What if the ball deigns to disappear, or all sorts of sanctions from the authorities in law, or another type of lawlessness, suddenly falls on our heads...

So free satellite TV channels will come in handy!

The most common satellite TV option for watching free channels... these are 3 satellites (HotBird 13°, Sirius 5°, Amos 4°, Astra 19°).

Watching channels from these satellites does not require any special cards or subscription fees, but the content of the channels is very inferior to all paid packages.

Here, mostly open Ukrainian channels are broadcast, some Russian channels of international format, and other open channels partially in Russian.

As compensation for the meager content of this option, the fact that these satellites broadcast a huge number of foreign channels, both open and encoded on any topic, including those with a Russian soundtrack and channels “for adults.”

Some of the encrypted channels can now be watched “for free” using receivers or CAM modules with a built-in emulator.

List of channels... take away:

Another option for free viewing is channels broadcast from eastern satellites (LMI-1 75°, Express AM22 53°, Express AM2 80°).

However, these satellites are not installed on one antenna. Most often, an antenna with a diameter of 0.85 and one converter are installed.

Russian channels are broadcast on eastern satellites.

You can choose any of these satellites as an addition to a 3-satellite system. But there is a version of the rotary system, which includes both Western and Eastern satellites.

However... I’ll tell you a secret that nothing will replace the ball yet. Of course, an official card is even better, but if finances are crying, then alas... there is nothing else left.

"Directory" - information on various electronic components: transistors, microcircuits, transformers, capacitors, LEDs etc. The information contains everything necessary for selecting components and carrying out engineering calculations, parameters, as well as housing pinouts, typical switching circuits and recommendations for the use of radio elements.

Which satellite signals can be received in Moscow and the Moscow region? What antennas should I use? Groups of receivers and their capabilities? What do you need to have to receive satellite channels? These and other questions will be discussed in the article published here.

As is known, satellite broadcasting is the transmission through a relay satellite, for example, of television image and sound signals from ground-based transmitting stations to users. The block diagram of the satellite broadcasting system is shown in Fig. 1. The encoded signal from the studio arrives via cable to the transmitting center, and then to the transmitting antenna, which is aimed at the repeater satellite. The diameter of this antenna is usually 3...5 m. The sent signal is received by the satellite antenna, processed by a transponder and sent back to Earth. The signal is picked up by the user's receiving antenna and sent to the converter.

The main purpose of the converter is to transfer the signal spectrum from the satellite interval 10... 13 GHz to the radio frequency interval 900... 1200 MHz. From the output of the converter, the signal comes to the satellite receiver-receiver. It decodes the signal and converts it into analog, which is sent to the low-frequency audio and video inputs of the TV. In addition to television signals, satellites also relay radio broadcasts. Switching to processing the latter in the receiver occurs upon command from the remote control.

You can also receive a signal from a satellite on a computer using the so-called DVB cards SS1 and SS2. The card is installed in the computer. There is a tuner on it to which the satellite dish is connected. In this case, the computing power of a computer is used to decode and process the video signal.

The satellites are located in geostationary orbit at an altitude of about 36,000 km. It is known that the angular speed of the satellites on it is equal to the speed of rotation of the Earth. Therefore, the satellite seems to constantly hang over a certain point on the earth’s surface and there is no need to install a tracking system on the receiving antenna. Movement in vacuum in orbit occurs for a long time without energy consumption. The energy generated by solar panels is consumed mainly by transceiver equipment. Of course, satellite orbital parameters change over time. To restore the original orbit, correction engines are installed on them. The service life of the satellite can reach 10...15 years.

Table 1

Television broadcasts from satellites are carried out in two formats: analogue and digital. However, due to the low quality of the picture, the number of analog channels is insignificant and continues to decline. The industry has long stopped producing analog receivers, so this article deals only with digital ones. In total, there are about 70 satellites in geostationary orbit. However, due to a number of circumstances (service area, orbital inclination angle, receiving antenna diameter, etc.) in Moscow and the region it is possible to receive signals from about 10. The most popular are the following.

Table 2

Eutelsat W4. Reception is possible with an antenna with a diameter of 60 cm. The domestic provider NTV+ also broadcasts through this satellite. In total - more than 100 Russian and best European television channels. The topics are very diverse: films, music, TV series, sports, travel, the animal world, history, science, business, politics, religion, children's channels, erotica. The number of channels is constantly increasing. If you have a home theater, you can listen to sound in Dolby Digital AC3 format. Almost all channels are translated into Russian. Film screenings are not interrupted by advertising. There is an "electronic guide" with a brief summary of the programs. Three channels are conducting test broadcasts in HDTV (high definition television) format. It is planned to open their regular broadcasting. All channels, except informational, are closed with Viaccess 2.5 encoding. To view, you must enter into an agreement with the company and purchase a conditional admission card.

The second Russian provider broadcasting via this satellite is TRICOLOR TV. Currently it transmits a package of 14 central television channels. Channels, except informational, are closed with DRE Crypt encoding. There is no subscription fee for viewing; it is included in the price of the receiver. To receive the TRICOLOR package, DRE 4000, DRE 5000 receivers with a built-in DRE Crypt decoder are used. Viewing is also possible on other receivers that have a C1 slot for connecting a CAM module (more about it below). Additionally, you need to purchase the DRE Crypt module with a conditional admission card. The appearance of the module with the map is shown in Fig. 2. In 2007, the company plans to include 14 more channels in the package, but this time they will be paid.

In addition to paid closed ones, 14 television and 5 radio broadcasting channels are openly broadcast from satellite.

Hot Bird. The required antenna diameter is 90 cm. This is a constellation of five satellites. In total there are more than 1,500 television channels, of which about 450 are open, including about 20 Russian-language ones. Over 300 digital radio stations are broadcast. Viewing closed channels is possible with an access card. The reception area is designed mainly for European spectators. For some channels, for example, RTVi, SexView, cards can also be purchased in Russia.

Astral E-1H/2C/1KR 19.2° east. d. Reception is provided by an antenna with a diameter of 1.2 m. Over 400 channels are broadcast, with about 100 open.

Express AM22 53° east. d. The diameter of the receiving antenna is 90 cm. About 30 Russian-language channels.

Sirius2/3 5° E. d. Antenna diameter - 90 cm. Approximately 30 channels, of which 5 are Russian-language and 9 are in Ukrainian.

Of course, information about the number of channels on satellites is approximate. The fact is that the situation changes daily. Some channels disappear, new ones appear in their place, encoding, transponder frequency and other parameters change. Current information about changes on satellites can be obtained on the Internet, for example, on the website.

For users, kits are available for self-installation of the receiving system. The kit includes everything you need: receiver, antenna with mounting bracket, converter, antenna cable, plugs. The price of the set is 8... 10 thousand rubles. It depends mainly on the type of receiver and antenna diameter. In addition, there are kits for receiving signals from several satellites simultaneously using a rotating antenna or multifeeds (more on them below). The price of such kits is 3...5 thousand rubles. higher.

For first time users, it is recommended to start by tuning into Hot Bird satellites. And here's why. Firstly, the relative ease of setup. The setup method, converter type, and transponder parameters are available in popular literature. Secondly, there is a large number of open (free) channels. And thirdly, the presence of Russian-language channels: ORT Planeta, RTR Planeta, K+, Muz Box Russian, Adjara, TBN, RTVi, etc.

Before purchasing satellite equipment, you need to make sure that signals can be received at the location where the antenna is installed. In the southwest direction there should be no obstacles in the form of hills, trees, buildings and other structures. The simplest check can be done using a compass, ruler and protractor. In addition, you need to know the azimuth (direction to the satellite) and elevation (elevation of the satellite above the horizon). For Moscow (55.75° N and 37.58° E), the magnetic azimuth of the Hot Bird satellites is approximately 209°, and the elevation angle is 23°. At the antenna installation site, the direction 209° is marked on the compass. A protractor is installed in the vertical plane in this direction. Apply a ruler to it and set the angle to 23°. Sliding your gaze along the ruler, visually check the absence of obstacles.

If there is no compass, the direction to the satellite can be determined by the Sun. For Hot Bird, it coincides with the position of the Sun at 14.00 maternity (winter) time. If there are no obstacles, installation of the antenna is possible. Isolated trees with a sparse crown weaken the signal by about a third. In this case, reception is possible, but with an increased antenna diameter. If the direction is completely blocked, you must choose another installation location or install the antenna on the roof. In difficult situations, it is better to invite specialists. They will measure the signal level and give an objective assessment of reception capabilities. The parameters for installing antennas on the most popular satellites for Moscow and the region are shown in Table. 1.

Receiving satellite antennas are designed to concentrate electromagnetic waves from the relay satellite. The appearance, for example, of SUPRAL antennas is shown in Fig. 3, and their types and parameters are listed in table. 2. The antenna mirror is a paraboloid of rotation. Because of its rounded shape it is also called a “plate”. Essentially, this is a collecting lens, in the focal plane of which the receiving antenna itself is located, for example, as seen in Fig. 4. This is a metal pin about 12mm long. Operating frequency range - 10.7... 12.75 GHz (Ku range). Considering the large losses in the antenna cable at this frequency, it is difficult to transmit the signal from the antenna directly, without conversion, to the receiver input. Therefore, the signal spectrum is transferred by a device called a converter, first to a lower frequency, for which losses in the cable are smaller, and then transmitted to the receiver. Structurally, the pin is placed directly in the converter body. The antenna mirror is made of aluminum or steel. The surface of the mirror is protected from rust by an anti-corrosion coating.

Typically, two types of antennas are used: direct focus and offset (see Fig. 3). Offset ones have a number of advantages over direct-focus ones: the converter is located below the mirror and does not obscure it (this is important for small antennas, the diameter of which does not exceed two meters), in the working position the mirror is almost vertical, which eliminates the accumulation of precipitation in it in the form of rain and snow .

The signal level at the receiver input depends on the diameter of the antenna mirror. However, as the antenna increases, not only its cost increases sharply, but also the wind load. This forces us to take additional, often expensive measures to strengthen the fastening.

Special requirements are placed on the precision of mirror manufacturing and the absence of mechanical damage on it in the form of dents, chips, and potholes. All of them lead to deterioration in focusing and a drop in the signal level at the receiver input. For user convenience, the antenna design includes a device for attaching the converter and a device for attaching the antenna to the mast.

The appearance of the converter is shown in Fig. 5. As already mentioned, converters serve to transfer the signal spectrum from the satellite range Ki 10.7... 12.75 GHz to the radio frequency interval 910... 2150 MHz. At the same time, the signal is amplified. The Ki range is divided into two subbands: High Band (11.7...12.75 GHz) and Low Band (10.7...11.7 GHz). Accordingly, converters produce single- and dual-band ones; they contain two main units: a local oscillator and a mixer.

Depending on the polarization of the signal, converters of linear and circular polarization are distinguished. Converters with different polarizations are not interchangeable. The type of signal polarization must be indicated in satellite tables published, in particular on the Internet. So, for example, all European providers with Hot Bird work with linear polarization, and Russian providers NTV+ and TRICOLOR - with circular polarization. The operating frequency range and polarization are indicated on the converter body. Linear polarization, in turn, can be horizontal (H) and vertical (V). They are switched in the converter upon command from the receiver.

One of the main parameters of the converter is the noise figure, which characterizes the converter's ability to receive weak signals. For the best models this figure is less than 0.3 dB. This parameter is of great practical importance. For example, an antenna with a diameter of 1.2 m with a converter having a noise figure of 0.5 dB can receive the same number of channels as an antenna with a diameter of 90 cm and a converter with a noise figure of 0.3 dB!

A big disadvantage of old satellite dishes is the inability to connect two receivers to one converter. But now converters with two or more independent outputs have appeared on sale, which makes it possible to do without installing an additional antenna. In Fig. Figure 6 shows a converter designed to connect four receivers independent of each other. The antenna can be a cable with low losses, double shielding and a characteristic impedance of 75 Ohms, intended for satellite equipment. Cable brands: Cavel, SAT, RG-6, etc. The antenna cable is connected to the converter with a standard F-connector.

The traditional reception method “one satellite - one antenna” is considered the most preferable to ensure the best reception. Then for each of the satellites you can choose the optimal position of the antenna and converter. Switching of antennas in this case occurs in the antenna switch (dise-ge). In Fig. 7 shows a switch for four converters. Commands are sent to it via the antenna cable from the receiver. The name "diseg" comes from the name of the DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) protocol used to control the switches. The frequency of 22 kHz is used to transmit commands. Values ​​0 and 1 correspond to sendings of different durations. In addition to command bytes, each package contains address and start bytes. The protocol is universal. It also provides control of the converter and the drive of the rotary device.

It is possible to receive several satellites on one mirror, for which they use several converters installed on one antenna and tuned individually to their satellite. A device for attaching converters to an antenna is called a multifeed. In Fig. 8 shows its appearance for two converters, and Fig. 9 - their fastening.

The principle of signal reception using several converters is clear from Fig. 10. Signals from satellites, reflected from the antenna mirror, are focused at different points. Converters are installed in them. The signals received from the side units are weakened compared to the central one, so the central converter is tuned to the satellite with the lowest signal level. Taking into account attenuation, the antenna diameter is chosen with a margin. Typically, multifeeds are installed on antennas with a diameter of at least 1.2 m. Another necessary condition is that the satellites must be located in orbit close to each other. There are multi-feeds for satellite sets on sale: Astra + Hot Bird, Sirius + Hot Bird, Astra + NTV Plus, Hot Bird + Astra + NTV Plus.

Reception of two satellites on one antenna is also possible when using a dual converter; the design consists of two converters combined in one housing. They are deployed at a certain angle relative to each other to receive a specific pair of satellites, for example, Hot Bird and Astra. To mount a dual converter, a multifeed is not required; a standard antenna mount is used. The advantage of this design is that there is no need to adjust each of the converters separately. This operation has already been performed at the factory.

Rice. 10

It is also possible to receive satellites on one antenna by rotating it in the horizontal plane. The antenna is mounted on a rotating device - an actuator, which consists of an electric motor and a drive. The positioner controls the rotating device. It can be made as a separate unit or built into the receiver.

In these difficult times, we strive to protect our finances from excessive waste. Therefore, people began to save as much as possible and look for benefits everywhere. Giving up standard cable TV services and switching to less expensive options is a rational way to save money. Every day satellite television is gaining enormous popularity among Russian users. Ease of setting up channels, high-quality image and sound - all this will captivate subscribers. Separately, it is worth noting the power of signal coverage, which allows you to watch TV programs in digital quality even in remote regions of the country.

Satellite signals are sent both open and closed - encrypted channels. Satellite television without a subscription fee is free channels in the public domain. You don't need an access card to view them.

Many different satellites broadcast to the territory of Russia, which have both encrypted and open channels:

ABS 1/2 (“Rainbow”)

Eutelsat-36A/36B (“Tricolor TV”, “NTV-Plus”)

Hot Bird 13B/C/D

Intelstal 15/ Horizons 2 (“Continent TV and Telecard”)

Intelstal 904 (“Active TV”)

Express-AMZ (“East Express”)

Yamal 401/Yamal 300K (“Yamal”)

Of course, satellite TV for free is the dream of every user. Thanks to this opportunity, you can watch interesting programs without a subscription fee, transfer of funds or other investments. The Eutelsat-36A/36B satellite has about 10 free open channels that can be watched using any TV tuner and dish, having previously tuned them to the desired frequency. And the Hot Bird satellite has many uncoded Russian and foreign channels. For example, 4 free Armenian channels, there are also French, Italian, Ukrainian and many others. You can also tune in to the satellites ABS 1/2, Yamal 402 - they all have legal, unencrypted channels, to view which you just need to correctly configure the satellite equipment.

Using the data and transponder frequencies from the tables below, you can configure the reception of these channels on your satellite equipment, but provided that your satellite dish is directed and tuned to the appropriate satellite.

If you have made up your mind and decided to install a satellite dish to watch unencrypted channels, you need to know what is required for satellite TV to work:

Tuner (receiver) – decoder and signal converter. There are for decoded channels (FTA), and for closed ones with a hard drive, emulators, card readers, different slots and all other functions. When choosing a receiver, carefully study its firmware for the availability and consistency of incoming software.

A dish (satellite dish) is a device for receiving a signal.

Convector (head) – repels the transmitted signal from the plate. Where it converts it and sends it to the TV tuner. There is linear and circular polarization of the convector, which depends on the satellite.

Bracket is a metal structure with which the antenna is attached to the wall. Mounted on 3 – 4 anchors. The antenna leg is selected so that the dish can rotate freely without resting against the wall.

The Internet is gradually replacing other methods of disseminating information, but television is still thriving. Satellite television is gradually becoming more popular than other broadcasting methods, but in order to access free channels regularly, you need to have an understanding of how satellites work.

Satellite operation

Television satellites are in orbit around the planet at the equator and constantly rotate with it.

So, each satellite covers a certain territory of the Earth with its signal, which, in fact, determines which channels are on which satellite, because certain parts of the planet are inhabited by different nations.

Antenna operation

An antenna for a satellite is a “dish” that collects a signal from space at its center and amplifies it to a certain stability. To receive high-quality broadcasts from distant satellites, you need to install a large-diameter antenna. A converter is installed in the center of each “plate”, which picks up the signals, further converting them into sounds and images, transmitting them to the receiver. The latter is installed directly next to the TV and plays the role of a receiver. It finally decodes the signal and transmits the resulting image directly to the screen. To do this, it has special software installed, which determines which channels from which satellites the device will receive (only free, paid, or previously encrypted due to the installation of new software).

Advantages of satellite broadcasting

Among the advantages are:

• excellent quality of transmitted image and sound;
• unlimited choice of channels (almost all television stations available today broadcast on satellite frequencies);
• a large number of free channels;
• ability to record broadcasts;
• wide availability (regardless of region of residence);
• low cost of equipment;
• the ability to view the program schedule directly in the system options.

If there were fewer items on this list, perhaps television would not have gained such popularity today.

Flaws

The main disadvantage is that, regardless of which channels are broadcast on which satellite, in bad weather the signal will disappear. Meteor dependence is especially evident when the sky is heavily clouded, or it is raining or snowing. The quality of the signal also depends on the direction of the antenna; its converter must face south, since all satellites are located in the equator region.

If there is an obstacle in the space between the antenna and the satellite, the signal will be lost. A striking example: the converter is entwined with grapes, flowers, or the appearance of a new tree.

The receiver also needs to be serviced periodically, since channels change encodings from time to time and disappear from the screens.

Installation and broadcasting features

A detailed list of which channels and on which satellites broadcast their broadcasts will be presented below. The main feature in this matter is the choice: watch only free channels or purchase a specific package from a satellite television provider.

If they want to watch their favorite programs and not pay monthly fees for it, consumers most often order a set of two antennas for installation. This allows you to expand the list of received channels to signals from Eutelsat W4, Astra 4.9 (Sirius), ABS, Yamal and Hotbird satellites.

Which satellite will show more Russian channels depends on the receiver model and its operating system. Thus, many channels are now switching to broadcasting in HD quality, but older models of receivers do not support this and, even when receiving a signal, will not be able to display the image on the TV screen.

Absolutely all television channels are broadcast in the C or Ku bands, which differ in frequencies.

on ABS

This satellite operates in the Ku band and covers almost the entire territory of Eurasia, therefore it is very popular among Russians. There is only one paid package on the satellite - MTS-TV, the rest of the channels are freely available.

So, which satellite has more channels with Russian-language content? Let's count together. The ABS satellite offers the following channels for viewing:

• RU TV;
• "TNT4";
• "Friday";
• "Moscow trust";
• "Moscow 24";
• "TV3 +4";
• TV TOP SHOP;
• "RBC";
• "Belarus 24";
• "TV3 +2";
• "Star";
• "TRO";
• Fashion TV;
• "World 24";
• "World";
• "Tochka TV";
• "World +4";
• "TNT4 +2";
• "Together RF";
• "My world";
• "TNT";
• "Channel 8";
• "TV channel 360 (Moscow region)";
• "TNT" +4 and +7;
• Shopping TV;
• "Union";
• "2X2" and "2X2 Ural";
• "Horse World";
• "Kaleidoscope";
• "World of HD".

Astra satellites

It is impossible to answer which channels are broadcast on which satellites, knowing only their names. Astra, for example, is represented by four satellites that distribute their signal to different territories. Two of them do not have Russian-language channels at all, the third broadcasts "Peretz international", and the latter is popular in Ukraine, since most of the channels are Ukrainian and in the public domain. Ukrainian pay television Viasat-Ukraine also distributes its signal on it.

The Amos satellite also broadcasts mainly Ukrainian channels, but also carries some Hungarian, Romanian and Israeli channels on its frequencies.

Hotbird channels

This source of information distributes signals from many TV channels throughout Europe and our country. Its pay TV packages include only foreign offers, while Russian-language ones are freely available. Among them:

• "RBC";
• "TNT";
• "News";
• "RTR Planet";
• "Chanson";
• "Russia 24";
• euronews;
• RU-TV;
• MusicBox Russia;
• TV RUS;
• "STS";
• "K+";
• "ORT" ("1 channel");
• "ORT" HD;
• "New World";
• "NTV World";
• "Russian Bestseller";
• 8 TV RU;
• "Present time";
• "Union" and so on.

On what other satellite can Russian channels be found in large quantities? Of course, this is Yamal.

on the Yamal satellite

This source of information is also available in space in several variations under one name. Each of its varieties carries on board a wide list of publicly available ones and distributes them in different ranges.

Among its information flows, citizens are most interested in:

• "TNT";
• "REN-TV";
• "Disney";
• "Home";
• "Russia24";
• "Star";
• "Russia2";
• "TV3";
• "NTV";
• "STS";
• "NTV";
• "Pepper";
• "Yu" and others.

More satellites

On which satellites which channels will be more preferable? It depends on the area where you live. Thus, the Express satellite broadcasts its frequencies especially for residents of the Far East, the Urals and Siberia. On board there are paid channel packages and free ones, but with a time shift relative to Moscow. There is also specialized broadcasting for Siberia on the Bonum satellite.

If you choose a satellite solely by the number of free channels, then from the remaining list you can select “Horizon”, “Express”, “AzerSpice” and “Intelsat”. The latter is also popular due to the large number of radio stations. Among the less common options, Russian-language channels can be found in small quantities on the Asiasat satellite.

Paid popularity

Which satellites have which channels? This is approximately understandable, now you should understand the popularity of such an information source as Eutelsat W4, because it is not mentioned anywhere in the above list. The peculiarity of this satellite is that its broadcasting provides nationwide broadcasting of such paid channel packages as Tricolor and NTV-Plus. It is precisely because of the maximum popularity of these operators among the population that this satellite has gained popularity in our country. Of course, almost all the channels on it are encrypted and are opened only to subscribers after payment, but you can also find in its list the open frequencies of the Orthodox Soyuz and Kazan TNV.

Conclusion

So which satellites have the most Russian channels? It all depends on the desire to watch free broadcasts or purchased channel packages from popular operators. In most cases, citizens prefer to save money and prefer the need to periodically change the settings of their receivers. In this case, it is best to point your antennas at the Yamal, ABS or HotBird satellites. At the same time, you should be prepared for the fact that from time to time you will have to pay a certain amount to a specialist who can return the missing channels, and they will definitely disappear over time. Also, free television (even on satellite broadcasts) rarely provides subscribers with good picture and sound quality. The operation of such equipment is very dependent on the weather, and you will have to pay extra for each breakdown.

Paid operators offer their subscribers more favorable conditions, since the quality of their broadcasting is always at the highest level and at the same time, weather dependence is not so strongly felt. Operators also offer clients professional service for specialized equipment in the event of a breakdown. At the same time, the broadcasting of channels also spreads equally well over the entire territory of the country, the main thing is that there is a sky above it. Maybe it is thanks to such qualitative advantages that the majority of subscribers today switch to paid satellite television operators and are ready to pay a fixed amount for the timely elimination of any problems.

Paid operators regularly offer new customers promotional offers for connecting and purchasing channel packages. Such ways to save have always attracted people, and this case is no exception. There are more and more subscribers willing to pay to watch their favorite programs. Of course, there are also many owners and those who want to install a “plate” for free use.
