Reception equipment [edit]
Free-to-air channels on Galaxy 19 can be received in most parts of the United States, including Hawaii and southern Canada with a 75 cm (30") diameter dish and any MPEG-2 DVB compliant free-to-air receiver; receivers for the Glorystar system, which also uses Galaxy 19, can also tune in the FTA channels if the viewer scans the channels manually.
In converse, Glorystar channels, as well as other FTA channels on Galaxy 19, can be tuned with a GlobeCast receiver, if one knows the specific details, such as frequency, symbol rate, and polarization, obtainable from sources such as Lyngsat. However, it is recommended that GlobeCast Customer Support is contacted first, to avoid possible loss of channels or service issues.
For pay channels, GlobeCast provides subscribers with GlobeCast WorldTV-labeled DVB-S receivers.
Between 2006 and 2009, GlobeCast provided receivers of model SE830 made by Taiwanese company Eastern Electronics Co., Ltd.
From 2009, GlobeCast also provides receivers of model Arion AF-2500 made by a Korean company Arion Technology Inc.
From 2011, GlobeCast also provides receivers with built-in Digital Video Recorder, model ZDS-801N, made by Zinwell.
In 2012, Globecast also began launching a direct to home alternative to satellite distribution through an OTT IPTV service called MyGlobeTV using the NetGem N8200 set top box.[1][2][3]
