Beyond Ku band?

[Tim Godsil]

I know that most satellite receivers receive Ku band. What other bands are up there that you can receive?

There might be more, but the only ones I know of that are non-military commercial use are

C, Ku, Ka, S, and X band. I remember reading something about L-band a long time ago for commercial use, but I think it is only military and GPS applications.

I don't know who is using what worldwide for satellite video transmissions, but if you are interested here is the break down in all the microwave frequencies in a short little summary page

[Mr Tony]

most consumers do C, KU & DBS
