Watch the Thai TV channel on Telstar 5 (97 W) satellite. It is FREE to Air and requires a complete digital satellite system.

See the list of systems here:

Sadoun,
Just bought dish system. Question is--Can I point my dish to Thaicom2/3 Sat. It is 78.5 degreee east. Thanks.

Unless you live in Asia, this satellite is not visible from the USA. You have to have a clear line of sight to the satellite to get a signal.

Thank you for your quick respond. One more question - Can I get TVK channel through Telstar 5 satellite or any other satellites in USA. Thank.

What is the TVK channel?

Also, you could check www.lyngsat.com

It is a Cambodian TV channel.

A cambodian channel just came on via T5. Look at Lyngsat.com or do a rescan of the sat. STN is the channel I believe.

So how many channels are available on Telstar 5 from Thailand, Combodia, and other nearby countries?

The best place to check out what is on T5 is http://www.lyngsat.com/t5.shtml
As far as I know, the currently FTA channels are:
TGN - Thai
TGN Radio (Bangkok 94 FM) - Thai
NAT - Thai, Lao, and soon some others.
VT4 - Vietnamese
CTN - Cambodian
Japan, Korean, Chinese...

Any FTA (Free to air) system will pick these up.

would i be able to pick up thai channels on a 24in dish in the U.S.

You might since T5 is a strong bird. But if I were you, I would get a larger dish. When it rains, small dish will suffer rain fade causing the receiver not receive enough good signal to decode.
Also, using a 24" dish to find ku linear signal will be harder than larger dish. If you have not set up Ku dish before, you will have a difficult time to look for T5 using a small dish.
Good luck,

That is very true. Its hard enough sometimes to find signal even with a 30" dish... :roll:
