Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed if there's been an increase in signal strength on some TPs from Badr4?
I've tried scanning 26E to see if I could pick up any of the MBC channels quite on a few times before and, I've never had any luck. I 'd given up, thinking it wasn't possible with my setup at this location (55N / 8W). I couldn't lock on to 11919H at all.
After a recent sweep scan of all sats, I've just noticed I'm now picking up most if not all MBC channels.. Nice to see they are sending a few days worth of EPG data too
The TPs were scanned in at around 3-4pm a few days ago, and the quility is still perfectly watchable now (at 2am).
Question 2: Apart from a boost in the signal/footprint from the satellite being ramped up, what other environmental factors might be effecting the signal strength? The weather is no better than when I did some of the earlier scans.
I've attached a document showing what I am receiving from 26E for anyone interested. (Just remove the .txt extension to get it to open in Excel)
