Another new successful community TV installation completed

Near Villa Martin this latest Community TV installation is connected to a potential of 285 properties, each property has access to 90 English TV channels served by the latest satellite IF-IF processing system capable of stripping the 4 Satellite polarities and launching into a single coaxial service using underground RG 11 cable. The feed is a 1.9 Famaval parabolic satellite dish and processed by 3 modules with each capable of trans-coding 3 satellite transponders, 2 launch amplifiers serve the 2 x separate cable services.
Good signal levels are achieved throughout the urbanisation with carefully placed line amplifiers. each property can have installed multiple decoders which has no effect on the high performance of the system.
The system is expandable and can integrate other TV signal sources i.e. Cable TV (QAM) in the UHF and VHF band and Spanish TDT ( COFDM) in the UHF band.

Update on the launch of the new Astra 2E satellite

Due to be launched in May, then June followed by July, this satellite has had several delays. Now due to problems at the launch site it has been delayed once again, it could be August before the Astra 2E is launched and maybe September before it is in service.There is a lot of speculation as to it's footprint and whether we will lose channels here on the Costa Blanca, the short of it all is that no-one actually knows so we will have to wait and see.
