East/West does not increase much so it becomes more of north/south ellipsoid. Been reading up on inclined and the North/ South deviation can get quite large as in multiple degrees, if the operator chooses to not control it.. The article says uncontrolled latitude increases 0.8 degree per...

Anik F2 is definitely operating in an inclined orbit. Source: satellite-calculations.com

AMC-11 (the C Band replacement) is at 115W and moving close to 1 degree per day. Should be co-located with Anik F2 by the end of next week.

If they did (NOT) apply for a ku license for usa reception, they would likely not include the beam in the usa license aplication.

The FCC licensed Anik F2 for a +/- 0.05 degree cube. http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/ib/forms/attachment_menu.hts?id_app_num=54924&acct=726031&id_form_num=12&filing_key=-75462

Since Anik 2 has licensed receiving antennas in the US, they will be filing wirh the FCC for an inclined orbit. And after it happens, the wobble will slowly increase, no overnight change. So watch the FCC filings which will include the date when they want to start widening the station keeping...

The ITU assigns Geostationary transmission frequency right from a longitude to countries depending on their geographic location. Canada, USA, Mexico, and a bunch of the islands are all in Region 2.. Canada owns the Region 2 transmission rights for their licensed frequencies for the entire...

No way would I mess with those PIRATE straming services. The content providers go after them and not only whack them, they also take action to get the billing records of those buying the service to whack them also. You definity do not want to be one of "the examples" the wrath of the gods...

I have a single vehicle with sirus .xm subscription and am a Android user. When i am in my other vehicles , i stream sirusxm using Android auto.

Yes , a little CRT display

November 29, 2022, at 1-4 AM MST: All remaining ANIK F2 transponders – with the exception of F2/T2 – will implement modulation scheme change to DVB-S QPSK 2/3 FEC. F2/T2 which will remain in Turbo 8PSK 2/3 FEC until Spring 2023. And they are referring to their customers within Canada. As the...

Where I learned to love reverse polish notation. The first electronic I used was the Friden 130 the boss bought to replace a couple electric/mechanical machines. It took up a good hunk of a desktop and could add, subtract, multiply, and divide (no exponentiation or trig functions). It used...

Wow Apparantly BMW has a scheme to get some more money out of their customers by requiring a $ software upgrade to make the radio sirus xm compatable.

Looking at the signal strength maps, I would guess the offset will essentially eliminate "southern" service. At best, they might be able to delay the end of F2 signals in the Canadian coverage area for a while by changing the error correction rates In the south and far north, where the signal is...

C band details: Subject to Commission approval (see below), AMC-11 is intended to be moved from its current orbital position at 131° West Longitude (“W.L.”) to 111.1° W.L., where it will be co-located with Telesat’s Anik F2 satellite. Anik F2 is approaching the end of its station kept life, and...

Or set up a private server at a northern home. As harshness explained, they look for commercial blocks of IP addresses and associate them with a VPN service.

I like the various austalian tv series on acorn.

FCC application; This must be the C band satellite. Description: Assignment of license for AMC-11, call sign S2433, from SES Americom, Inc. to Telesat Canada.

This one was the verbatim transcript of the boss answering questions from stock analysts at their quarterly earnings call. The talk of moving to other satellites would cover the Shaw transmissions moving to G1.

Looks like the inclined orbit is still anticipated sometime around year end. Anik F2 is a multi band satellite and with C and KA band customers in addition to the KU band servicing Shaw. Extract from the Telesat 3rd Quarter earnings call --- Nov 8 "-----We disclosed last quarter that we have...

This is the site I use for satellites. https://www.satellite-calculations.com/11parameter/ephemeris/satellitepositions.php?53.3772669N/2.8813545W/0.057716693878173825/0/0.6/11.7?/ The Anik 2 wobble or offsets will show up here...

Two incompatable receivers and lnbs. So one must go. Toss in $400 for new receiver and lnb for something like 8 million units 3.2 billion dollars and not going to happen. At best , they could eliminate duplicate back office staff and maybe one orbital slot (1 or 2 satellites).

The canadian hockey snowbirds will have a national day of mourning when it gasps its last breath.

It was not the best written press release. As I read it, 2 thrusters had failed earlier and 1 of the remaining 2 failed last summer , leaving it with a single thruster.

Dish satellite service has moved to the cash cow mode where they put minimal money into it and use the profits it spits out to grow other business segments. The wireless business is now where the money is (the tail that wags the dog) and the area to investigate when reviewing the financials.
