Satellites and coverage, antennas, frequencies and transponders for tuning Continent TV

The satellite equipment was created on the basis of the Star-2 platform, which includes 22 Ku-extension transponders. Transponder beams are directed towards the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and the Russian Federation (4 devices with a 36 MHz band). The satellite was launched into the sky on November 30, 2009 at about 12 am Moscow time. In the geostationary orbit of Intelsat-15, it replaced the very outdated Intelsat 709. It is now possible to receive channels belonging to the Continent Television company throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation. For reception, it is required to purchase and install a satellite dish with a circumference of 60 centimeters for the central region of the country and up to 1.5 meters on the outskirts of the country. Everything will depend on the area where the owner of the TV is located.

There is an opinion

I connected to it in 2018 through employees working in a representative office in the region – the company “Vector”: they approached, set it up, there were no questions. They started when the satellite broke down after 1 month and the channels began to show for half a day.
