hi all, what's the difference between badr 4, 5 and 6? even though the dish is aligned towards 26.0, I.can't receive any of badr 5 or 6 transponders.. is it because thy don't cover the UK?

I had some time this weekend and was able to improve received signal. Now signal quality is between 50% to 70% for all transponders, and was able to receive 151 Arabic channels. I noticed that properly setting the skew angle significantly improved reception by 10%-20% direction of the dish...

I know that skew is about rotating the lnb clockwise or counter clockwise. But this is the question, 19 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise? I also think I have got the wrong lnb.. It says: 0.3 db, "specially designed for Astra" It is raining outside, I will get pictures later

Skew was actually my next question.. Fr badr4, I think it should be 19degrees, but how do you set that up?

Hi I had partial success. Tuning to 12182h 16200 I got 90% strength and 60% quality and I got Yemen channels. However, not all transponders were received, I was only able to receive 12182h 60% 11921h 30% 12524h 50% 12683v 40% 11919h 30% And these are all. Just want to add that I think the...

the funny thing is, I looked up the channels i received (Noord, Ooost..etc) they are on Astra 3B transponder 11914H. But i tuned the receiver to 11919H, how can that be?

hi, on the current direction, I'm indeed getting on tp 11919 27500 tv oost and tv noord searching the transponder gets: omrop fryslan tel tv noord tv drenthe tv oost tv tv gelderland omroep zeeland (just 6 channel, though the signal strength is 90% and quality is 74% Can you suggest a better...

Hi, I tried to direct the dish as best as i could, i used http://dishpointer.com/ to find the angel to magnetic pol and elevation angel. I used Android app (satellite directory) to aid in position the dish, I also paid attention to the scale carved on the back dish arm (which tells the...

Hi, I live in London, and I still can't get Badr 4. 1. I got a cheap (but new) receiver from Jordan (dead cheap prices there). I noticed that it has Badr 2/3/4, when I think it should be Badr 3/4/5. The receiver also is missing a lot of transponders. I am talking about transponders found on...
