evalagoal Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I'm sorry ........ But what does that mean????? I have Dish Network, will this benefit me???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziaka Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 It has nothing to do with Dishnetwork, so no benefit there. kapsolas, here is a link to Telstar 12 footprint. There it says that it reaches as far west as Cleveland, Ohio, so I am not sure if it will make it all the way here to Chicago. also I am not sure what size of a dish you would need to pull this one.

Spiro Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 lol... If Kapsolas is looking to get Telstar... this is bad news for Nagra2! Am I correct kapsolas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteri Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I found the longitude and latitude of Chicago through www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/imageg.htm to be Chicago, IL (US): 41n51, 87w39, Illinois. Then I entered that position to the satellite tracker http://www.lyngsat.com/tracker/t12.html and found that the dish to catch telsat12 should have approximate azimuth 101 and elevation 4 degrees. Well, theoretically, any elevation above 0 is possible, but it would be hard to get it. One usually needs elevation at least 25 degrees. And even if you have view of it, you may need a strong dish since the signal goes for longer through the atmosphere. You could try asking those who install dishes... Antenna and Espn are on that sat (with dvb/powervu). Hope it helps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziaka Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 evalagoal. Telstar 12 is a satellite that is operating at 15 Degrees West, and is mainly intended to be received in Europe and Northern Africa, although the signal footprint might reach North America, and as asteri mentions you would need as big dish to receive those signals. It has nothing to do with Dishnetwork and their programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
