SF2 received via satellite
It is not very easy to receive the station SF2 via satellite. If you live in Baden-Württemberg, you should think about alternatives. Everyone else has to do some preliminary work in order to watch the Swiss channel.
SF2 received in other ways
- If you live in the area of the cable provider KabelBW, you should consider whether you can be connected to the cable network. In that case you can also receive SF2.
- In the southern part of Baden-Württemberg you can also watch the program via a terrestrial antenna.
This is how it works on Sat
- You need a parabolic mirror with a diameter of at least 80 cm in order to have rainproof reception. With a dual feed system, 90 cm would make sense with one connection, if several use the connection, even 120 cm. Dual feed is always useful if you also want to receive Astra. In addition, a double-shielded antenna cable (> 75 dB) is required. The dimensions are important, because the satellite has a weaker performance than Astra, so you will usually not be able to receive SF2 with a system for this satellite.
- Of course, it doesn't work without a DVB-S receiver. This must have a built-in Viaccess decoder or a slot for the Viaccess CA module. It should be a software-Update via satellite OTA (over the air) must be possible and at least two Scart sockets, an analog audio output and an RS-232 or USB interface for software updates. A Dolby Digital output, HDTV compatibility and an HDMI (or VDI) interface are also useful. If you want to use the double reception system, the receiver must also have DISEqC.
- You cannot receive SF2 with this, because the program is encrypted. You still need a satellite access card, but you can only get one if you have one Swiss are.
- Point the antenna at the Hot Bird 13B satellite, which is at 13 ° East. The frequency is 12.399 GHz. The transponder must be on 85 and the polarization on horizontal. The symbol rate is 27500 and FEC 3/4. If you bought the receiver in Switzerland, it is usually already preprogrammed, then only the antenna has to be aligned accordingly.
- Look at the back of your satellite access card. From version 4.0 the card is already activated. For older cards, you can request an exchange or activation.
