The MBC channels (Nilesat)

[NickCY]

Yeah the MBC channels are awesome Most of the stuff I watch is on these channels. They've got great movies, A LOT of American comedies and series and reality shows. In general Nilesat has many great channels to choose from. One TV is also very good, Alrai, Dream TV, Saudi 2, and sometimes Oman has some good comedies and movies

I forgot to mention that the Infinity channel and Kuwait 2 channel are also very good on Nilesat They also show a lot of American comedies, series and movies ;)

And what is your location NickCY??? Cyprus isn't it? don't forget the o/p is in Middlesex in the UK and cannot receive what you can in the Med region

Can anybody post a link to the listings for MBC Europe on hotbird?

Thanks.

 

[NickCY]

I am aware that the o/p is in Middlesex Topper 2 I was simply just sharing info with the other members of this forum ;) There's no need to get your knickers in a knot my friend

You stand a fair chance of getting MBC in Harrow on a 90cm.
Look at post #16 in this thread.

Thanks all, despite my lack of knowledge I have managed to get one MBC on Hotbird. Its a shame that the Echostar I have is so fiddly to programme and do software upgrades with.
Once I am familiar with all the technical jargon and finding my way around the Sivercrest SL65 receiver I am sure things will be a lot easier.
I was listening to Radio Sawa from Iraq this morning before work, very interesting (sorry guys its in Arabic).

If there are others who read these threads and would like to know more about the jargon used, I found this informative site

I did a search on 11938 27500 and only found 10 channels; none FTA (taquilla 5,6,7.... to name a few). I'm in South East London (if that helps)

 

[Lancelot]

Seems like you are on 30 West !

what does that mean - can u explain;; i'm a newbie, also i cannot open that attachment

 

[Lancelot]

That frequency with those channels would indicate your dish is pointing at
Hispast at 30 degrees west and not Nilesat at 7 degrees west.

look again.

[g_o_dson]

OK what do i do? should i just do a search on 30w to see if the channel is thhere? I have a TM1500C+ receiver and all the satellite are listed - how do i update them?

 

[Lancelot]

Your dish is 23 degrees too far west.
You need to move it.


L.

 

[g_o_dson]

physically move it :-bash or via the motorised system?

 

[Lancelot]

The motor

[g_o_dson]

i just did it and moved it east and its searching for channels; looks promising

BTW is there a system/software/manual that can tell you if you should move it (and for how long) east or west when looking for a Transponder?

I find it difficult looking for channels cause i'm always guessing east or west

 

[g_o_dson]

Dam still cannot find it... i did another search and can now only find 11 channels: Eurosport, Filles TV, Tiji, Cusines TV, Ma Planete.... just to name a few

 

[g_o_dson]

someone please help!!!!
