    You can see on Lynsat that there are maps that show you the spot beams for the channels. If you have a look you will find the spot beam for those channels/TP's are for NZ only.

    On the right hand side of the listed NZ channels there is a collumb with blue letters NZB if you click on those letters it will link you to the mape of the NZ beam. It's not fair is it they can pick up our FTA SBS and ABC but we can't get thiers.

    You can listen to three FTA radio services on that transponder.
    NZ's Radio National or is it National Radio, Concert FM ( like ABC Classic FM) and Tahu FM ( a Youth format station)

    Wrong. We don't get ABC at all, and SBS is encrypted.

    Almost all h-pol spot beams are country specific. I can't get any of the Australian uplinks on h-pol.

    Yes. Plus, in the future I expect PNG's NBC Radio to be broadcast on IS8 C band via DVB-S2 audio, meaning an HD decoder is required, I'll listen to this one owing ongoing border issues vis.


    Border trade banned in Sandaun province
    Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:00pm


    Trading at the Wutung border post in Sandaun, between Papua New Guinean locals and their Indonesian counterparts, will be banned later this week.

    Provincial Police Commander, Chief Inspector Sakawar Kasieng, said members of the public in Vanimo township, have been given the last few days to do shopping at the border, before the ban comes into force this Sunday.

    Mr Kasieng said the ban is inline with the recent National Executive Council decision.

    He further explained, the Cabinet decision came through the Member for Vanimo-Green River and Minister for Forest, Belden Namah.

    Chief Inspector Kasieng said NEC decided to close the border trade, because of frequent military intrusions and illegal entries of people, at the PNG Indonesia border.

    He said the ban will be lifted, once proper responses are received from Indonesia.

    But NBC Sandaun understands, lndonesia has since complied with the PNG Government’s demands for an apology, which also saw the repainting of the monument at Wutung, which was defaced by some Indonesian soldiers, earlier this year.
