Unlock the Action: Your Guide to SPTV 1 & SPTV2 on NSS 12 Satellite
For football enthusiasts and sports fans, finding reliable channels to catch all the live action is paramount. If you're looking to access SPTV 1 and SPTV2, particularly popular among audiences in Ethiopia and the wider East African region, understanding their satellite broadcast parameters is key. These channels, often sought after for their football content, are available via the NSS 12 satellite.
This guide will break down the essential technical details you need to tune into SPTV 1 and SPTV2, ensuring you don't miss a moment of the game.
Understanding Satellite Tuning Parameters
To successfully add SPTV 1 and SPTV2 to your satellite receiver, you'll need to input specific information. Let's demystify the terms:
Frequency (MHz): This is the specific radio frequency at which the transponder carrying the channels transmits its signal. Your satellite receiver must be set to this frequency to "listen" for the channels.
Polarisation (H/V): Satellite signals are transmitted in either Horizontal (H) or Vertical (V) polarization. Your satellite dish's LNB (Low Noise Block) needs to be correctly oriented to match this.
Symbol Rate (kHz): This dictates the rate at which data symbols are sent through the transponder. An incorrect symbol rate will prevent your receiver from decoding the signal.
Satellite: This identifies the specific geostationary satellite in orbit from which the signal originates. In this case, it's NSS 12, which is commonly known as Ethiosat for channels targeting the Ethiopian market at 57° East.
SPTV 1 & SPTV2: Your Football Hub on NSS 12
SPTV 1 and SPTV2 are dedicated sports channels, highly regarded for their extensive coverage of football (soccer) matches. They provide a vital source of sports entertainment, especially for viewers in Ethiopia and surrounding areas who rely on satellite broadcasts for their live sports fix. These channels are often sought after for offering free-to-air (FTA) or easily accessible football content.
To tune into SPTV 1 and SPTV2, use the following parameters:
Channel Names: SPTV 1, SPTV2
Satellite: NSS 12 (Ethiosat @ 57.0° East)
Frequency: 11050 MHz
Polarisation: Horizontal (H)
Symbol rate: 4000 kHz
Note: While a FEC (Forward Error Correction) value isn't provided, many modern receivers can auto-detect this or use a common default like 2/3 or 3/4 if not specified.
How to Tune Your Satellite Receiver for SPTV 1 & SPTV2
Follow these general steps to add SPTV 1 and SPTV2 to your channel list. The exact menu options may vary slightly depending on your satellite receiver model:
Access Your Receiver's Menu: Turn on your satellite receiver and navigate to the main menu. Look for options like "Installation," "Channel Search," "Satellite Setup," or "Transponder List."
Select Your Satellite: Choose "NSS 12" or "Ethiosat" from the list of available satellites. If you don't see it, you may need to add it manually by inputting its orbital position (57.0° East).
Add/Edit Transponder: Look for an option to "Add New Transponder" or "Edit Transponder."
Enter Parameters:
Frequency: Input
11050Polarization: Select
Horizontal (H)Symbol Rate: Enter
4000Leave FEC on "Auto" if available, or try common values like "Auto," "3/4," or "2/3" if required.
Perform Scan: Once the parameters are entered, select "Scan," "TP Scan," or "Search" to scan for channels on that specific transponder.
Save Channels: After the scan completes, your receiver should find SPTV 1, SPTV2, and potentially other channels on that transponder. Save the newly found channels to your list.
Important Tips for Successful Tuning:
Dish Alignment: Ensure your satellite dish is precisely aligned to NSS 12 (57.0° East). Even a slight misalignment can cause signal loss, especially with lower symbol rates.
LNB Health: A healthy LNB is crucial for good signal reception.
Firmware Updates: Sometimes, updating your receiver's firmware can improve channel scanning and decoding capabilities.
Local Installer: If you consistently face issues, consider consulting a local satellite dish installer who has expertise with Ethiosat/NSS 12 setups in your region.
By following this guide, you should be well on your way to enjoying the live sports action provided by SPTV 1 and SPTV2 directly from the NSS 12 satellite. Get ready to cheer for your favorite teams!
