What is an LNB?

LNB is the acronym for 'low-noise block converter'. Simply put, it's the 'receiving bit' on the end of a satellite dish. The latest LNB's are very sensitive and can pick-up and amplify very weak satellites. The lower the dB figure, the better. You'll find a full explanation Here:

What is a DiSEqC switch?

A DiSEqC switch is a device which enables one to connect multiple LNB's to a satellite receiver. The DiSEqC protocol works in a similar way to a motorised system, but instead of the receiver actuating the motor in choosing a satellite, the DiSEqC switch chooses an LNB on a fixed dish that's 'aimed' at a particular satellite. The DiSEqC switch is weatherproofed and is installed outside, usually on the satellite bracket. The maximum number of LNB's on a fixed dish is four. The picture on the right illustrates a twin LNB set-up.

What does the term USALS mean?

USALS is the acronym for 'Universal Satellite Automatic Location System'. Once the dish motor is set South and other angle parameters are in perfect alignment and your longitude and latitude is input into your receiver, the dish (via the receiver) will find every single satellite available in your location won the Clarke Belt.

What is the 'Clarke Belt' and what does it mean?

The Clarke Belt is rather like an imaginary rainbow going from 90° East to 90° West. TV broadcast satellites are placed in orbit directly above the equator at a height of about 36,000 km (22,000 miles). They travel through space at the same speed the earth's rotation - so to us on the ground the satellite appears to be stationary. This is known as a geo-stationary orbit.

There are over 30 broadcast satellites accessible from Northern Europe, but the ones shown above include the so-called 'Sky' satellites (Astra2 & Eurobird) at 28° East, Astra1 at 19° East, Thor at 1° West and Hispasat at 30° West.

What is a geo-stationary orbit?

In this animation, the satellite travels around the Earth in a west-to-east direction at a rate of travel that completes one orbit in the same amount of time that it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation. This type of orbit enables the satellite to maintain a fixed position relative to the Earth.

cccam, and oscam are different types of card sharing. which you can use them to see paid channels with card sharing. To know about card sharing, read what we wrote about it on the following link... [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

siftcam is a small software that has keys in it.

I hope this explains what you asked. If you still have question, please forward it.

sam thank u very much ,,,i ask u the question coz there are latest softcam keys uploaded every time for all receivers...can we use softcams like digiturk package to open encrypted channels ?

henzo
If you look properly see the keys in the softcam, the digiturk keys are always the same. Usually the updates are for Bulsat, TNT and Biss channels.

great thanks sami,,,really ! Did u ever try to find the startimes package for eutelsat 5A c band..which can break amazing channels as of digiturk ? I were searching for it for days....inbox me plz.
I am researching modern satellite finding methods ..u will help me on that bro.

HI SAMI HOW U DOIN ? CAN U TELL ME PLEASE WHERE TO FIND STARTIMES PACKAGE ?

Hi sami how u doin bro ? can we install telestar,hotbird,nilesat,eutelsat in 90 cm...check the link below
