Can nasa be rcved on 922 4dtv at 72w?

 

[Mr Tony]

no

you need a DVB receiver

Tnx Ice.. thought so but yall know plenty tricks.. your stuff and post on here are really helpful, tnx agn

it would be nice if it was

from the NASA site

I have my own C-band-sized satellite dish. What else do I need to get the digital NASA TV Public Channel?

If your C-Band-sized satellite dish is capable of receiving digital television signals, you still need a Digital Video Broadcast (DVB)-compliant MPEG-2 Integrated Receiver Decoder, or IRD, to get Digital NASA's Public "Free to Air" Channel.

An IRD that receives "Free to Air" programming like the Digital NASA TV Public Channel can be purchased from many sources, including "off-the-shelf" at your local electronics store.

Digital NASA TV is on satellite AMC 6, Transponder 17. In Alaska and Hawaii, digital NASA TV is available on AMC7, Transponder 18C.

Digital NASA TV is on the same satellite (AMC 6) as the analog NASA TV was, but on a different transponder (17). In Alaska and Hawaii, digital NASA TV is available on AMC7, Transponder 18C.

NASA TV provides only C-band digital service (no Ku-band).

LOL, well, I guess a DVB FTA receiver that has an iso 7816 card slot could be called an IRD, but AFAIK, the only true DVB Integrated Receiver Decoders on this side of the big pond are Echostar and PowerVu.
He also missed mentioning the Ku DVB FTA channel on Echo9. Ice, Wasnt it NASA that mandated that if Charlie carried their feed it had to remain unencrypted?
One would think a spokesperson for NASA's satellite broadcasts would be priivy to that info......lol

 

[Mr Tony]

Wasnt it NASA that mandated that if Charlie carried their feed it had to remain unencrypted?

yep...Dish has had NASA unencrypted for years now but NASA isnt going to post that on their website

Also, if you have a dvb HD receiver, a 5th channel appears called hq 5, that's nasa HD. They seem to run that channel when missions are going . Food for thought if you have an HDTV

 

[Mr Tony]

interesting as even on the Coolsat 8000 I only get HD1,2,3,4

no 5th channel

 

[Pismire]

I get HQ5 on my tt-3200 but it's just colorbars ATM.

 

[eurosport]

interesting as even on the Coolsat 8000 I only get HD1,2,3,4

no 5th channel

Scan the transponder during a mission. HQ5, the HD channel, is only active during missions. All other times it's just HQ 1,2,3 and 4.

 

[Mr Tony]

ahhhhh...gotcha

so 4 active and a "feed"

 

[eurosport]

ahhhhh...gotcha

so 4 active and a "feed"

Yep. :up
