    some time to be spent in front of the
    TV.“ Unfortunately, the entire magic of
    receiving foreign satellite channels from
    far-away corners of the world is lost in
    the process. „When ASIASAT 1 started
    we all got very excited, as channels from

    band mesh antenna on a Takao Kameda remembers. NTSC was
    professional pole with a
    height of 7 metres. the analog colour system used in Japan,
    so DXers were able to watch channels
    from ASIASAT 1 with their existing TV.
    Over the course of so many years Takao
    Kameda has steadily enlarged his collec-
    tion of satellite receivers using all sorts
    of CA systems. Right now he is having
    an in-depth look at the iCool G2 DVB-S2
    receiver.

    Keito Takahashi is a similarly commit-


    ted satellite enthusiast. He even speaks
    Chinese and is a regular viewer of the
    Chinese satellite channels by CCTV. He
    joined the satellite community more than
    ten years ago when he bought his first
    satellite antenna: It was a 3-metre KTI
    mesh antenna imported from the USA.
    Today he operates a 2.4m mesh antenna
    for the C band and a smaller 1.2m dish
    for the Ku band. Keito Takahashi is a true
    celebrity and a popular interview partner
    for Japanese TV stations and newspapers
    when it comes to experience and exper-
    tise in the satellite field. He also loves
    China and even sent his son over to China
    to learn the language. „I watch Chinese
    TV and learn the language from watching
    and listening.“ Another worthwhile reason
    for becoming a satellite enthusiast!
