Satellite TV guides

It can be hard to find satellite tv guides that list all the tv channels and shows that you want to watch. The biggest satellite TV guide is LyngSat, a company which lists the free channels available for Canada, America, Africa and Europe. The listings are shown in a neat graph, with most channel names being a clickable link that will tell you more about what’s being shown on that channel. The graph also shows you the channels symbol, the satellite and beam it uses, and the video data stream.

Galaxy Marketing also offers a free satellite tv guide, which lists the channels for C and Ku band. By clicking on the frequency or satellite, you are shown a comprehensive list of what is being shown on it. However, as a third party provider, some of the listings are changed at the last minute.

'Dial a Dish' also offers a complete list of satellites, frequencies and listings, as well as selling and installing dishes and digiboxes. Their website looks very smart and polished, and is regularly updated. The listings are kept up to date, although for some satellites or countries, clicking on the link transfers you back to LyngSat.

Some publications now include free viewing channels, and there are plans to launch a weekly satellite tv guide for free to view channels in some parts of America.
