MyTVSatellite - Who's Behind

I wish I can make my dream come true to build my own satellite tracking station at my little house in Sambas - the Sultan's City of Kalimantan Barat (West Borneo). I don't find any other guys here in the city to share my hobby but on forums (internet). The only guy I know for now is my cousin who just enjoy tracking satellites like me. But now he's on studying biology at UNTAN Pontianak an someday to be a teacher.

I by myself did not finished my study there at English Department. So as my little and poor English I try this all by build my very own weblog and give my contribution to people around the globe especially to Asian viewer for I just can receive the signals through Asian coverage region by now.

My equipment today are just these:

Receiver:

        Technosat Mentari - Powerful with its blindscanning capability.

        SS2 (SkyStar 2 PCI) - DVB Card to play on my old PC and do some.

Dish:

        8 feet mesh dish - locally made in Pontianak (I thought).

LNBs:

        Ku-Band LNB from Venus - Universal Prime Focus.

        C-Band - Tanaka and Techsat.

TV monitor:

        14 inch CRT tv (I just bought lately - very small huh, but it's conveinient

         for my little 3 x 4 m room.

Other tools:

        PC with Intel Pentium IV 1.6 GHz inside, not so special guys.

        Internet - GPRS dial up from the GSM operators, sometimes FREE.

You see I'm not so tough and not equip with the high tech gadgets, but I try my best on providing the latest information of this satellite field. I'm proudly to present my work by enjoy. This is all because I love this hobby very much, and want someday to become one of the great satellite trackers in the world. I wish...

Best Luck!
