[Captain Jack]

Very different on Satbeams though:

Hi Brian..................yes a scan in September 2015 still showed it as using the SR 0f 30000......do not know exactly when it changed to 27500.

Hope life is good for you. View attachment 97488

LG!

Not sure why the STB didn't update, think it should have without intervention , but it's an Enigma to me!

There are 3 beams on Badr-4
The MBC beam in my post #20

This beam for BSS band excluding MBC 11919 H 27500

& this beam for FSS band


It makes more sense about Astra 2F as I am near the center of this footprint is probably why 12149 H from 26 east does not come through here anymore.

Badr-7 footprint

 

[Captain Jack]

Got it - it's all very confusing! Must be my old(er) age...

 

[Lazarus]

What! You're positively Embryonic compared to most of us, CJ.

Strange for sure as the channels were there. Coming in below lock at around 27%SQ. Other transponders if anything today seem stronger. With 11919H up around 80% and 11938V too.

This is the MBC official footprint for Badr-4

As we know reception is possible well outside this.

Ah the famous virtual MBC footprint. Complete bollox as I used to be able to get it on an 80cm dish easily as strong as the other frequencies

Wrong county I´m afraid, anything with a M, B , or C you won´t get it.
In Eartford , Erriford or Ampshire ( bugger it don´t work in Ampshire ) elsewhere though it is not a problem.

A very true statement the MBC footprint is a red herring the only problem with 26 east is the new generation of satellites Badr-5/6/7,
Dam those computer generated transponder feed horns that create the new tight footprints

I'm getting 15.4 dB on the 1.2 m now. Until I checked , due to this thread , I had nothing! The Xtrend had it as 30000 not 27500

Just found this on the forum, sound familiar?

Reception of Badr4 (26E)

 

[nelson_b]

Locking 12149 H 27500 here at the moment (20 miles east of Lancaster) on 1.2 channel master into F15 very occasional slight breakup --- thick cloud cover and raining slightly

 

[william-1]

MBC still ok here.

I like the Dark Knight rises, time to swing the dish from 12.5W !

 

[nelson_b]

MBC still ok here.

No M B or C in North Yorkshire, as predicted ;)

hoi,

asked my contact from Dubai Media City & Ras al-Khaimah, UAE. to a explanation
no reply received to this moment
Perhaps they are waiting, until 13 September to the end of the IBC
maybe they are use the badr 4 transponder in the arabsat stand on the IBC

 

[MCelliotG]

11919 is lower now on my system, I had it with about 13.5db and now it's at 9.7db!
Edit: I see all signals are lower so perhaps it's a problem from me!
