I'm trying to find out if it possible to receive China's CCTV in Chinese not the free to air euro version?
We are looking to install an 80cm dish and require the positioning or even info on if this is possible?
Any help would be great!!

Thanks guy's, we may be able to get hold of a Chinese sat receiver would this help?

Hi
The information that has been posted will enable you to receive the programmes indicated on fta receivers.
Not sure what you mean about a chinese receiver, a large amount of the electronic gear about nowadays originates from china anyhow

The only real benefit I can see of using a receiver manufacturered for the Chinese market would be the language used on the receiver's menus and displays - assuming you prefer it in Chinese of course

Generally, the reception of a satellite TV signal depends only on what your dish can 'see'.

I guess that's a pretty stupid thing to say, but in Europe, we generally assume Ku-band reception and Horizontal/Vertical polarisation, because that covers the vast majority of what's up there. I think that all the useful stuff the guys have posted above falls into that category.

More varied kit (such as C-band or circularly-polarised capability) would allow you to receive extra channels, but I don't know of any Chinese channels which you could add in this way, at least from the UK.

I think the info that's been posted should give you something interesting to watch though.

I need to actually know which satellite (presumably based over china) distributes CCTV - the European (Ch 4 / 9) are no use, as the scheduals differ.
Cheers

Asaiasat 3s at 105E
Apstar 6 at 134E

are the main ones. Both unavailable in Europe.

davejcb · 22-01-07, 03:55 PM

Many Thanks,
so essentially i can only pick up the european versions of ch 4 and 9?

Through the CCTV website ive found that Intelsat provides full-time program distribution services via PAS-1R Alantic Ocean Region Satellite and PAS 9 (AORS) and PAS-10 Indian Ocean Region

Are these satellites available to be picked up in the UK, and are they European / Chinese versions?
