Hi Dave,
this will be normally used on the occasion of ARISS school contacts.
However ARISS intention is to have the video on for long periods with
still or live video material.

Thanks Emanuele,
The last part of your message is actually the most important part. Watching
the ISS astronauts talking to schools and having a video feed is great.
However, looking at schedules and available downlinks for NA and or Europe,
they are limited and might not really much worth of an

If the feed is only active for schools contacts it's going to be an
expensive ham activity as most of the equipment needed is going to be fully
dedicated for this and the schedule is going to be VERY limited.
Even if it sounds very attractive ... if there is not a permanent feed, I

Anything less than 90 degrees will be slower with several minutes
Thanks, Dan. That helps a lot.
Is there something about the DVB-S modulation that makes it astoundingly better
for this application? For something that is intended to be widely received,
they sure are making it difficult...

Has anyone figured out any ground station requirements? Antenna gain,
polarization, receiving equipment etc...

A dish like in the picture probably has a beam-width of 15-ish degrees.
I used a 30 inch BBQ grill antenna for AO-40, and would notice a

HAMTV stream will be transmitted at 1.3 MSym/s or at 2.0 MSym/s.
Technical specs of the set-top box indicate the range of the decoded
stream. Generally this range is from 2 to 45 MSym/s, therefore if you
need to buy it, you should select one that can guarantee a range from 1
to 45 MSym/s.
Hi Emanuele,
Right. But what is that in terms of what normally gets described? For
example, I have a Digital TV card for my computer (Pinnacle PCTV HD).
It says it does ATSC digital TV (HDTV up to 1080i, and SDTV) and
Clear QAM (unencrypted digital cable).
Am I even close?
Greg KO6TH
Hi Greg,
I believe that your Pinnacle PC Card is not for DVB-S (Satellite
networks) but for DVB-T (terrestrial networks).
Please check on the web or give me the model of your card, so that I
will check it.

Ah, that is probably right. Model is PCTV-800i; it's definitely aimed
