Slimline 3 SWM During Heavy Rain

I don't think PQ has anything to do with KU, or KA.
That's just frequency band.

The KA signals are more susceptible to rain fade compared to the KU ones because of the size of the signal wave, not the power.

I said nothing about that.

Correct, but your post that I quoted was in response to ejb1980s post that asked about hd signals going out before sd signals.

SD signals will always last longer than HD signals.
The KU band has a much wider band and less power on the Sat itself.
The Ka is a much higher powered Sat, with a much narrower beam.

What happens when DTV goes all HD? Will they switch HD to the KU band and will that have the same PQ as KA? Thanks.

They have too large an investment in those satellites. They will continue to use them. The transponders on the sat doesn't care what kind of signal is being sent through them.

Mega HD 405
Unimas west HD 408
Fox Deportes HD 465
ESPN Deportes HD 466
Bein Sports Español HD 467

All on 119

Finally someone with a brain.... Thanks

As we mentioned before, HD doesn't have to be on a KA Sat ...
There was HD before the KA's became available.

This whole mess started when someone said that ALL HD channels comes from the 99 & 103, which is clearly NOT the case. All HD channels comes from the 99, 103 and 119. That is an accurate statement. .

Rain fade is not SD vs HD, is Ku vs Ka. Put HD on Ku like on the 119, and rain fade is the same as SD on the 101. Put SD on Ka na drain fade would be the same an an HD channel on Ka

This is Also True.

I think the confusion is that the 99 and 103 where most of the HD come from are indeed KA and the 119 HD are KU.

Ok, then in your opinion, why does HD signals fade before SD ?

Just asking.

If does not matter Ka vs Ku. The statement was incorrect. Is INCORRECT to say that ALL HD comes from the 99 & 103. It is correct to say in that DirecTV USA all HD channels comes from 99, 103 and 119

Ummm ... quit arguing, I didn't say in here that ALL HD channels come from the 99 and 103, I said MOST ...

You quoted it ....

because MOST HD uses Ka, a narrower beam as you correctly posted earlier. HD on the 119 has the same rain fade as any other SD channel. Again, is Ka vs Ku, not HD vs SD

I NEVER said you did, I clearly said someone.

Ka fades before KU Period!

Stop using HD vs SD.
There are some SD locals that are Ka, and the drop way before the KU SD locals.

HD and SD have 100% nothing at all to do with rain fade.

The Different Bands do.
