Question for Ice.

[bobsav2001]

Hi Ice.
I can get NBC feeds on 72W and Canadian CBC feeds on 107.3W

but i would like to get Canadian CTV feeds and TVA french feeds

but i dont see them on Lyngsat do they use KA band or some

other systems ? Hope you can help me....

Thanks Bob....

 

[Mr Tony]

none available for either network

 

[bobsav2001]

Thanks Ice i will email CTV and TVA to see what they will tell me....

 

[Mr Tony]

you do realize that you shouldn't e-mail them in this case?

Remember...we are not the intended audience for the 2 examples you gave above

The KU NBC is a backup...the CBC ones are temporary

 

[bobsav2001]

You are right i will not email them and i dont think that they would tell me anyway....
Thanks....

 

[Mr Tony]

since TVA is mainly just a Quebec station (yes the MOntreal affiliate is acorss Canada) they probably use some type of microwave setup
CTV probably uses Fibre (I know TSN which is owned by BellGlobeMedia...also owns CTV) uses fibre for alot of stuff

 

[Mr Tony]

There is CTVToo (Formerly ASN in Halifax) on same satellite as the CBC ones

 

[bobsav2001]

That makes sens thanks for the info....

The cbc feeds on c-band 107w are temporary?

 

[Mr Tony]

The cbc feeds on c-band 107w are temporary?

as is most of the stations on free to air
They may be gone tomorrow, next month, or 10 years from now

CBC has always been fta to over the air antennas for as long as I can remember. In September of this year they went digital across Canada, but in some areas like northern Ontario it was just to expensive for the amount of population so it is still anologue. Since they went digital the analogue signal, at least where we are is terrible. I'me not sure ICE but I think when CBC went digital thats when the stations appeared unscrambled on 107, so I'me hoping they just leave them alone.

 

[Mr Tony]

These feeds are different. The original feeds are still on 107.3 in a really weird format
DVB 8PSK 4:2:2 Videoguard (whew...mouthful)

these newer ones have been there since August

as for the OTA digital it was specific markets....the smaller markets didnt have to unless their station was above 51
