Satellite TV
Using a parabolic antenna or dish at home to watch tv from around the countries has been the major hobby for me. It is more than just a hobby because I meet (or if it's not that category, have instead) many friends from Indonesia and other countries such as: Australia, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Philipine and Malaysia that share the interests of tasting this service.
It's not just about television, it is also about the quality program that we love to track the satellite for any transponders changed. Everyday the new channel has it own progress on many satellites that beam on the East Hemisphere not including Europe and Africa.
I use for now, a set of PC and DVB-Card from Technisat with its famous brand of SkyStar 2 PCI and USB (mine is PCI). This set of television sets (for me privately) is enough just to watch my favourite channels on the satatellites.
My main sat-point is Palapa C2 at 113'E with its Indonesian Channels (most favourite one is Global TV) and Telkom 1 at 108'E by tuning to TransTV usually and some Telkomvision Channel (if the channels are in FTA). The foreign tvs would be DW-tv and Al-Jazeera on Asiasat 3S at 105,5'E and some Europe Channels on Asiasat 2 at 100,5'E.
My sat-point then goes to Measat 3 (91,5'E), ST1 (88'E), Insat and Thaicom, Telstar 10, Intelsat 7/10, all of them are on the west point on the horizon. At east I got Chinasat 6 (115,5'E), Asiasat 4 (120'E), JCSAT3 (128'E), Telstar18 (138'E), and more ofcourse.
My 8ft mesh dish has just been at those range of satellites for now, but I plan to catch more in the future. Using my PC doing grabbing activity sometime or having some CS (Cardsharing to Watch the Paytv - it's actually illegal). Lastly, I try my satellite hunt more to west to get some signal from Russian Satellite i.e. Yamal 202 to watch some adult content, but nothing found yet and try it later. Maybe I should buy a new dish to subtitute my locally made 8ft dish.
Still in dreaming!
