Bangabandhu satellite is the first satellite by Bangladesh. Currently, the Bangabandhu satellite is located at longitude 119.09°E. The Bangabandhu satellite has 14 C-Band transponders and 26 Ku-Band Transponders.
If you want to receive Bangladesh FTA channels, using a C-Band satellite Dish antenna, then you must know about the LNB frequency of the Bangabandhu satellite. Because the Bangabandhu satellite uses special extended C-Band LNB. To understand this information carefully to receive all Bangla channel frequencies and symbol rates here.
We are receiving lots of emails from our users that they are unable to get signals for the Bangabandhu1 satellite. So we have tried it for you.
If you are using the same/old trick to get Bangabandhu satellite TV channels then it will not work. Because Bangabandhu1 satellite airs FTA TV channels by using Extended C-Band frequency.
It means normal C-band LNB will not work, you need a special C-Band LNB with special specifications.
Let’s understand Extended C-Band –
Normally we use 5150 LNB Frequency (LO) to receive C-Band channels. and at the same time, we use normal LNBs.
Now you can calculate LO according to TV channel frequency (TP Frequency).
1 |
(Normal C-Band LNBs – 3.4GHz to 4.2GHz)(Lower Band Extended C-Band Signals) |
||
| LNB Frequency (L.O) | Transponder Frequency | Receiving Frequency | |
| (L.O) | (TV Frequency) | Converted` | |
| 5150 | 4200 (4.2GHz) | 950 Mhz | |
| 5150 | 3400 (3.4GHz) | 1750 Mhz | |
2 |
(Filter C-Band LNBs – 3.7GHz to 4.2GHz) |
||
| LNB Frequency (L.O) | Transponder Frequency | Receiving Frequency | |
| (L.O) | (TV Frequency) | Converted | |
| 5150 | 4200 (4.2GHz) | 950 Mhz | |
| 5150 | 3700 (3.7GHz) | 1450 Mhz | |
3 |
(Extended C-Band LNBs – 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz) |
||
| LNB Frequency (L.O) | Transponder Frequency | Receiving Frequency | |
| (L.O) | (TV Frequency) | Converted | |
| 5750 | 4800 (4.8GHz) | 950 Mhz | |
| 5750 | 4500 (4.5GHz) | 1250 MHz | |
4 |
(High Band Extended C-Band LNBs) |
||
| LNB Frequency (L.O) | Transponder Frequency | Receiving Frequency | |
| (L.O) | (TV Frequency) | Converted` | |
| 5950 | 5000 (5.0GHz) | 950 Mhz | |
| 5950 | 4800 (4.8GHz) | 1150 Mhz | |
Now you check all the transponder (TP) frequency lists of the Bangabandhu satellite.
- 4600 H 30000
- 4640 H 17500
- 4720 H 30000
- 4760 H 30000
Now think about which LNB you should use?, of course, I used Extended C-Band LNB (4.5GHz to 4.8GHz) because it is designed to receive the above frequencies between 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz. See below
The SOLID company also launched an extended C-Band LNB with the best specifications.
For LO: 5150MHz
Input Frequency – 3.7~4.2GHz and also Receive 4.2GHz ~ 4.5GHz
Output Frequency – 950 ~ 1250MHz and 1250 ~ 1550MHz
For LO: 5750MHz
Input Frequency – 4.5GHz ~ 4.8GHz
Output Frequency – 1550 ~ 2050MHz
Noise Figure: 12K
Gain : 65dB
And I used SOLID C-Band 180cm Dish Antenna and SOLID SF-900 satellite finder.
Here is the setting in my set-top box or SF-810Pro Meter
Satellite – Bangabandhu1
Position – 119.09°E
LNB Frequency – 5750
TP Frequency – 4600
Symbol Rate – 30,000
Polarization – H
22K – Auto
and started to rotate the dish antenna by using SF-900 meters, finally, we have found the Bangabandhu satellite extended C-Band signals by using my FTA system after 20 minutes of hard work.
Here are detailed FTA channel list from Bangabandhu Satellite –
