Astra is the brand name for a number of geostationarycommunication satellites, both individually and as a group, which are owned and operated by SES S.A., a global satellite operator based in Betzdorf, in eastern Luxembourg. The name is also used to describe the pan-European broadcasting system provided by these satellites, the channels carried on them, and even the reception equipment.
From the launch of Astra 1A in 1988 the Astra satellites were owned and operated by Société Européenne des Satellites (SES). In 2001 SES Astra, a newly formed subsidiary of SES, operated the Astra satellites and in September 2011, SES Astra was consolidated back into the parent company.
Astra satellites broadcast nearly 2,400 digitaltelevision and radio channels via five main satellite orbital positions to households across Europe and North Africa. The satellites have been instrumental in the establishment of satellite TV and the introduction of digital TV, HDTV, 3D TV, and HbbTV in Europe.
Astra 1A was the first satellite launched and operated by SES (Société Européenne des Satellites), launched in December 1988. During its early days, it was often referred to as the Astra Satellite, as SES only operated one satellite originally.
The satellite provided television coverage to Western Europe from 1989 through 2004 and was revolutionary as one of the first medium-powered satellites, allowing reception with smaller dishes than before.
Astra 1A was retired and became derelict in December 2004.

A guide to LNB's for satellite reception in the UK
There are a number of different types of LNB for domestic satellite signal reception used in the UK, this video shows six different models and explains the differences and gives a basic idea of how they work.
All LNB's convert the signal from the satellite down to a lower frequency that can travel efficiently through a coaxial cable. The term LNB literally means Low Noise Block (of frequencies) down-convertor. You may also see them called LNBF the "F" standing for feedhorn, the focusing tube at the front of an LNB which is now a standard part of the assembly.
Universal LNB's are compatible with Sky-HD, Freesat-HD and European satellite receivers that use Universal switching in the Ku band. The term "Universal" means the receivers use a voltage and tone switch to select one of the 4 "...

Astra Satellite Arrival
We recently got word a new satellite has come into service at ASTRA. Launched in April, the ASTRA 1KR satellite underwent a rigorous in-orbit testing before arriving on-station at 19.2¡ East, which it shares with several other satellites. Ever wonder what that looks like? We've got the video.

The making of an SES satellite -- ASTRA 2F
See how ASTRA 2F was meticulously put together by satellite professionals. Designed and built for SES by Astrium, a leading manufacturer of commercial satellites, this SES satellite is a powerful six-ton satellite with a design lifetime of 15 years and is built on the Eurostar E3000 platform.
The footage was captured by Astrium in its facility in Toulouse, France.

There are a number of different types of LNB for domestic satellite signal reception used in the UK, this video shows six different models and explains the differences and gives a basic idea of how they work.
All LNB's convert the signal from the satellite down to a lower frequency that can travel efficiently through a coaxial cable. The term LNB literally means Low Noise Block (of frequencies) down-convertor. You may also see them called LNBF the "F" standing for feedhorn, the focusing tube at the front of an LNB which is now a standard part of the assembly.
Universal LNB's are compatible with Sky-HD, Freesat-HD and European satellite receivers that use Universal switching in the Ku band. The term "Universal" means the receivers use a voltage and tone switch to select one of the 4 "polarities" of signal being transmitted from the satellite to be delivered by the LNB; Vertical High and Low, Horizontal High and Low. If your receiver uses universal switching you need a universal LNB.
HD receivers that have built-in recorders (PVR's) have two tuners and often need to access different polarities to find the channel being watched versus the one being recorded. For this reason they have 2 inputs and need 2 feeds from a universal LNB.
LNB's can be set-up to feed a single receiver or by choosing one of the larger units, like the GK8LB Octo you can feed up to eight receivers.
The latest satellite receivers for Sky-Q or Freesat 4K have even more tuners each accessing different channels to either watch, record, watch on another display or even on another device and as a result they need to access all polarities, all of the time. For domestic installations these receivers use two feeds but from a Wideband LNB, one feed carrying all of the Horizontal signals and the other all of the Vertical signals. The signals are spread across a wider range of frequencies in the cable and the receiver is programmed to find the channel at its new frequency on the correct polarity. Worth noting that Wideband LNB's deigned for use in Europe and elsewhere may have a different frequency setting, make sure you choose one specified for the UK.
If your TV system has both a newer Wideband (Sky-Q or Freesat 4K) receiver and Universal satellite receivers GeoSync also have a Hybrid LNB which is designed to feed signals to both. The two outlets at the front for Wideband and the four at the back for Universal.
All GeoSync LNB's for the domestic UK market are fitted with a Mk4 bracket which fits onto the popular elliptical satellite dishes used for Sky and Freesat. If you are using a circular dish it should be fitted with a 40mm diameter LNB bracket which will be compatible with a GeoSync LNB.
All of our LNB's are specified for professional installation and we provide a simple guide on how to fit and align the LNB onto an existing dish to get the best quality signal with every LNB.
LNB's for larger MDU systems and those using dSCR technology are not covered in this video. Contact us via our website if you are looking for this type of product. www.geo-sync.co.uk
