HOW TO WATCH SATELLITE TV IN GERMANY: STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR TURKISH AND INTERNATIONAL CHANNELS

Whether you want to access the rich content of European broadcasters or keep up with Turkish channels while living in Germany, setting up a satellite system is the most reliable way to get high-quality, free-to-air (FTA) signals. In this guide, I will walk you through the process from hardware assembly to software configuration using the 2026 updated parameters.

1. Hardware Setup: Physical Connections

Even if you have zero technical knowledge, you can do this. You will need: a 90 cm satellite dish, a Universal LNB, RG6 coaxial cable, and a Satellite Receiver (or a TV with a built-in DVB-S2 tuner).

  • Dish Placement: Mount your dish facing South. To catch Turkish channels (Türksat 42° East) or German/European channels (Astra 19.2° East), ensure there are no obstacles like trees or buildings blocking the line of sight.
  • Connecting the LNB: Attach the LNB to the arm of the dish. Strip the ends of your coaxial cable, attach the “F-connectors,” and screw one end into the LNB port.
  • Wiring to the TV: Run the cable into your home and connect it to the port labeled “LNB IN” or “Satellite” on the back of your TV or receiver.
  • Power On: Plug in your receiver and connect it to your TV via an HDMI cable. Switch your TV to the correct HDMI source.

2. Software Configuration: Frequency Settings & Scanning

Once the hardware is ready, you need to “teach” your receiver where the channels are.

  • Access the Menu: Press “Menu” or “Settings” on your remote. Navigate to Installation or Dish Setup. (Standard PINs are usually 0000 or 1234).
  • Satellite Selection: Choose Türksat 42E for Turkish content or Astra 19.2E for German channels.
  • LNB Settings: Ensure the LNB Type is set to “Universal” and the LNB Frequency is 9750/10600 MHz.
  • 2026 Updated Auto-Scan Frequency: To find all channels automatically, go to “Manual Scan” and enter these parameters for Türksat:
    • Frequency: 12380
    • Polarization: V (Vertical)
    • Symbol Rate: 27500
    • Network Search (NIT): MUST be set to “ON”.

Start the scan. The receiver will now pull the latest channel lists from the satellite.

3. Post-Installation: Tips for Maximum Performance

Are you seeing “No Signal” or experiencing freezing? Follow these pro tips:

  • Fine-Tuning: Loosen the dish bolts slightly and move the dish by millimeters left-to-right or up-and-down. Watch the “Signal Quality” bar on your screen; tighten the bolts at the highest percentage.
  • LNB Skew: For Türksat in Germany, slightly rotate the LNB clockwise (around the 7 o’clock position when facing the dish) to significantly improve the signal.
  • Cable Check: Ensure the thin copper wire in the center of the cable isn’t touching the outer silver mesh; this causes a short circuit and kills the signal.
