thats great to know ... maybe one day i might be able to get a glimpse of these channels here in London ...i have 1.3m dish....

lol! but i guess MCA need to look at their beam a bit further - including noting that there is a demand for the africa beam elsewhere in the world....this century onwards it is time for integration not isolation of sat systems...

i get 63% SNR but doesnt show anything for eagle box....too weak...awww...with a 1.3m dish

no luck here with 1.3m dish for the Africa beam

i agree...more and precise info is vital....especially when one is doing this as a hobby as i am and therefore wanting to get as many channels from all possible positions with my dish as possible :) Lewishamse

Hi Topper...just seen your response...thanks and Happy New Year! :) Mine is a motorised dish. Best wishes Lewishamse

we know that now MCA Africa beam is focused on Africa ... But our point is - why has MCA 'diverted' Africa away from the rest of the world? surely there are many people in Europe etc who would benefit from the beam...sub-saharan Africa shouldnt 'forget' that there is market for it (Africa) in...

lucky you! I think the Africa beam effectively cuts off sub-saharan Africa from Europe and the world! not sure who benefits from all this! Lewisham

Hi Cocker80, Can u still receive programmes from these frequencies now? am 51N, 0West Best wishes Lewishamse

any success Powel000?

u r right - depends on competency of those who are doing it...I hope someone points them out to this discussion and rise to the chalenge of 'getting it right'! Best wishes Lewishamse

i would need my own garden to have those dishes installed :(

yes, more stornger on west needed...and would be great if 45W would have channels from USA, Latin America, and Africa even!

i have also wondered why multichoice is happy to not have a Europe beam or 'Eurafrica' beam on 36E while it is needed in Europe! RTNC, TBC1, NTV Kenya, Zimbo, etc - they are all needed in Europe, unscrambled! Euroafrica beam will bring investment, tourism, keep their citizens/and others abroad...

But then Eutelsat have taken off the African channels from the Europe Beam - couldnt they have 'EurAfrica' same as 'Eurasia' beam?? Eurafrica beam would definitely have investors, tourists, etc wanting to continue having these broadcasted over Europe - i know I am...I am already missing TPA...
