Eutelsat 10B information

Orbital Position 10 degrees East

Primary coverage area:

Western Europe and Middle East.

• Northern Europe as far East as Moscow.
• North African countries that have a Mediterranean coastline.
• Gulf states, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Iraq, Iran and Northern Saudi Arabia and Northern Oman.

BFBS satellite reception parameters:

• Band: Ku-Band
• Frequency: 11,221 MHz
• Polarisation: Vertical
• Symbol Rate: 30,000
• FEC: 5/6
• Modulation: DVB-S2
• Satellite Dish: On land a 1.1m Ku-band offset satellite dish with a universal LNB is recommended, although in some areas smaller dishes will be acceptable.

On Royal Navy ships which are only equipped with 85cm dishes - specifically MCMV - these are designed to work on Eutelsat 10B  in the specific geographic areas in which they normally operate such as the Gulf (within at least the 47dBW contour shown on the map). They will not operate correctly outside of those areas and the 1.5m (or larger) dish fitted to all other ship types is required for stable reception in all other areas.

TV and Radio Channels Available:

The delayed channels are delayed by 20 hours to give audiences in the Eastern times zones a one-day-later service. This provides a TV experience, in terms of program times, very similar to that experienced in the UK, but one day later.
