 in America with a huge dish, I believe it was 5 meters, it was in the analogue era reception has a lot of noise but was still watchable, it was so much time ago I don't remenber the details. I can't find it anywhere though.
@@t0nito You mean this? ua-cam.com/video/x3bN53cxzBg/v-deo.html
@@t0nito Era no sul do Brasil, e a antena era de cerca de 10 metros de diâmetro. Pertencia a um senhor alemão.
@@juniorbcm5375 penso também que a antena foi feita de raíz, não era uma antena comercial. Já procurei tudo mas não encontrei o artigo nem o vídeo.
So in the morning you can have your coffee and see the radio spectrum, sounds like an awesome start to the day
Turned in too your TV satellite's rebroadcasts from England UK
One thing I want to tell everybody: Cubavisión and Cubavisión Internacional, even they share the name, they're not the same channel. Cubavisión is a national channel and only broadcasts inside Cuba, and the other is the international outlet of the Cuban broadcasts. Here in my city is a cable TV operator that has the international channel, why? Because is an FTA channel without encyption and I think they don't charge TV operators to broadcast it.
The reason is licensing and copyright. Austrian television broadcasts the national program encrypted for people in Austria, my father in law, who lives in Germany pretty close to the border, purchased a DVBT receiver, to get the normal Austrian program, the non encrypted channel can't show international shows and also skips movies, would be too expensive to cover all Europe.
here in Mosul,Iraq i can receive pretty much all Hispasat channels , but here you need a good line of sight to it because its near the horizon
here its mainly received because soccer "Spanish clubs" .
I remember using the Skygrabber software and a PCI DVB-S2 card on Telstar 12, tuned to a DVB IP transponder. You could see some of the files people were acessing, mostly on Orkut social media.
Excellent content as always
Imagine being able to watch Japanese TV channel in the US
This is cool
i really like this satellite stuff you do
Excellent video dude!
I remember 10y ago that I helped my uncle to find the Star One C2 satellite for our TVBox with the help of an app within my Pocket Neo. I think that my grandma still uses the Star One C2 link. Now I'm finishing my eng. telecommunications degree, encouraged by my uncle (also telecom engineer).
Hey, which model it is the antenna, or the kit?
Where can I get a dish like that 😊keep up good work
I always love coming across color bars, fortunately, I believe I can cover from 65w to 129w at my current place
This man needs to tutor me
I would love to play around with that dish. Sadly my view to the geostationary band is very narrow here.
@@peterfairlie2296 Australia, however I'm massively surrounded by houses on both sides due to the shape of my yard
The spectrum analyser said, I think, 3.6GHz on it. Where did that figure come from?
Wow! that positioner, Antenna and controller are really expensive!
Can you pick up Sky TV from UK & EU? not sure if they encrypt them.
1:38 Adblock buddy. Makes everything on the internet much cleaner.
Curious what you would get if you pointed your dish at those other satellites seen on your iPad.
I'd love to scan the sky over here in the US to see what's out there. Sadly a lot of it is encrypted because it's dish or directv.
Modern internet is unusable without adblock. And that's why i rarely use android chrome, ads everywhere
@@Gameplayer55055 my phone has samsung internet which you can download an ad blocker to it and the ads go away. I can download a few different ones too.
@@Gameplayer55055 incorrect, IT engineer for 20 years, chrome fine on my laptop using AdGuard and UBlock Origin to block ads. We aren't talking about phones as it was a laptop in this video
Watching those videos, I really miss my old satellite dish. Unfortunately it's not possible for me at my current apartment to use a sat dish. :( Ground floor, surrounded by buildings, no access to the roof etc...
@@peterfairlie2296 Yes very much appreciated. Before satellite I did a lot of terrestrial DX'ing. I have put some VCR recordings on my channel. Sweden in the late 80's and early 90's was like a desert when it comes to TV. Being able to sometimes receive the neighboring countries' TV stations was very exciting back then.
Do you own the satellite dishes that you show in your videos
Which app you using for sat locations? Is there one for android?
I am receiving Hispasat 30w too (in North America) and I have the same channels from Cuba on it. What kind of positioner and software on the PC do you use? My satellite receiver is just like yours, but I have never seen the antenna or the positioner (motor) that you have. What is it and where can it be purchased?
@@peterfairlie2296 Thank you! I really appreciate it.
@@peterfairlie2296 I am in Washington DC.
That was educational master channel
Would it be possible to hook that or a large dish up to your ethernet port and connect to all the wifi within miles?
Can you find the music service sat for DMX/Mood media in the birds up there?. It is listed on lyngsat for the US. Europe has it too, but the satelite is unknown, probably astra or something. I wonder if it is encrypted as the receiver boxes for in-store radio seem fairly "dumb".
SES 3 at 103.0°W: 12145 V
@@peterfairlie2296 I'm curious about this too. I've been in a hardware store that had an in-store music system playing and skynyrd was playing but it sounded muffled. I'm wondering if it's just filtering by the receiver or maybe the audio itself has a low sample rate maybe 22khz at 64kbps. Not even sure what file format is in use AAC maybe, MP3? You should do a video on that if you haven't already.
@@peterfairlie2296 I completely missed your comments! Wow, you already had quite a dive into the subject, haha. I don't have the gear or anything, the topic is just fascinating to me, and as more and more businesses move toward internet delivery I don't think this service will last very long any more. Yeah, you guys over in the US/Canada call it Muzak, I forgot about that.
@@peterfairlie2296 Wow that's a good selection of stations. I could spend a few hours flipping through those. Sort of like SiriusXM. Any idea of the actual sample rate and bit rate of the streams? Stereo, I'm assuming mono since it's a background music system.
@peterfairlie2296 every video you make absolutely intrigues me or crosses into the guts of research I've previously done. Ive looked into Musak before that's crazy that some stores actually have their own personalized channel. Hmm. Wonder why that would be? Store specific ads? Time to do some more research.
What system are you using? Is it still possible to get free channels from satellites these days? Like free Comedy Central, free AMC...things like that.
There are free TV channels on all kind of sats, but you won't receive AMC, Comedy Central or similar because they're encrypted.
This is fun 😀
Thank you for these great videos. Where would you recommend getting used sat dish systems like this? I'm US based. Cheers
@peterfairlie2296 thank you, I really liked the automated mount of the VSAT antenna and wondered where I could find used ones for sale. Cheers 👍
What equipment are you using? That satellite receiver looks interesting. I’d like to get into something like this
What type of satellite is this and can it be used in the usa im looking to get back into the satellite hobby im used to c band
Wow! I am so interested in this hobby! As a beginner how can I get started?how much does the satellite disc cost?
Please teach me how to get started.
I live in Taiwan Asia, I don’t think we have any satellites here? I would like to watch western tv and learn English,
i have a passion of satellites and how they have simplified communicationn and data transmission, i would love to do more research, how can one obtain the sats. please advise.
مني شبح قناة ليبيا الوطنية 😂😂😂
What app is this?
unrelated but look at adguard home or pihole to block ads network wide
@@peterfairlie2296AdGuard Home (not the app) is a network-level ad-blocker, that basically uses the same principles as the hosts file, to deny (or approve) a list of domains, but for every device in the network, acting as your own personal DNS server with custom lists. It's actually easy to set-up (an old low-power PC, or a Raspberry Pi can do the trick), and works amazingly well. Pi-Hole does the same, it's just another project.
"uBlock Origin" will also do
There are a few Italy channel
Our national channels at beginning of the list
Telerebelde is for Sports.
Cubavisión is the main channel with varied programming, used to show communist propaganda sometimes.
Educativo y Educativo 2 (Educative) both were created for educational and indoctrination purpose.
Multivisión its programming primarily consists of imports from other countries.
ACN(Cuban News Agency).
, I don't watch TV btw.
How come the signals not encrypted? Anyone could be enjoying free tv?
Fun
What iPad app was that
Name of app on iPad
can i recive those channels using inetvu 7000A controller? can i buy corrtc dish and connect is there any forums? thank you!!!!
