Default nilesat

Hello

I would appreciate if someone could confirm I have researched the correct info please.

MBC 2 channel has some decent english movies/programmes and is transmitted from Nilesat but the satelite is very difficult to pick up over england...
Any other satelite that transmits MBC 2

Also does anyone know about the BBC freesat service supposely starting next year. I wonder which satelite they will use !
Thanks

Hi,

When I was out in Iran in the summer, I was watching a lot of the MBC channels. You are right, they show a lot of decent English language movies/TV programmes.

I was hoping to be able to pick the MBC channels up too when I set my system up this weekend. For some reason I thought they were broadcasted on Hotbird?

Let me know if you find them elsewhere.
Cheers,

Mike

I think they could also be on Arabsat as well.
Basically I am try to find out if there are any decent no subscription channels available in the UK before I splash out on a big dish, multi lnb etc etc.

BBC Freesat wil use 28.2E and 28.5E for the epg.

You can receive all of the channels already with an old sky box plus ftv card, or most of them with a FTA receiver.

Free To Air Satellite TV ¦ FTA

FlySat United Kingdom TV Channels

MBC 2 is also on 26E according to kingofsat:-
Search Results for - KingOfSat

but we are waaaay off the footprint in the UK.
