| Here is south wales you need a 1.2m for the vertical transponders (mbc) and a 1.8m for horizontal transponders due to the horizontals being 2db weaker, What 1.6 do you have

My System: pentium 4 3.06ghz with ht, 1 gb ram, ss2, 1.15m motor dish, strong srtv50 | is mbc europe on hotbird called "MBC Maghreb Al-Arabia" cause there is no other mbc on hotbird, if so can anyone say what&when of english sitcoms is on? as for mbc2,4- just opened Badr for the first time today, and I got my dish for like a week now, and have to say it's one of those things that make satellite 'enthusiasm' worth it. my Reccomended english series channels are now SF2 and mcb4. by the way on mbc channels I get a 30% something signal, which I'm content with on account of my location. Where I'm at I have 1, yes 1 channel where signal strength is >90%, it's some geiorian one. And I have 1.15m dish. | ||

1. first of get a "strongest transponders list" which is in the dish installation forum, 2.next choose a satellite, 3.set your reciever to scan for the strongest transponder for that satellite, 4.move your dish to the closest known satellite to the one you are trying to find, 5.slowly move your dish in the direction of the satellite you are searching 6. IF you find it, and that's a big IF, get the best signal possible 7. write down the rotation of the dish -with a motor it's easy, 8. do a full scan how that helped. by the way I just wrote that didn't copy&paste  | |||

Hi Everybody, Just wanted to post a question and hope someone might have experienced this or know what is going on. I am living in Cyprus im English, I have the following Equipment: 1 m Dish 0.3 db LNB Diseqc Motor Dreambox DM600 im trying to pickup Showtime on Nilesat 7w. When i do a transponder scan i do not pick up these transponders, yet im getting 89% signal on the satellite and locked, i seem to get most of the other transponders infact i get over 1100 channels but can never bring in the showtime channels. The motor works fine, i get hotbird 13E, Eutlesat 7E all fine. with great signal. This is very strange i know most of the Showtime channels are on vertical transponders. Everyone Else seems to be picking up showtime in cyprus with a 85cm dish but i cant. Please help. Thanks  | ||

| MBC is easy to get on Nilesat from the south of Spain, the subtitles are allways on-screen but as it is just a set of squiggles and loops it does not command you to try and decipher it. Great set of channels with American based progs. As you were! | ||
