RTPi Portugal FTA channel upgrading to DVBS2 MPEG4 - Jul 02, 2014
Please be advised that on July 7th 2014 at 7am Portugal time, transmission parameters for the RTPi Portuguese service currently on Intelsat 805 @ 55.5W (C-band) will change from DVB-S to DVB-S2 and from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 video.
All viewers currently viewing RTPi using a C-band dish aimed at 55.5W will have to add or update the transponder parameters and rescan in order to continue receiving RTPi. The new transponder parameters are as follows:
Satellite: Intelsat 805 @ 55.5W (C-band)
Frequency: 4101
Polarity: Vertical
Symbol rate: 2320
FEC rate: 8/9
Modulation: DVB-S2 QPSK
MPEG4 video 4.2.0 SD
Customers still using legacy DVB-S MPEG-2 FTA satellite receivers will need to purchase a new receiver that supports DVB-S2 and MPEG-4.
Dr. Sat carries the latest and best FTA receivers supporting DVB-S2 MPEG4 including:
As an added benefit, any of the above receivers can be pre-configured with all available Intelsat 805 55.5W channels prescanned and RTPi as the default channel for a no hassle plug and play upgrade.
Also for a limited time, get a Portugal heavy duty car country flag FREE while supplies last when purchasing any of our FTA receivers to receive RTPi again, a $9.99 value!
Please note that RTPi viewers using a Ku-band dish aimed at 97W will NOT be impacted by this change as the channel will remain DVB-S MPEG-2 on Galaxy 19 as this time. However, as that channel will eventually upgrade to MPEG-4, we strongly recommend that our Portuguese customers only purchase FTA satellite receivers which support DVB-S2 MPEG-4 for any new system from now on.
If you have any questions or would like to puchase a new receiver, please feel free to contact us.
