Badr 7, 26e, is using the East Mena beam, and from the satellite beam map it looks like it might be a spot beam, for N W Africa:

Yes but i wonder if someone have tried to receive badr 7 in north europe and with what dish size. I have tried to receive badr 4 last year but with no luck. Currently i dont have a spectrum analyser or some other instrument so i have not tried to receive the new badr 7 MBC transmissions yet. I will try soon but i dont think it is possible with my 120cm dish.

Well, we've a few notable Members from Scandinavia, so maybe one or more of them will pop-up in due course and give you real-life reports.

Check the channels you should be able to get, on 26E, like 11996 H 27500, on Badr 4, then try a few others:

You may get most of these Badr 4 at 26.0°E - LyngSat
Badr-5,6 & 7 all have a very tight footprint no signals here with a 100cm dish,

I only get Badr-4 & when it retires 26 east will be lost altogether here in the East of England as I have no plans for a larger dish.

Thats might be good news. We almost live at the same lat lon so if theory holds i should have about 8db S/N on 11270V. I must try today.

Thank you for the report

I have about 4 dB C/N on the strongest UK beam transponder on Astra 2G. Im about to buy a 1.8m CM but i think a 2.4m is the minimum to be able to receive the UK beam. What C/N do you have on 28.2 UK?

Nothing on Badr 4 with my old 120cm dish. I will try with my fibo 120 today.

im getting all europe beam channels on 2G and 2E. 2E is 9-10 dB C/N and 2G 14-17 dB. No 2F at all. 2F euro is actually weaker than 2G UK.

You are probably getting the Europe KU beam channels:

There are some good channels, still available, on that beam, including Talking Pictures TV:

I am able to receive badr 7 11270V. 9 dB C/N and just finetuned with my dreambox 800 hd. I must admit it is a surprise because i can not receive anything on badr4 mena beam.

Have re-scanned position 26*E , got reception from 21 transponder (Badr4&7), more than 200 services. Took one screenshot per transponder. Some channels have pretty good bitrate, on many channels lots of Ramadan speaking :rolleyes:
Will post screenshots in batches (10+10+1)
