There appears to be a rain margin there too which shocked me on an 85cm dish.Around at 8W I get the AlJazeera channels, Dubai Sports and Dubai Racing all on the MENA beam, all verticals but nothing on 7W 12445V (Bein) on the MENA beam. I do get Qatar TV on 7W though? Is the transmit power on Bein lower?If I remember rightly, on my old 1M dish I used to be able to get the horizontals on a crystal clear day in the morning. That would have been on Nilesat though.</blockquote>
