Skywave TV broadcasts services via satellite - AsiaSat-4 Ku-band (122.2°E). TV services are allocated on 4 Ku-transponders, channelised with 27MHz-bandwidth. The Ku-band downlink beam is right-hand circular polarized (RHCP). All Services are scrambled by means of Irdeto Access. The four downlink transponders and reception parameter are listed below:

When turning on the receiver (COSHIP CDVB-5110D), it will automatically run auto-scan as the reception parameters are preset in the memory. Other STBs with Irdeto embedded encryption will also operate fine for Skywave TV but the reception parameters have to be set by user.

A pizza-sized dish antenna (35cm) is adequate within the satellite coverage area. A circular LNBF (L.O. = 10.75GHz) will provide the best quality service. A universal Ku-band LNBF (L.O. = 10.6GHz) is still able to receive the satellite signal but at lower quality, generally 3 to 4 dB variant in SNRl. If a universial LNBF is used, a larger dish (45cm - 60cm) is recommended to compensate for the LNB loss.

Please key in the latitude and longtude of your location, and calculate the azimuth and elevation.
