Can I receive channels from Eurobird1 satellite, particularly the Wrestling channel and the Horror channel.
 
No chance. Shes broadcasting tight beams towards north western Europe.
 
Thanks for the reply. But there must be some solution to this, maybe a bigger dish size, etc., please suggest
 
Look heres the official footprint for the beam those 2 services are transmitting on:

that outer band is the 38db power line. We are barely into Turkey and you are already needing a 1.5m dish

Now whilstfootprint maps are at best a guide to likely reception. I reckon the UAE is just too far out of area to be received on any sensible sized hobby. dish.

Ive never heard of any successfukl reception of EB1 in the UAE, so forget it. If you want to watch them either see if you can find a web fed or move to north western europe.....
