ResearchChannel’s mission is to make the latest research findings available to the public. To become a ResearchChannel retransmitter and receive our satellite coordinates, just complete these four easy steps:

The first thing that you should do is verify your equipment is compatible with ours. ResearchChannel transmits a DVB (Digital Video Broadcast) compliant MPEG2 signal. You need a 1.2 meter or larger dish capable of receiving a Ku-band digital signal from Galaxy-18 and a DVB-compliant integrated receiver/decoder.The DVB project maintains an extensive list of compatible IRDs here.

Note: Receivers using the DigiCipher II© system such as 4DTV and GI 4200 will not decode this signal.

If you do not have compatible equipment, we have a list of vendors who can accomodate your needs here.

ResearchChannel is available across North America by satellite. Please refer to the footprint of G-18, available here.

It is important that you understand our retransmission policies, please review them here.

It's important that you register so that we can promote your station and inform you of important changes to our satellite information in the future. Fill out and submit the registration form.

That's it! We will contact you shortly to confirm your registration and finalize our retransmission agreement. If you have read through all the information above and still have questions, contact us.
