badr 6 C-band

[ziad_younan]

Hello,

I am living in Holland....i wonder if i can receive badr 6 the C-band ...
badr 6 Ku-band is not available in europe...
so how can i receive badr 6 C-band here with my digitale receiver...
or do i need an analogue receiver for the C-band...
and what is the dish size required and the LNB sort....

friendely greetings....

Hello!
and welcome on board!
badr 6 is just lunched,in the first july week,i dont here any report that is curencly active with porgrams!
but i think it will start very soon!

for 26 east cband positions i recomended minimum of 1,50 m full size dish here,with my 1,86 m dish i can nearly reveive everything!
the 30,5 e at the moment is much weaker,and needs ofert 2 m dish,but lets wait,until the new satelite is in service,then we know more!
what dish dou you have at the moment?

 

[ziad_younan]

i have Triax 90 cm....and i receive quite a good signal of badr 3/4
i heard that the Ku-band of badr 6 is not covering europe...only north africa and the middle east...unlike the C-band which will have a good reception in europe...so i wondered if i could receive them also with my same digital receiver and dish....

thanks for your reply

To receive any C band transmissions you will need a C band lnb and a C band stb, but until transmissions start nobody knows...... Badr 6 is currently at the 20 East slot

i mean the old badr cband satelite,the new one is sitll not in serice,but i think it will start soon!

look that you find a cheap 1,80m dish,thats a good size for cband!
30,5 east badr is much more lower in signal then 26e in cband!

BADR6 C BAND projected footprint = http://www.arabsat.com/ArabSat/English/TheFleet/In-OrbitSatellites/26°+East/BADR6Cband.htm

24 c Band TPs and there are 4 higher power TPs at + 3dBW = 33-36dBW (36-39dBW by 2nd diag) in UK if I have read it right..... 1.5m in central UK?

20 Ku Tps and the projected BADR6 Ku band footprint is shown (left menu) and looks like 7w or MBC's footprints on 26e so it's difficult to project what BADR6 will be like here, but most capacity that has already been contracted is for Africa /ME etc... (see NEWS & PRESS links) at top.
Mostly new HD TV / data & telephony

MBC2 HD anyone..?

Arabsat's site has a news flash that the existing digi C Band is all moving to 30.5e as an FTA package on 080808 (nice date)... arr, and shows you how to modify a linear C band LNBf to circular polarization! bless em.

need a much bigger dish... like 7w H's ....hhmmmm......1.8...2.4...3m.. :mad:

Maybe this BADR6 thing will not be too good for UK.. already we have bad test signals on KU for UK.... then there is out of order BADR5 to come.... OH b#gger..:mad:

I do know that orbit networks are waiting for badr 6 for orbit HD channels

Badr-6 C-band is reported to have fired up with 4 analogue channels moving over from the elderly Badr C

Hi !
i think all analouge channels will move to the other badr satelite in the next couple of weeks!

hi all i picked up the 4 analogue channels on badr 6 they are very weak on 1.2mtr dish so you have to use low threshhold.

 

[guest poster]

is that with a circular pride21.. and thanks for the report,

 

[pride21]

yes pedro with circular lnb

 

[Turok]

curencly with 1,80 m dish i have 22 channels found in with blindcan receiver on 30,5 east,the strongest is almanar!
one year ago i testet with 2,20m fullsize dish and got all data transponders on the east beam of 30,5 e,they are sending out by a german company,for the arabic ragion with a 7,5 meter uplink dish!

yes pedro with circular lnb

Shame... we have other reports of the badr6 c about the same, just hoped it was linear so there was a bit more- overall then badr6 has been er.. badr (sic) for c as well.:mad:
