I do not believe that! For B3 to be economical (as it has 54 MHz transponders) you would have to use 1/2 transponder and have 2 transport streams per transponder.<br /><br />That gives you plenty of channels per transponder but at a 6 dB output backoff meaning better get your 1.2 M antennas ready for the SMALLEST size.<br /><br />Why else do you think B3 sits there with only all the commercial Optus (ie Aurora) services on 12407.<br /><br />Alternative Optus charge less, but you think that will happen?<br /><br />That is why ALL satellites not for DTH Ku are all 36 MHz transponders!!
