Bolshoi: “Le Corsaire” Sunday 11th March

Posted on March 11, 2012 by satfacts

A reminder that the Testing starts at 1230GMT/1330CET/0730ET.

And remember that you need to set your receivers (except for IS805 in South America) to DVBS-2 and 8PSK and PILOT ON . This is probably different to your usual settings. Please refer to your tuning guide or receiver handbook as to how to do this.

BOLSHOI: Test 6th March

Posted on March 6, 2012 by satfacts

Hi,

A reminder that there is a Test this morning at 1000GMT/1100CET/0500ET and there will be feeds on IS-1002, AB-3, IS-905, and IS-805.

Please remember that the broadcast parameters are DVBS-2 and 8PSK (except for Is-805). It is crucial you know how to set this in your receivers (and it causes more calls to Helplines than any other issue)
