Lyngsat for Beginners

Matching Satellites and Orbital Positions on Lyngsat.com

To all Free to Air Satellite enthusiasts and Professional Satellite dish installers all over the world, lyngsat.com is a very important website to get useful information. In very simple English this tutorial I will teach you how lyngsat works and how to use it. Even Globecast, the international Telecommunications giant from France uses lyngsat. And now you will be a professional too thanks to the many illustrations. When you first visit www.lyngsat.com you will be greeted with the featured image above.

Now since I live in Kenya, I wrote this for people living specifically in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. The place to go after this is to click where the row Satellites and column 73E – 0E meet, the Europe link . Notice that if you live in Sub-Sahara Africa the list of satellites receivable are mainly located in the Europe and Atlantic links on the Satellites row. So you can also click in the Atlantic link on the Satellites row instead of Europe. But for the purposes of this tutorial just go with Europe:-

The preceding paragraph assumes that you know your geography well. Satellite positions are named after the corresponding longitude line on earth. A Longitude  is a geographic coordinate that tells us the east or west position of a point on the Earth from the prime meridian. It is an angular measurement and expressed in degrees.

All direct to home satellite TV satellites are parked into an orbit that corresponds to the equator back on earth. So aiming your dish from anywhere on earth is just but aiming on a projection of the equator in the sky.

After clicking on Europe this is what you will get. Notice that it now lists Europe, Africa and Middle East at the top.

Now there is a big list that starts from 72.1 deg East (Intelsat 22) to 1 deg East (BulgariaSat 1). My snip is a little bit short that is why you cant see BulgariaSat 1

but if you click on the link above you will get to see the whole website with all the satellites.

Now there are two bands of satellite TV frequencies namely C band and Ku band. If we read to the right of the first satellite at 72.1E you will see the satellite name which is Intelsat 22 and the right of it again you will see Cku which means that this satellite houses both C band and Ku band frequencies.

For another example the satellite at position 52.5E Al Yah 1 is a Ku Band satellite only.

Read more about the difference between C band and Ku Band satellite frequencies.

The satellite dish size calculato r

Free to air satellite for beginners

Can you name the Dstv or Zuku satellite? I’ll give you a hint 36 deg East and 4.9 deg East respectively.

Now trace the orbital position 7 deg East and click on it or the satellite name Eutelsat 7A . You will notice that there are two satellites here that share the same orbital position. This is not uncommon. You will get the following at the top will be the satellite name and Orbital Position.

Now let us go back and select the other satellite at that position which is Eutelsat 7B with receivable transponder frequency in most of Sub-Sahara Africa inclusive of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Congo, Malawi, Zambia e.t.c. The Transponder frequency is 11356 H 45000.

I think with the arrows everything has been explained. A good free to air satellite receiver will handle the rest (frequency, symbol rate, FEC rate and PIDs) provided your dish is pointed at that direction.

One thought on “Lyngsat for Beginners”

Are all the satellite along the same lines? That is, if you get one the next will be found by adjusting your dish upward or downward. Or by moving left or right

Newbies Guide and Introduction to Understanding Lyngsat.com

Published on April 13, 2020 at 4:23 pm > Last Updated September 5, 2023 by Lemmy Morgan .- 9 Comments

In some of my previous articles, I wrote about navigating the lyngsat website for intermediate and advanced users. Today’s post will focus on doing the same for my beloved readers who are beginners or newbies to satellite TV installation. Apart from this, it is sometimes tricky to interpret the contents of lyngsat with respect to those visiting the website for the first time. Never mind, I was once in your shoes, but now I know better, and that is why I am doing this introduction to lyngsat for beginners.

Introduction to lyngsat for beginners in Brief

The trick to match Satellite and orbital positions on Lyngsat.com

First off, to all Free-to-Air satellite TV enthusiasts and aspiring installers worldwide, lyngsat.com is a very important website for getting useful information about satellite TV channels.

This tutorial will teach you how lyngsat works and how to use it in layman’s language. Suffice it to say that organizations like Globecast (an international Telecommunications giant from France) use lyngsat.

To make this very comprehensive, I included at least two illustrations. When you first visit www.lyngsat.com you will be greeted with the featured image below:

Now, since I live in Nigeria, I wrote this for people living specifically in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. For residents of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, when searching for satellite TV information on lyngsat, the link to click on the homepage of lyngsat is the Europe link under column 73E – 0E, as shown in the image above .

Notice that if you live in Sub-Sahara Africa, the satellite receivable list is mainly in Europe and the “Atlantic” links on the Satellites row. So you can also click on the Atlantic link on the Satellites row instead of Europe. However, I will limit myself to Europe in this tutorial because that is where the bulk of the satellite receivable in sub-Saharan Africa is located.

Definition of Basic Terms that will Help you Understand Lyngsat Better

Interestingly, it would be best to have a bit of your geography knowledge. Satellite positions are named after the corresponding longitude line on Earth. A Longitude  is a geographic coordinate that tells us the east or west position of a point on the Earth from the prime meridian . It is an angular measurement and expressed in degrees.

All DTH(direct-to-home) satellite TV signals are parked into an orbit corresponding to the equator back to Earth. So, aiming your dish from anywhere on Earth is just aiming at a projection of the equator in the sky.

After clicking on Europe, the picture below represents the exact image you will see. Notice that it now lists Europe, Africa, and the Middle East at the top.

Don’t Miss:   Predetermine the size of dish/antenna to be used for any Satellite TV packages

Beginner’s Guide on how to use Lyngsat.com

Now, there is a big list that starts from 72.1ºE(Intelsat 22) to 1.9ºE (BulgariaSat 1) .

Example 1: How to decode satellite frequency bands on lyngsat

In addition,  there are two bands of satellite TV frequencies, namely the C band and the Ku band . If we read to the right of the first satellite at 72.1ºE you will see the satellite name, Intelsat 22, and right beside it,  you will see KU, which means that this satellite houses both C-band and Ku-band frequencies.

Especially relevant:   Definition of LNB Skew and LNB Clock Methodology for Beginners

Example 2:Using the satellite at position 52.5E Al Yah 1(Ku Band satellite)

From the image above, with the help of my arrow in the image, can you name the Dstv or Zuku/startimes satellite? I’ll give you a hint. DStv is 36ºE while Zuku is 4.9ºE.

Now, let me help you to answer my question; “Do you name the Dstv or Zuku satellite?”

Most times, one satellite contains several packages. Therefore, my hint of 36 deg East and 4.9 deg may have confused you since there are several satellites under the orbital positions 36E AND 4.9E.

This is so because the satellites are close together, so much so that most of them are receivable using a single satellite dish. The correct answers are Eutelsat 36B and SES5, respectively.

Now, if you click on the 36 deg East link, you will be directed to a list of all channels on the satellites Express AMU 1 and Eutelsat 36B. But if you choose to click on the individual satellite names, you will be directed to the individual list of channels and providers. For example, I opted to click only on Eutelsat 36B and got all sorts of satellite TV packages with unique names. Among these are DStv channels, as shown in the image below.

Now, trace the orbital position 7 deg East and click on it or the satellite name Eutelsat 7C . You will notice that two satellites here share the same orbital position. This is not uncommon.

Now let us go back and select the other satellite at that position, which is Eutelsat 7B with receivable transponder frequency in most of Sub-Sahara Africa inclusive of Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Congo, Malawi, Zambia e.t.c. The Transponder frequency is 11356 H 45000. I bet you will see something similar to this with a few differences.

I have explained the basics of lyngsat with the aid of highlighted images. If you want to proceed to the intermediate and advanced knowledge of lyngsat, you can read my article on how you can predetermined the dish size to use for any given satellite . A good free-to-air satellite receiver will handle the rest (frequency, symbol rate, FEC rate, and the PIDs) provided your dish is pointed in that direction.

Furthermore, why not check out our article strictly on all the 100% Free-to-Air channels you can receive in Africa ?

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
