Company MBC (Middle East Broadcasting Center) began to inform their viewers, the broadcast all of its channels from the MBC Group will be on satellite Badr 4 closed and moved to a later satellite, Badr 5 and 7, which are located at position 26 ° E. With the change of satellite coverage changes significantly-especially towards Europe.

While satellite Badr 4 had major coverage of the route to the North Africa and the Middle East with secondary coverage of Europe, the newer satellites Badr 5 and 7 are transmitting antennas directed at the area of the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa). Direction to Europe significantly decreases signal and reception of signals from satellites is from some of the more recent volumes in the Ku-band with parabolic curves of large sizes (at least 200 to 250 cm), while for the signals from the satellite Badr 4 since the satellite dish from a diameter of 90 cm, depending on the performance of the transponder and the parameters of the multiplex.

January 2017 will end programs on the old frequency and advised them of the same set-top box as soon as possible.

MBC group programs remain the in SD resolution in the MENA region continues to be free ( FTA), while in Europe they have candidates, signal stations to pay fees depending on the programming package.

Unfortunately, no alternative free satellite signal stations, MBC is not available in Europe with parabolic curves of small dimensions. The original distribution of MBC to the position of programs 7 ° W was after their satellites Nilesat 101 and 102, which were relatively well accessible by us, moved to the newer satellite Nilesat 201 with significantly limited coverage towards Europe.

Shame the MBC services on Nilesat 201 11938V 27500 could not be changed to Eutelsat 7West. MBC recently vacated a transponder on Eutelsat. At least this would keep the services available in Europe. Although weaker ..

They dont want to be available in Europe - 11919H on Badr 4 has been listed as being on a fictional "MBC beam" for years to appease rights holders.
 
For northern Europe 7WA is an easier catch, contrary to southern east Europe. I have 10.2db on Nilesat 201 on MBC's frequency, but I guess for the first time I was lucky that I can receiver 11270 from 26E with 12db, so I won't lose MBC for good. Now, if only we knew whatever happened to the T2-MI package that was reported to appear for a couple of days on 26E some time ago....
 
Strong signal from here
MBC Package - 11270 Ver (2.1m)
26E - 11270 Ver (MBC Package ) with 2.1m & clear sky.webp
 
Interesting to see that 11919 Horizontal 27500 the MBC transponder has a channel MBC TEST 3. Encrypted in BISS. This (currently) is showing MBC 2. However no ticker at the bottom about moving transponder... It does have EPG info .... Not sure if this may mean anything going forward???
 
MBC on 11823 H from Yahsat-1A at 52.5E is fta. The signal is a little stronger in the evenings on East spot in my area.

I receive MBC from Nilesat at 10.4db,
from Badr 7 @ 15.8db !!!
and from Yahsat @ 6.5db, signal is flanctuating but surprisingly 24/7.
We are talking of course about the SD package, still no luck with the PLS code on the Badr4 MIS package.
