Symbol rate: difference between Msyb/s and Ksps - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

One of the channels I watch via satellite – Cyprus Sat (on the Hellas Sat system) – has just changed its frequency to the following:

Frequency: 11146Mhz

Polarization: Vertical

FEC: 3/4

Symbol Rate: 3,333 Msyb/s

The problem is with the symbol rate. My (digital) satellite receiver measures the symbol rate by Ksps, which is five digits, and therefore I can't retune the receiver. What's going on here? What's the difference between Msyb/s and Ksps? Can I convert Msyb/s to Ksps? You see my problem.

Thanks in advance.

1000K = 1M. Assuming that 3,333 us 3.333M, then the answer is 3333K.

For five digits, enter 03333.

Lyngsat confirms this symbol rate:
