Amos 2

Hay,

Amos-2 was launched on december 27th, anyone managed to pickup any signals
from this in the UK?

And will we be able to watch television from Israel now this has been
launched.

Many thanks.

Give it a chance- satellites take at least 2 weeks to get into geostationary
orbit, and undergo initial transponder testing.

And will we be able to watch television from Israel now this has been
launched.


No. Amos 2 (like Amos 1) has two beams, one covering Eastern Europe (which we
may have a chance of picking up on a largeish dish in the UK), and likely to
carry Eastern European TV, and the other covering the Middle East, which would
need Jodrell Bank sized dishes to pick up in northern Europe.

Another complication would also be that the channels from the YES package are
encrypted, with subs only available to subscribers within Israel, but given the
footprint area this is a bit academic.

Give it a chance - it wont be on station for a few weeks yet! Probably
towards the end of January at the earliest.

The official footprints show a weakish signal into south eastern UK -
but only on the European beam. (There are at least 3 beams on this bird
- UK / USA / eastern mediterranean).

Israel.

What might a DTV be??? You would need a suitable satellite receiver and
a dish of appropriate size to get the transmissions off it.

Direct TVâ„¢ ? No idear, either.

LYNGSAT.com might be able to help regarding THAT sat and your location.
