Free To Air satellite channels are broadcast either on C or KU band, similar to VHF or UHF on terrestrial TV. C band is broadcast in the 3.6 to 4.2GHz frequency range and typically requires at least a 180 cm diameter dish for reliable reception of most channels. However, some high power C Band channels can be received with a dish as small as 120 cm. Ku band is broadcast in the 11.7 to 12.2GHz frequency range. The higher frequency range makes it possible to receive channels using a dish as small as 76cm in diameter.
