[QUOTE="Clev, post: 787441, member: 384770"] Greetings, my first on this forum, looking to clarify a few issues and gain some assistance if possible. I'm posting in this thread because i require clarification with regards to this specific satellite but please bear in mind i'm not too clued up so require patience and detailed explanations.Greetings, I live in Northern Tanzania and currently have two satellite dishes. The main one is a 3.65m KTI dish, with a Eurostar KU band LNB connected to 2 Humax MPEG4 HD receivers, one for the sitting room and another for the bedroom. This dish has been set to approximately 7.0 degrees west (although i am not entirely sure it is at exactly 7.0 degrees west seeing as it was the technicians who fixed the position).Anyways i use the following site and input the frequencies manually, along with the symbol rate etc. _http://www.lyngsat.com/nile.html The issue which arises now is that from that website, almost all the channels within the MENA beam i get a strong signal except for the MENA beams near the bottom of the page (specifically starting at frequency 12341) where the signal can be as low as 35% i.e. you pretty much can't watch anything with the stuttering.With regards to the middle east beams i can't get any of them to work except for one, the frequency at 11785 where i can access to Dubai One, Music plus etc.Because of this situation, i have had to fix another satellite dish, a C band LNB 2.4m dish simply to access Abu Dhabi Al Oula and a few others like Ethiopia, this is frustrating to no end, simply because i don't like fixing a satellite for the purpose of one channel.1) Ideally i would like to be able to access Abu Dhabi Al Oula, Abu Dhabi Poet and all the other non-sports related Abu Dhabi channels and the middle east beam on my 3.65m dish, leaving the 2.4m dish to be readjusted for access to local East African channels. 2) Additionally i would like to strengthen the signals for Al-Jazeera Sports, Abu Dhabi Sports, and Dubai One, Music Plus et al where the signal is very watchable but still fluctuates from 45-55% and worries me if a rainstorm were to occur.For the above two to happen what is needed to achieve this?
