Arabsat BADR-8

[Ivan Semov]

before from these frequencies Badr6 MENA,Badr5 MENA, there was no signal in Bulgaria.
I confirm that the frequencies I described above are already being broadcast by the new Badr8 satellite

12456 H 27500 Oman TV
Signal now reduced to 33% SQ

just to confirm,Oman weaker than others (Mauritania;kuwait)
still no trace of 12073...

 

[Satfaca]

the problem is not so much DVB-S2X as the fact that it Stream Type is Packetized

Well, you first need to get a lock if you want to establish what kind of stream there is so ... there is a big problem if you don't have a DVB-SX2 capable gear.

 

[satelliclub]

Wath a 12731 H ?
I not have a signal to 12731 H 27500 or 30000 !

 

[suedschwede]

I think Feed's

 

[Satfaca]

Yep, that is a constant Al Sharqiya feed here.

 

[Satfaca]

Major improvement in central Europe, now only Central Asia beam and Es'hailsat out of reach.

'ere are my scan results below for the satellite cluster centred around 26.0E.
The dish was peaked on 12456H, SR27500, whatever satellite that is on, thought to be BadMan-8 ?

The dB figures are reasonably accurate from the tabulated list.
However, some of them increase marginally by up to 0.4dB when the Signal Analyser tab is used for a more in depth dynamic view of a specific frequency.

Location:
Surrey, UK.

The reception situation in Central Europe has visibly improved. I did a quick scan and I have reception of 575 channels on gibertini 150. If it stays like this, it will be great. I have to check in more detail what I'm monitoring, because I don't have time to check at the moment because of small children.

 

[Beli1910]

Moram pobrskati po arhivu starih slik, pa se mi zdi, da imam sedaj na tej frekvenci močnejši signal med 3 in 4 db. Prej sem imel občasno sprejem ob ugodnih vremenskih razmerah.
------
I have to look through the archive of old pictures, but it seems to me that I now have a stronger signal between 3 and 4 db on this frequency. Before, I had occasional reception during favorable weather conditions.

[satelliclub]

We note that the current frequency of the Yemeni package on Badr 4 is 12182, horizontal 16200
It will be adjusted to 12188 horizontal 27500 when moved to Badr8

 

[danny10]

11919 H move to EMENA beam..

 

[4Himdj]

I couldn't get ssc sport channels before switching to badr8 in Rome with a 120cm dish. Around 9,5 db now pretty good

it is a pity I still can't get central asia beam

 

[danny10]

With a small dish on a CA beam in our latitudes, forget it..

 

[satesco]

BADR 8 in my area with 1.50m.
I hope it won't restrict the coverage area later, as happened with other satellites after they became operational.
