Armenian channel frequencies, update - July 2019

Today we abstract a little from Tricolor, NTV Plus and pay TV in general. There are many satellites that broadcast channels in the clear. This means that you do not need to pay a monthly fee to view.

One of the most common satellites with a large number of different channels is Hotbird. Hotbird is translated from English as the Firebird. This satellite occupies a convenient position for central Russia at 13 degrees east longitude. From this satellite you can watch channels in Belgian, English, Italian, German, French, Polish, Arabic and other languages ​​of the world. But we are primarily interested in channels in Russian. Since this satellite also contains several channels in Armenian, let's talk about them.
In this article, I will tell you how many and which channels in Russian and Armenian languages ​​are broadcast from the Hotbird satellite, and what you need to set them up.

What diameter satellite dish is required to receive the Hotbird satellite?

To view channels from a satellite, you will need a satellite dish with a diameter of 0.8 meters. I tuned an antenna even 0.6 meters to the satellite, and it worked surprisingly well, even in rainy weather. You can completely use a satellite dish from Tricolor or NTV Plus. But I would still recommend a 0.8 antenna.

Can I use a converter from Tricolor or NTV Plus?

When receiving a satellite signal in the case of Tricolor and NTV Plus, a converter with circular polarization is used. For Hotbird, linear polarizations are used, therefore, the converter from Tricolor and NTV Plus will not work. Purchase an LNB with linear polarization.

Where is the Hotbird 13E satellite in relation to Tricolor?

The orbital position of Zharptitsa is 13 degrees, and Tricolor and NTV Plus are 36. This means that the satellite dish should be turned 23 degrees to the right if you stand behind the dish.


To set up a satellite, you will need a special device or assistant that will monitor the quality of the signal on the TV while you are setting up the antenna. Use transponder 11034/V/27500 for setting. Start slowly rotating the plate vertically and horizontally until a signal appears. Achieve the maximum indication of strength and quality.

When setting up a satellite receiver, you can use automatic search. In this case, the system will set up about a thousand channels for you, among which there are only a few in Russian and only three in Armenian. I propose to take advantage of my experience and set up channels of interest to us in manual mode. For your convenience, I have presented a list of all channels in Russian and Armenian below.

Russia is a multinational country and the Armenians are one of the many nationalities living in it. Many have already assimilated, started families, stayed in the country, someone comes to work. It is important for any people to observe traditions, honor culture, remember the language of their homeland.

In the broadcasting grid of Russian cable and satellite operators there are no channels in Armenian. The installation of a satellite dish is a popular service in Moscow and the Moscow region, where more than 150,000 Armenians live. To connect the system to apartment buildings visibility of the south direction from the windows is required. Tall buildings, trees at window level can become an obstacle to reception. In such situations, as well as in the absence of reception from the window, the antenna can be connected on the roof of the building. But this type of work increases the cost of connection, as the costs of cable and its pulling are added. When installing an antenna in the suburbs, the signal can be found both on the wall and on the roof of the house. The absence of high-rise buildings facilitates reception.

Satellite Armenian channels and frequencies 2019

1. Hotbird 13 is the most common option for connecting programs. The satellite also provides a large number of European, Asian, Arabic TV programs. Antenna 90-120cm is suitable for connection. Programs are broadcast in MPEG2 format.
2. Intelsat 33 60 degrees East. Since the summer of 2015, a new list of programs has been launched. The broadcast network is significantly different. Programs are designed for local viewing on the territory of Armenia, and not for Europe, as with Hotbird. For reception, you will need to connect a 90-120cm dish. Programs are broadcast in MPEG4 format, in BISS encoding.

satellite equipment

Television is connected to plates with a diameter of 60-90cm. You can get a stable signal that is not affected by bad weather conditions using 120cm antennas.

Full set equipment will consist of:

• Antenna 0.6 -1.2m
• Linear polarization converter
• FTA receiver
• RG6 cable

The most popular antennas for Armenian television are mirrors Russian manufacturer Supral. They are fairly inexpensive and reliable. But they have one major drawback. The equipment is made of steel coated with powder paint. Steel will rust over time appearance antennas. Import analogues for example, WISI or Gibertini dishes are made of aluminum and have improved signal reception characteristics. The service life of the latter is much longer.

Converters come with a different number of outputs, which is directly related to the number of TVs that you plan to connect. All satellite channels from Hotbird are broadcast in the usual digital MPEG2 format. Viewing is done on any satellite receiver. But we have entered the era of high-definition television, gradually all programs will move to given format broadcasting. Therefore, with the expectation of the future, it is recommended to purchase an HD device. Programs with Intelsat 904 are already in the MPEG4 standard, an HD receiver is required to view.

Communication with the installer of antennas for Armenian TV - 8-962-963-31-08

Keys from Intelsat 33 satellite (BISS encoding)

Keys to channels can be driven into the set-top box with an emulator of satellite keys - GI, Openbox receivers.
