[edit] Number of transponders per satellite

Can somebody prove to me that all C-band TV satelites have 24 transponders, and all Ku-band ones have 32? miterdale 12:03, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

They don't. SES Astra Astra 1A was Ku band and was 16, and theres bloody huge Ku band ones with 50-60 or higher txp's in use for Europe, such as the later Hotbird's. --Kiand 03:46, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Categories needed

This needs categories to get it noticed. I may add them when I feel like it/can decide which best to use, etc.--DooMDrat 06:05, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

Terrestrial transponders Can somebody please enlighten me on the possibility/existence of satellite transponders on the ground transmitting on Ku Band and how different is it from other trancievers? What advantage if any over existing transceivers?
