My System: Satellite Dish 1.6m Hotbird 13E, DreamBox 7000S with Gemini 4.5.0; Dish 1.2m Amos 4W, Nokia 9600S; Nokia 9800S; Hauppauge Nexus-S PCI Card  He battled for 3 days against the Tux and won! Hurray!! |
So what is the size of your dish? There are two ART packages Art Al Awayel on Nilesat 7W with channel encryption Irdeto See this link ART Al Awael Package on Nilesat 7W You will need a large dish for Nilesat. and ART Arabesque on Hot Bird 13E with channel encryption Viaccess. The dish can be a lot smaller. Presumably the dish that you have can receive them. The channels might be different. So check the channels list before you subscribe. The sports are on Nilesat. As for Aljazeera, there are several FTA and encrypted. Which ones are you after? Perhaps JSC on Hot Bird 13E? Are you sure that there are Aljazeera channels on Nilesat? Just checked Lyngsat and I can't see any. | |||

Al Jazeera English- 10015V That's all I can find, I get them both with 110 Triax if it's not raining (North Kent) The Art channels on 7W are on the horizontal transponders, and I can't get most of them. Robbo

My System: Channel Master 1.2m and 1.8m, Vantage VT-X221TS CI and 8000s, Technomate V-Box II, 18" Superjack actuator | My 1.2 channel master with matched feedhorn will get verticals in all weather and anytime of the day so that's the Al Jazeera channels. I can see some horizontals when the skies are clear during the day, nearer midnight I can see all horizontals. The ART sport transponder is one of the weakest. 1.8m should get horizontals in all weather at any time of the day. I should also note that back in December the horizontals were much lower than now. The signal should be stronger moving towards June and gets weaker after until December. As mentioned before, if its ART and Al Jazeera sports you are after then Hotbird is a good option and there is one free Al Jazeera sport channel on Badr. | ||
