I used to watch MBC on this satelite. Has it now gone as it is in HD on Nilesat.

If it has gone are the an other good channels between 13e and 42e as i only can get between these satelites.

MBC channels are still shown on Badr 4 in DVB-S on 11919 H 27500.
MBC channels on Nilesat are still shown in DVB-S on 11938 v 27500. All still free to air.

MBC Action (watched Nash Bridges, LOL, this morning!), MBC Max, MBC2 Movies, MBC Entertainment etc are all still there on 26°E Badr4 11919H S/R 27500 FEC 3/4. MBC Persia is also on 11919H (in Biss) and FTA at 26°E Badr4 11938V S/R 27500 FEC 3/4. And Dubai One at 26°E Badr4 12130V S/R 27500 FEC 3/4. Also Eretria TV, EBS, Bahrain55, Saudi2, KTV CH2 entertainment channels and all the sports Badr4 channels JSC, Saudi Sports, Dubai Sports, Modern Sport, KTV Sport+, One Two Sport, Al Kass etc are still there as well. If your Dish is just one click out and your in the UK you will prob lose them or get a weak (less than 26%) signal.

On 42E TNT Turkey 11804V S/R 24444, AKILLI TV 12562V and IMEDI GEORGIA 12609V, 1TV GEORGIA 12601V are ok for entertainment shows, a few show sporting events like TRT, Rustavi2, CNN, Kanal Turk, Kanal A and there are music channels like MTV Turkey as well.

on 13E there's Discovery Real Time Italia (and +1, 12731H, 12207H) and a couple of others Movie1 11200V, Manoto1 11319V, ARTE 11623V, CNBC Europe 11117V.

19.2E also has ARTE & CNBC Europe.

16E ALSAT RTV (Sometimes Encrypted) 12561V, ATLAS 12600V, Vision Plus 11283V, RTK1 Kosova Sat 12633V, TV1 Bosnia 12615V, Euforia Lifestyle 11132V, Nat Geo Music 11061H, Carli Music 10892H.

4.8E English Club TV 12073H, Alfa Omega TV 12703V and some other music/sports.

10E REAL MADRID TV 12092H.

Best to tune in FTA channels listed at King of Sat, Lyngsat or Flysat and check out if the channel mainly dubs or has subtitles. Depends on your main Language/s and viewing preferences also of cource.

Everyone thanks for you help. I am in the UK in Mid Wales but as i am in a block of flats i only have an 80 cm dish. I also have a dragon Cam.

I have checked Badr 4 (26e) and i do get all the channels at 12524/H/27500 so my dishes elivation must have slipped a bit. 11919 was very weak.

I will check out these other channels you have said. Do i need to get a better cam as there are not many update for the dagon.

Thanks again. The help was much appriciated.

All channels mentioned (except for 1TV GEORGIA, TNT, CNN & ALSAT RTV) are FREE TO AIR and do not need a CAM.

And the 4 mentioned only use Biss encryption for certain copyrighted events - usually football.

Can confirm Mbc channels coming in strong for me in the North does not appear to be any reduced power on the 11919H transponder although am not getting them on the 11938v transponder as strongly in the evenings on 7W last few months but thats for another discussion.

Try this one 12182H 16200 Dvb-S.
Has currently four tv cahnnels.
Aden Tv.
Al Eman.
Sheba Tv.
Yemen Tv.
Symbol rate is different from the usual 27500 on 28e and 26e so is the best one that should be used for alignment purposes.

I am please to say that after a lot of playing i have now got Badr 4 (26e) back. My dish is only 80 and it is not an easy satelite to find.

Thanks for telling me it is still there and the extra free channels are help full.

I dont not know where you are in Europe but it is a very weak signal. Even on my 80cm in the uk it is very hard to find.

Hi Guys
If any of you in the Uk or Ireland have the time could you please look at the vertical degrees of your dish when on astra 2 28 east and have someone move the dish by remote to 26 east and watch what happens, does the dish point more towards the ground or the sky and does the lnb arm twist clockwise or anticlockwise, I used to have this sat but cant get it now
Regards
DLB

i get around 200 odd channls on Badr 26e 24/7 and fair enuff signals all the time ,
11919 H 27.500sr Fec 3/4 is MBC Freq i get easily on my 88cm Triax dish ,
but ..
26E is poor in the UK as it gets swamped by 28/23.5E
Try 12.130 v 27500 3/4 for Dubai One

If you get channels B4U Music UK & Create and Craft then your still your on 28e
Alignment is critical for 26e especially for Mbc channels ,
LNB gain Also is critical if i use 0.2db or 0.3db lnb i get very poor signal and badly broken pics ,
but when i use 0.1db lnb i get perfect pics and signals 90%/78%

motor should turn very slightly anti-clockwise ( west ) as motor is going very slightly west if your on 28.2 east ( Sky ) and searching Badr 26e .
Badr is just very slightly lower than Eurobird/Astra 28.2e but not very much talking just millimeters if even that .
i wud start with a 0.1db lnb and very small movements from 28e and also you may need to skew lnb in the lnb holder to obtain maximiumn signals on Badr 26e .
good luck and hope you find this info usefull .

For anyone still having difficulty locking on to badr 4 try this transponder which has a different symbol rate than 23.5e and 28.2e/28.5e and has most of the time a strong signal.
12602v
2960
