Hi All,


MBC channels are moving to TP 11559, V, FEC 5/6, SR 27500 on Eutelsat, 7 West. No problem you think just do a manual search for that TP and add the new channels. But here is my problem I get 100% Signal Strength and Quality on FEC 3/4 only? when I change to FEC 5/6 on TP 11559 I receive nothing at all.


Can some of you Gurus out there please help or advise, I also pick up channels on FEC 3/4 but none on any of the other FEC settings.


I am British but live in Cyprus, MBC channels are the main English speaking Movie Channels.


Many thanks in advance.

Maybe you should try 11471V SR 27500 fec5/6 instead
 
11559V is the North West Africa beam - Cyprus is well out of area for that beam - it covers the bulge of Africa.

Many thanks Ocean04, worked great. Have MBC Action, MBC Max and MBC 2 back again the main film channels. How did you know about TP 1147?

Greatly appreciated.

Hi Analoguesat, thanks for the reply but Ocean04 resolved my problem with TP 11471, V, 27500, FEC 5/6. I should still get TP 11559 as Cyprus is within (MENA) footprint Ku-band Middle East and North Africa beam on a 100 Cm dish which I have.

Many thanks for your help.

No you cant get the North (west) Africa beam - check the differences
