Satellite BG tests on the satellite Thor 6


Bulgarian satellite pay-TV service Satellite BG unexpectedly started technical tests on THOR 6 satellite at the orbital position of 0.8 ° W. For the purposes of tests using two transponders in DVB-S2.

The first of these works in the bundle K1 (the so-called Scandinavian coverage) and the second volume in K2 (called European coverage).

Content in both multiplexes is the same - set top box finds 8 program named test positions 1 to 8 All systems are encrypted and some Conax Irdeto systems (CAID 0624) and CryptoWorks (CAID 0D96), which includes service provider Skylink, society M77 Group.

Reasons tests are not yet known. Probably it is a technical experiment directly satellite operator Telenor Satellite Broadcasting (TSBc), as was previously the case for the UPC Direct pre-contract to lease transponder capacity.

technical parameters of the test transponder Satellite BG:

* Thor 6 (0.8 ° W), freq 10.715 GHz, pol V, SR 25000, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2/8PSK, volume K1

* Thor 6 (0.8 ° W), freq 12.149 GHz, pol V, SR 30000, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2/8PSK, Volume K2

Technical tests, which appeared at the end of August, the satellite Thor 6 (0.8 ° W) does not belong to the Bulgarian satellite pay-TV service Satellite BG. Original provider identifier has changed from the "Satellite BG" to "SAT test".

One DVB-S2 multiplex operates at a frequency of 10.715 GHz and the second on freq 12.149 GHz. Besides the different parameters and different multiplex coverage. The first is directed to Northern Europe or the middle and eastern part of the European continent.

In both multiplexes are eight test positions (Test 1-8) and they are all encrypted system Conax (CAID 0B01), which uses the said platform Satellite BG Bulgarian. Some of the channels are connected and CAID 0D96 and 0624, including ICE and Skylink Irdeto cards.

technical parameters of the test transponder, which were originally identified as Satellite BG:

* Thor 6 (0.8 ° W), freq 10.715 GHz, pol V, SR 25000, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2/8PSK, volume K1

* Thor 6 (0.8 ° W), freq 12.149 GHz, pol V, SR 30000, FEC 3/4, DVB-S2/8PSK, Volume K2
