So much for new sats at 7W making the location dark for UK users... seems like we get more channels from there now than ever before.

i did see a screen on aljazeera sport that they are moving to nilesat 201, this must be harder to receive i guess but why let ab 7 be receivable in europe unless they can alter the beam ?

Never had a problem out here in Spain with 7w on my 1mt Dish. I am able to see everything worth watching.
Atlantic Bird 4 was my only problem could not receive anything.
Well pleased, now with Atlantic Bird 7, pulling in all the transponders with a good signal.
More FTA movie channels available, that will do for me.

No , Eutelsat has changed its plans for AB 4A , It will be redeployed to 3ْ east and renamed to Eutelsat 3C along with Eutelsat 3A , and the bird now is at 1.85ْ west and moving on heading to its new destination .

By the way , poor reception from AB 7 here in Iraq , similar reports from Iran , Turkey , Syria , Lebanon , Palestine .

AB 4A was much better regarding the signal strength .

AB4A is off air - all carriers have been transferred to AB7.

AB4A is moving east:

I am thinking about swapping my 90cm dish to 1.2m to have a proper look on ab7.

Is it worth the bother ?
