i have Triax 90 cm....and i receive quite a good signal of badr 3/4 i heard that the Ku-band of badr 6 is not covering europe...only north africa and the middle east...unlike the C-band which will have a good reception in europe...so i wondered if i could receive them also with my same digital receiver and dish....  thanks for your reply | ||

(see NEWS & PRESS links) at top. Mostly new HD TV / data & telephony MBC2 HD anyone..?  full spec = http://link.arabsat.com/pr/PDF/BADR6TUG.PDF | ||

Arabsat's site has a news flash that the existing digi C Band is all moving to 30.5e as an FTA package on 080808 (nice date)... arr, and shows you how to modify a linear C band LNBf to circular polarization! bless em. need a much bigger dish... like 7w H's ....hhmmmm......1.8...2.4...3m..  Maybe this BADR6 thing will not be too good for UK.. already we have bad test signals on KU for UK.... then there is out of order BADR5 to come.... OH b#gger.. | ||
