INSAT-4A Transponder capacity

[ayushlabroo]

How much more space is left on INSAT-4A as Tata Sky has recently added many channels, as they were before claming that INSAT-4A is almost full. Then now how much space is left in TP's of INSAT-4A.

I think no one knows it correctly, but it's almost full now.

yes no one can give exact 100% details.... but an approximate standard is, in one TP we can add 12 HD and 40-50 SD channels using mpeg4. But TS uses mpeg2, means channels take more space, may be double. So, its almost full now

Why Tata Sky is not adoptimg MPEG-4. What is the problem if they are planning then when can we expect it.

one tp can handle upto 20 channels so 220 sd channels can accomodate
