Roughly about the same comparing badr4 to 101/102 Nilesat verticals, with Nilesat getting Fox series, badr4 not. As for badr6 Nilesat H ??

Best way for you to find out, is try out both positions with your dish, and see what you can pick up from each. Also, bear in mind the effect of the coming into full service of Nilesat 201 may have. The main channels you'll be looking for are the MBCs (MBC2,MBC3, MBC4,MBC Action, MBC Max,MBC persia), Fox series ,Fox movies and Dubai One.
