Good morning,

Atlantic bird 7 to be launched at the end of this year will most likely have the same foot print as Niesat 201.
Atlantic Bird 7 is the satellite that will replace Atlantic bird 4A also know as Nilesat 104 at the end of the year as Atlantic bird 4a will be redeployed to its original orbital position where it will revet to its old name Hotbird 4

@Kungu
Atlantic Bird 7 launch is expected NET 1 September 2011 according to my sources. Check here for updates: http://satlaunch..com/p/launch-schedule-2011.html

FYI Atlantic Bird 4A is known as HotBird-10. It has been launched two years ago.

@satlaunch ,Ofcourse atlantic bird 4a was launched 2yrs ago @7west, but it will be replaced by atlantic bird 7 to be launched in 4th quarter 2011. Atlantic bird 4a will be redeployed/sent to its original position @13degrees east ,where it will revert to it's original name Hotbird 10,the only error  @kungu's post is Hotbird 4 it should be Hotbird 10.

we will keep our fingers crossed.

why  flysat report of aljazeera frequency 11985H/27500 back on nilesat 101, on 27-06-2011? 201 is to replace 101, while 101 is still active @7west untill then. i mean don't expect any serious migration untill 101 is switched off,cheers.

Good afternoon from this part of africa.
Al jazeera frequency 11985 H is still there on Nilesat 201. I have notified Flysat about the change. May be both Nilesat 101 and Nilesat 201 are running the same frequency but i highly doubt as this would cause interference.
Lets wait and see as most Migrations on different satellites begin from July 1st which is the beginning of the financial year for different business.

nilesat 201 signal s very bad here in laogs . the new frequency just got from www.lungsat.com.12188 H 27500,12111 H 27500.11958 H, I used 4meter dish i cant still get the signal,

Hello. I live in Sierra Leone and its been a blow to me that I haven't been able to watch some channels as of late that were transferred to Nilesat 201. I can't capture a single frequency on Nilesat 201. No Aljazeera sport +5 to +8. I have an 8ft dish and I'm using Startsat receiver.
I wonder if things will get better with time or is there something I can do. I know that living in Freetown, I am quite a bit far off but we've been getting almost all the channels with the 8ft dish and everything with a 12ft dish.

Kungu, I guess it is still with dishes in the neighbourhood of 2.4m and above that we can hit this bird here in Yaounde Cameroon. Nice job though!

Hi Casin,

The MBC HD channels are free to air once you buy the MBC Technosat receiver. No monthly charges. The main reason for them encrypting the MBC HD channels is because of copyright issues with the movie providers.
The Movies are very clear which would open up piracy for sale of bootleg Dvds recorded form the MBC HD Channels.

Atlantic bird 7 Update,

Tomorrow is the official launch of Atlantic bird 7 which will replace Atlantic bird 4a most likely early November.
Atlantic bird 7 will be launched from sea.

Current web cam photos of launch preparations,





BERN, Switzerland, September 20, 2011 – The Sea Launch vessels have departed Sea Launch Home Port for the Equator, in preparation for the launch of the ATLANTIC BIRD™ 7 satellite owned by Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris:ETL), on September 23rd. Liftoff is planned for 13:18 pm Pacific Daylight Time (20:18 GMT/UTC), at the opening of a 74-minute launch window.

Upon arrival at the launch site later today, at 154 degrees West Longitude, the Sea Launch team will initiate a 72-hour countdown. After ballasting the Odyssey Launch Platform to launch depth, the team will roll out and erect a Zenit-3SL rocket on the launch pad, execute final tests and then proceed with fueling operations and launch. Prior to fueling, all personnel on the Launch Platform will transfer to the Sea Launch Commander for the duration of the mission. The team monitors both marine and launch operations remotely from the ship, positioned about four miles uprange of the platform.

On launch day, the Zenit-3SL vehicle will lift the 4,600 kilograms (10,141 lbs.) ATLANTIC BIRD™ 7 spacecraft into a defined high-perigee geosynchronous transfer orbit. Built by Astrium, an EADS company, its scheduled in-orbit lifetime exceeds 15 years. Its final geostationary orbit will be located at 7 degrees West Longitude, a key neighbourhood for Eutelsat’s digital broadcasting markets in the Middle East and North Africa.

No provider will give it's subscribers hd movie channels for free, the MBC HD channels are availlable free on technosat T-786 HD satellite receiver which comes with a card which is vallied  for 3years on conax encryption.That is no monthly fees for 3years.After 3yrs the card  becomes invalid then what  .I got this info from a good source.  . As for piracy issues i don't think anyone is going to pirate or sale old movies on dvd recorded from a satellite channel for the sake of HD.
