MBC ACTION MBC2 MBC4 and MBC MAX in the uk

[Lucy Holmes]

MBC Action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm interested in those channels in the UK, I'm in the north east of the UK Yorkshire to be precise. On wiki it says its available on

Nilesat 102	11938 V - 27500 - 3/4[SUP][1][/SUP]
Arabsat BADR4	11919 H - 27500 - 3/4[SUP][2] [/SUP]

Is it possible on a 1 meter dish, or possible at all

thanks

Hello Lucy

Welcome to the forum, well you say from the North East UK which I would have thought puts you even further out of the footprint for Nilesat. Fringe reception is very fickle and what works in Gateshead may not work 5 miles down the road, so in reality you need to wait for someone near you to respond, or look through existing threads. From my general feeling I would have thought 1mtr would be too small but could be very wrong

I could get MBC on 26E on a good day with my 1.1m in North Yorkshire, but certainly not reliably.

Works fine on my 1metre channel master setup using inverto black ultra lnb.

Good to know

Doubt you ever got nilesat 102 though

Both working ok with my 100cm set up,

7 west 11938 V 27500 Quality=48% (Signals increase after dusk) "Now 54% Quality 8:40pm"
26 east 11919 H 27500 Quality=68%

I still haven't got around to a Black Ultra yet ................ one day!

I never got a clear picture but I did get it once or twice in the evening on my setup, although I rarely got any picture

Just realised i never said its only 26east i can receive those channels. i cant receive anything off the new satellite at 7west maybe i would if i had my cm 1.2 in action.

I still haven't got around to a Black Ultra yet ................ one day!

i thought you would have bought one by now.

You have a pension?????:-Noooalbeit small

Yes, preserved from earlier service and taken just before my 55th birthday at an Actuarially Reduced Rate.

I don't burden the State and am content with very little. Never happier, actually, since realising the iniquity of materialism in my mid-forties.

But not so evangelical or stupid as to turn down the odd bottle of Claret and occasional hols that SWMBO's earning allow - except she lost her job and is doing Temping at a very small premium to the National Minimum Wage.

People don't need more money - they just need to learn how to budget!

And, yes, I may have enough put by to order a Black Ultra soon ................ phew, got back on Topic

Worth trying with a 1.25 in Ireland?

 

[Lazarus]

You'd need a local Northern Ireland opinion ............. can't possibly make a sensible guess based on a somewhat different location.

Okay, thanks for responding though... Sounds about right to me- SKY 45cm in England- 60cm in Ireland... 26e 110cm in England- 125cm in Ireland? Although, not sure...

 

[Lazarus]

No, you can't compare like that: The shape, gradient and EIRP profile of each Satellite Beam is entirely different.

You need a local report.

In North Yorkshire - bang in the centre of York to be precise - never had a problem with the MBC channels on my new Orbital 1m - 11919H has anywhere from 52% to 66% quality depending on weather and whether I tweak the dish slightly east or west. 7W is a different proposition entirely though - only getting a few select transponders on there and, even then, only on cold clear nights

My installer noted I couldn't get the channels reliably with my previous TD-110 but he noted it had been dented by a previous installer, at the very top of the dish. He suggested this was causing reflections from the stronger signals at 23.5E/28.2E and causing the transponder not to come in clearly.

Tonight ive noticed a big drop in signal strength off the mbc channels normally i would get around 90% on my 1.8 tonight im getting 57% signal strength,as a comparison i`m able to receive adsports hd 2-8 and jsc sports 1-10 as i write this


Edit signal strength back to normal when tested at midnight

Good morning,

Try out the new frequency of MBC channels on BADR 6 frequency 12437 V DVB-S/MPEG-4 SR 27500 FEC 3/4
