    Intelsat 8

    G'day up there!
    Just noticed the foot print map for one of our "Down under" Ku beams shows some partial coverage up there from this satellite. Do any of you get it? Note the frequencies may not be suitable for some of your LNB's

    Frequencies:Intelsat 8 at 166.0°E - LyngSat

    nice satellite spread...

    Sorry Silly... I am on the east coast and can't receive that sat. I use to live in Sydney, and it has to be the most beautiful city around...

    Does the 166 sat have good FTA programs... One I saw that looked interesting is 'Future News'... what a great name... Is that news for Pcychics? LOL...

    Is FTA big around the big cities, or more so in the outback?
    VA 39N, 78W, Mercury II, Fortec 31", 36", 72", SG2100, DG-280, H180 (two DSR-922's sitting in a closet and to be the next project) HDTV TV with no pay tv.

    Most of the FTA channels we get Ku from Int(pas)8 are in Arabic (I don't understand a word of it!). ERI has sometimes got some english movies that look like they are being played on a VHS.
    FTA satellite is not real popular amongst Aussies that speak english as a first language. Many of the people who have them speak another lingo and loving call thier bud "Our wog flag" or have an interest in things technical. That's my excuse.
