Neema TV Expands Reach with DVB‑S2/QPSK Broadcast on Amos 17
At 19:32 CET, Neema TV began a new broadcast window on the Amos 17 satellite, offering viewers expanded coverage across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Using the DVB‑S2 standard with QPSK modulation, this feed delivers a robust signal even under challenging reception conditions. The move to Amos 17 at 17° E reflects Neema TV’s commitment to wider accessibility and improved picture quality for its growing audience. Technically, the channel is uplinked on 11718 MHz with vertical polarization. The DVB‑S2 platform’s enhanced error‑correction capabilities—combined with a 3/4 Forward Error Correction (FEC) rate—ensure efficient use of transponder bandwidth while maintaining signal integrity. With a symbol rate of 30 000 kSym/s, viewers can expect stable reception on consumer-grade dishes from 60 cm diameter upwards, depending on location.
