[QUOTE="pocster2, post: 107472, member: 181979"] I am in the northwest of england and tried Nilesat on a 1.6m dish. Only got the transponder with the educational channels and nothing else. Even then reception was poor with lots of blocking and breakup of the picture. I now have a 2.4m dish and receive all vertical transponders, only two transponders give a slight problem early afternoons, the rest are rock solid 24hours a day. I will be upgrading the lnb soon to improve those. I had a spectrum analyser on the dish last week and can tell you that the nilesat horizontal channels are non existant. They are so well down on the verticals that it isnt worth trying to think about getting them on this side of the uk. I had a brief look at arabsat, but only to the extent of finding it in the sky. I doubt that there will be much to receive other than 3A. I think arabsat C-band would be a better bet than the Ku-band. [/QUOTE]
