Service and Technical Information

-The direct to home service is broadcast as high-power ku- band transmissions utilizing the transponders of the MEASAT satellite system.
-Reception of the service signals uses a fixed 60-cm diameter dish antenna.
-Ku-band signals can be affected by rain attenuation.
-The operators of Astro have employed a tailor-made system to boost power of the satellite delivery system to overcome this problem.
