No, there is no signal registered from the transponder, so none of the channels are present. I have an alternative source checking the signal for me, just in case it is my setup, but somehow I doubt it is.

See my comments about the receiver in __http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/fringe-reception-general/177451-abu-dhabi-sport-uk-35.html#post1000001

I have purchased my receiver with card and a one year subscription - $320 It is definitely a seperate card, normal credit card size. I am very impressed so far, easy to set up, quickly authorised. Channel changing is fast, unlike the Technosat box that I tried for the MBC bouquet. Pity there...

Mohamed Nilesat has more channels to choose from. Both should be the same quality. Access to both birds is good, if one bird or transponder is down where there is a good game on. I doubt you will manage all three birds from one dish, as the locations are quite widely spaced. Here in Lebanon I...

What are your expereinces with the Humax receiver? Will the card work in a Dreambox 800HD?

1. I too am looking at receiver options as the Humax does not seem to get good reviews. 2. The cable option will probably be more stable, in bad weather conditions. 3. I want to have Nilesat, Hotbird and Arabsat on 1 dish which is easily possible in Jeddah, I am not sure you will manage all...

Where to find F1 this season in the Middle East. Will Abu Dhabi Sport still be covering it this year? Is there any way to get an English commentary? HD version????????? I know they have an HD service for the football, but all the info is in Arabic...............

Thanks. tsMuxer did the job nicely, giving me an .mpa file that was then read by Audacity for trimming.

It is a .ts file from my Dreambox, but has no video component as it is a satellite radio broadcast - BBC World Service VideoReDo rejects it due to the lack of video.......... which is a shame as it is a really nice piece of sw for video trimming Audacity thinks it is MP3 and will import it...

VideoReDo works well if there is a video stream I want to edit a file from the Radio side. Any ideas Thanks

Thanks that probably explains it.

No, but should still show transponders with HD signals, even though I cannot view them!! Autoupdate is on for all satellites.

I am looking at the list of channels found by my Dreambox. Will check again. TQ

I still can't work out which transponder to look at on BADR 26E. All I can see on the list is the SD channels.

At present there are 3 Abudhabi Sport channels 1,2,3 on badr 4/6 at 26E, all are FTA at present. I wonder if the move to encryption will mean that we will get the English commenatry on F1 Motor Racing? At present both the audio options English and Arabic carry the Arabic commentary.
