odilibe: I tnink, the only new channel here is jsc sports HD1/2,though it has been on hotbird for more than 3months now..

On my 3m they are new
Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by feasy1(m): 9:40am On Jul 04, 2013
Hello Sat gurus,
My 3m fiber dish (would have gone for 4m but for space constraint) was installed yesterday on Nilesat. The installer mentioned he'll get Abu Dhabi sport but unfortunately ADSport TPs cant be tracked
As it is now, I can only get MBCs(no HD)and Aljazeera sports.This is no value for money considering I have Abu Dhabi HD décoder and 6 month subscription left on Aljazeera and Abu Dhabi card.

My questions are
1. Is there à good chance I can nail Badr 26E with 3m dish in Lagos?
2. Are Abu Dhabi sport TPs activé on Badr 26E
3. I have read on the thread That MBC HDs TPs are active on Badr. Please confirm.
4. Will Yahsat do any better for the MBC HDs?

Below are the channels i hope to be able to view
1. AD Sport HD 3-8, Sky News
2. Al Jazeera Sport +1 to +10, HD1,HD2
3.MBC 2,4,Max,Action (All HD)
4. CNN
5. BBC.
Looking forward to your valuable responses for the near set up taking info considération the résources at hand.


Many thanks

kwame-king:
Pls house: I've finally bought a 1.8m dish. I want to track Irib on Arabsat20E. Pls I know the frequency as well as the biss key. But my difficulty is on how to position the ground mount dish. I mean should I be turning the dish UP & DOWN like how we track 90cm dish? 2. do I have to put the dielectric plate inside the throat of the C-Band LNB b4 tracking? 3. Can I use 3964v30000 straight forward in tracking te IRIB channels? or I should track a Ku-channel at 20E b4 inputing the Irib frequency and do the tracking of the Irib channel? 4. Where should the C-Band LNB block face? 5. After inserting the dielectric plate, should I put that plastic lid which covers the throat of the C-Band LNB? PLEASE house, help me out.

kwame,make sure you have flat surface for your ground mount dish,place your dish there.put di-electric plate inside your lnb ,track using aljazeera news tp.once you have good signal try and skew your lnb for maximum signal strength then scan your receiver you should have your IRIB channel.No need to put the plastic lid and if you still wanna put it no issues its just to prevent cob webs into the throat of the lnb.
Note find a means of fasting your ground mount dish to the flat surface because of heavy wind .

lincolnola: At all the gurus,
I have tracked amos 5 @ 17e, i want to add Badr 5 @ 26e,pls how do i easily do that on 60cm dish and the working TP.
@Lincolnola track 28e multitv with 60cm dish when you hit green with high signal % pick the channels then lift ur dish up slitly to reduce the signal to 65/68 that is Badr 5 @ 26e then blind scan 10 Channels will pop up 5FTA &5 MBCHD scramled.read petfun4u post on page 361-365 with pics its very easy to track.Cheers.

Re: Free To Air Satellite Tv General Thread by feasy1(m): 1:17pm On Jul 04, 2013
Obnelly, Many thanks for the detailed response. Will give Badr 26E à shot, however I need aljazeera + package and News channel is a must,looks like motorising it might be the way to go. Or using a smaller dish for CNN since someone mentioned CNN is free on DSTV TPs, will need to reconfirm that though.

@SULIEMAN,

You can get Silverbird Tv, CCTV news with MPEG 2 but you need an MPEG4 receiver for CNN, TBN, Aljazeera, etc.

I said this much in my earlier post announcing the package.

Also, they are not tied to DSTV. They are only on the same bird with DSTV which is Eutelsat 36A/36B.
