Which LNB should use for Bangabandhu-1 satellite signals?

Bangabandhu satellite is the first satellite by Bangladesh. Currently, the Bangabandhu satellite located at longitude 119.09°E. The Bangabandhu satellite has 14 C-Band transponders and 26 Ku-Band Transponders.

We are receiving lots of emails from our users that they are unable to get signals for the Bangabandhu1 satellite. So we have tried it for you.

If you are using the same/old trick to get Bangabandhu satellite TV channels then it will not work. Because of Bangabandhu1 satellite airing FTA TV channels by using Extended C-Band LNB.

It means normal C-band LNB will not work, you need special C-Band LNB with special specifications.

Let’s understand the LNB and Satellite Transponder Frequencies first-

Normally we use 5150 LNB Frequency (LO) to receive C-Band channels. and at the same time, we use normal LNBs.

Now you can calculate LO according to TV channel frequency (TP Frequency).

Now you check all the transponder (TP) frequency list of Bangabandhu satellite.

• 4600 H 30000
• 4640 H 17500
• 4720 H 30000
• 4760 H 30000

Now think which LNB you should use?, of course, I used Extended C-Band LNB (4.5GHz to 4.8GHz) because it is designed to receive the above frequencies between 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz. See below

I used this C-Band Extended LNB in my Installation

The SOLID company also launched extended C-Band LNB with the best specifications.

For LO: 5150MHz

Input Frequency – 3.7~4.2GHz and also Receive 4.2GHz ~ 4.5GHz

Output Frequency – 950 ~ 1250MHz and 1250 ~ 1550MHz

For LO: 5750MHz

Input Frequency – 4.5GHz ~ 4.8GHz

Output Frequency – 1550 ~ 2050MHz

Noise Figure: 12K

Gain : 65dB

And I used SOLID C-Band 180cm Dish Antenna and SOLID SF-900 satellite finder.

Here is the setting in my set-top box or SF-810Pro Meter

Satellite – Bangabandhu1

Position – 119.09°E

LNB Frequency – 5750

TP Frequency – 4600

Symbol Rate – 30,000

Polarization – H

22K – Auto

and started to rotate the dish antenna by using SF-900 meter, and finally, I have found the Bangabandhu satellite extended C-Band signals by using my FTA system after 20 minutes of hard work.

Here are detailed channel list –
