satmex 5

[CALABAZA]

HOLA!! VIVO EN LOS ANGELES Y ME GUSTARIA SABER SI PUEDO USAR UNA ANTENA DE DIREC TV PARA PODER VER CANALES DE SATMEX5 O NECESITO OTRO TIPO DE ANTENA, MI RECIBIDOR ES UN FORTEC ULTRA. MUCHAS GRACIAS!!

[chumas2004]

para poder ver el satelite Satmex en banda Ku necesitas una antena de mayor diametro 90cm o mas de diametro aunque canales FTA solo chinos y religios, en banda C un plato de al menos 8pies y podras ver mas canales libres en español.
Saludos

En California necesitas una antena de 30 pulgadas como minimo para la banda Ku.
Te recomiendo un LNB de 0.4dB como minimo.

Otra para CA is es S2 @ 113. Mucho canales adentro espanol pero no recordar C o Ku. www.lyngsat.com

Hola amigos, yo vivo en Kansas y he tratado de localizar canales en español de televisa como canal 2 , canal 5, canal 4 y galavision de mexico, supuestamente estan en el SATMEX 5 chequen este link http://www.lyngsat.com/sm5.html tengo una antena de 6 pies con banda c un recibidor FTA XTREME, puedo ver todos los canales que aparecen en el link pero los que yo quiero no se ven , que mas puedo hacer? gracias.

De canales pedir casi tu es solamente para systemas comercial. Si no tiennes un compania de cable no ver. Lo siento amigo.

leocanada , los canales que deseas estan abierto pero son Digicipher II, que significa que es necesario tener un recibidor 4DTV , es mas complicado, el 4DTV tiene que estar subscrito a un canal por lo menos para que te de acceso a los canales que deseas, otra forma es comprar uno usado que una vez estuvo subscrito ya que con esos no tendras que pagar por nada, pero si sugiero que investigues mas, a lo mejor hay alguien con 4DTV que pueda ayudar y verificar que los canales de Banda C en Satmex 5 se pueden ver.

4DTV no ver de canales en de MUX. De canales es Megapipe. Solamente receivers commercial.

Those channels are Megapipe. They can not be viewed with a 4DTV receiver. It requires a commercial receiver but then you will have to locate someone who will authorize it. In other words if you are not a cable or sat provider you most likely are not going to have access to them.

[jayelem]

never heard of Megapipe, I'm guessing you have 4DTV, you can confirm this.

I don't have 4DTV, and have also checked Lyngsat, I see it's ITC but since it's Digicipher II , I thought all you had to do was sub to a Channel and you would get all ITC stuff, or buy a used 4DTV that had been authorized.

If this is the case I'm glad I haven't jumped on 4DTV yet, just when I thought I had Lyngsat figured out.

Gotta admit C-band is the way to go for Mexico.

The receiver in my signature (DSR922) is a Motorola 4DTV receiver. I wanted that same MUX for my viewing and did quite a bit of homework on it. I do not understand all the workings of Megapipe but if memory serves me correct it is also referred to as combo mode. The speed of the transmission is not a viewable speed with a 4DTV receiver. I have also been told by those capable of receiving that signal (receivers are roughly $2000.00 used) that it is encrypted and not clear as lnygsat states.

Depending on where you live depends on your sub capability. You can not sub to anything from a Mexican sat if you are in the US. Or maybe I should say American programming companies can not provide programming from the Mexican sats.

[jayelem]

Those expensive commercial receivers supposedly not consumer friendly, glad you cleared that up about those channels not being available.

There's so much available FTA anyways, though I expect that at some point there will be more programming available, since Latino population is so big, unless were talking about certain programs, you know U.S. Latino Networks pay big bucks for those Soap Operas so it's not in their interest for people to get Televisa since certain shows air at an earlier date, otherwise thay would have to blackout some programs.

I'm content with my Ku setup, but once I add C-band with circular polarity I will get so much more Spanish Programming, truth is between OTA and FTA theres enough choices.

[elgemcdlf]

I think we are in the area of 250 channels in the clear (FTA). We have no OTA channels where we live. You are totally correct about Televisa and airing shows prior to them being aired here in the states. My gf says roughly a month prior to here.

yeah the canadian sats use to do that on c band in the old days.
