Biss Key Latest 2025 – Strong Transponders List & Dish Size for All Satellites in Pakistan

Nice — I pulled the latest transponder & footprint data and put together a concise, up-to-date list of the major satellites receivable in Pakistan with their strong transponders (example TPs) and recommended dish sizes. These recommendations are approximate — the actual dish needed depends on your city (EIRP at your location). I cite the sources I used so you can check the exact frequencies and new TP changes.

Quick summary (how to read this)

• Band: C = C-band (larger dish), Ku = Ku-band (small dish/DTH).
• Strong TP (example): one or two representative transponder frequencies commonly used in Pakistan.
• Dish size (Pakistan): recommended dish diameter ranges for reliable reception across most Pakistani cities (approximate).
• For full transponder lists and latest updates, check the satellite’s LyngSat channel page or SatBeams footprint for your exact city. (LyngSat)

Major satellites receivable in Pakistan (updated)

Satellite (Orbital slot)	Band	Example strong transponder(s) (freq/pol / SR) — example	Typical dish size (Pakistan)
Paksat-1R (38.0°E)	C & Ku	C-band: 3792 V (HUM/major Pakistani channels) — DVB-S2 etc. (see TP list). (LyngSat)	C-band: 6–9 ft (≈1.8–2.7 m) for solid reception across Pakistan.
AsiaSat 5 / AsiaSat 7 / AsiaSat 6 (100–105.5°E)	C & Ku	Example Ku/C strong TPs used for regional DTH / TV (Asiasat5 Ku ~12522 V etc.). (Scribd)	Ku-band: 60–90 cm (2–3 ft) in many areas; C-band: 4–8 ft where C TPs are used.
INSAT / GSAT / GSat (≈93.0–93.5°E) (SunDirect / DD Free Dish beams)	Ku & C	DD Free Dish / Sun Direct TPs (e.g. ~11090 V / 11030 V / other). (LyngSat)	Ku-band: 60–90 cm (2–3 ft) is typically sufficient across Pakistan.
NSS-6 / DishTV India (95°E)	Ku	Strong Ku TPs used by Indian DTH (example ~11090–11172). (Scribd)	Ku-band: 60–90 cm (2–3 ft).
Measat-3 / MEASAT (91°E)	C & Ku	Mixed C/Ku TPs; some strong Ku for DTH services. (Scribd)	C-band: 4–6 ft where C beam covers; Ku: 60–90 cm.
Yamal / Yamal-401 (90°E)	C & Ku	Some C/Ku TPs are reachable depending on beam/EIRP. (Scribd)	C-band: 5–8 ft.
Nilesat / Eutelsat-7W (7°W)	Ku	Popular for Middle Eastern channels (NileSat TPs ~10500–21420). Reception in Pakistan depends on dish size & local horizon. (LyngSat)	Ku-band: 80–120 cm (2.5–4 ft) recommended in Pakistan (edge of footprint).
Hotbird (13°E)	Ku	Large bouquet of FTA/pay channels; footprint weaker in Pakistan than regional satellites. (LyngSat)	Ku-band: 80–120 cm (2.5–4 ft) recommended (edge reception).
Other GEO satellites (e.g., Turksat, Intelsat, Arabsat,   depending on slot)	Ku/C	Many TPs — availability and required dish size vary strongly by satellite and by Pakistani location. Use SatBeams for per-TP EIRP. (Satbeams Web and Mobile)	Ku: 60–120 cm (2–4 ft) depending on beam strength; C: 4–9 ft.

Important notes & how to verify for your exact city

1. Dish size depends on your city’s position inside the satellite footprint (EIRP): footprints are not uniform — a city near the beam center needs a smaller dish; the edge of the footprint needs a bigger dish. Use SatBeams’ footprint maps or LyngSat’s dish-size guidance for each transponder. (Satbeams Web and Mobile)
2. LyngSat provides up-to-date transponder and channel lists per satellite (very useful to pick the exact freq/TP you want). Example: Paksat page and Nilesat/Hotbird pages. (LyngSat)
3. SatBeams gives coverage maps and an approximate dish size estimator for a given location & transponder — the best tool to translate EIRP → dish diameter for your city. (Satbeams Web and Mobile)
4. Many PDF lists found online (forums / Scribd) are user-compiled — they’re handy but can be outdated; cross-check with LyngSat / SatBeams for accuracy. (Scribd)

Want this customized for your city?

If you tell me your city or district in Pakistan (no street address needed), I’ll:

• Check the exact EIRP/footprint for the satellite(s) you care about and
• return a short table with precise TPs + the recommended minimum dish diameter for each transponder in your location (e.g., Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta).

(If you prefer, I can instead fetch and compile a single downloadable spreadsheet of top satellites + their strong TPs and recommended dish sizes for all major Pakistani cities.)
