Satellite Transition AMC-1 to SES-3

This video was prepared by Microspace to clearly explain the satellite polarization differences between AMC1 and the new SES 3 ...

Great video! Can't wait for this one! There is a certain mux on 103 that I like.

Good to know. Great Video.

I like that, can't wait for the new bird, I didn't understand about the 13degree part though, does that mean while both sats are still operating?

That's what I was wondering. I'm supposing in theory they'd love to keep AMC-1 operating with its odd skew, to get their money's worth out of the satellite. But if all the major users shift over to SES-3, I can't imagine what would still be on there (other than some uplinked feeds)?

If I understood correctly, the want people to rotate it 13 degrees to enable you to still receive signals from the old satellite and pick up signals from the new satellite, hitting the signal in between both satellites to pick them both up at once.

This sounds familiar...

Suggest a thread merge.

With slow internet - and a non-indicative title, I did not evven try to load it - so I missed it, also.

Then I'll say here what I said there.
The video should be mandatory viewing for every newbie.
Several technical concepts are touched on and clearly explained.

Edit: and yes, cutsie topics should not be allowed outside the FTA Shack.
?Makes finding help just too hard.
(not that this was an example)
Just one of my hot buttons. :up

Can't wait for whole channels to line up and it's get tiring to offset my feedhorn!

Great video from Micro's you tube.:
