Just thought iŽd add these because the may be of interest and are very good. MBC2 is a movie channel on Nilesat, and shows very good FTA movies, such as The Ring, The Core, Final destination, Face off, and loads others i can remember off the top of my head. Scheduals can be found for this channel on www.2onthenet.com. Also MBC4 shows all american content. You can wake up to a news feed from ABC news every morning, and watch shows like 24, tru calling, Nanny911, Friends, Malcome in the middle, crossing Jordan, Alias and again loads others i cant remember. That website you can get to off www.MBC.com. Enjoy. | ||

I need to look for a better LNB I think for my 1 metre dish. ISTR reading here about a Physics-defying 0.2 dB LNB? :-) but I can't remember where I saw it. Any recommendations folks at a lowish price please? I've just sent someone to your site - very handy thanks. Oh, when I looked at MBC about 9 months ago I think the subtitles were burned in to the movies. Is that still the case? thanks, john | |||

Yeah the MBC channels are awesome Most of the stuff I watch is on these channels. They've got great movies, A LOT of American comedies and series and reality shows. In general Nilesat has many great channels to choose from. One TV is also very good, Alrai, Dream TV, Saudi 2, and sometimes Oman has some good comedies and movies | ||
