Hi White Monk

I think that map is rather pessimistic - I can lock the MBC multiplex more often that not (always in good weather though.)

I'm using an 88cms motorised dish right on the Sussex coast. Given that it was a self-install and I'm hopeless at DIY, it's probably not installed to absolute perfection either!

There's some good stuff in English on 26E, as mentioned previously.

FTA 'til the 19th of June.

No problem - only breaks up in very bad weather. In north London you should get it no bother with a 1 metre dish if I can get it up here. The lyngsat map is wrong. However I can't get a sniff of BADR 6 up here but 4 and 3 come in no bother.

MBC's are really full of tosh really, if it wasnt for Jeopardy I'd never view them.

Dubai One used to be decent at one time...

Movies are old and the wrong aspect ratio, rather pay 3 quid to buy the actual movie.

I can understand the sport aspect though, but 28.2/28.5e is the best of the lot for good free tv.

Not sure if I have ever read a reception report of Badr 6..

Hello HD on EuroBird 9A, 9°East FTA enjoy while it lasts

Only for HD receivers
Thanks to Bobby

Is this the actually ident? I have "Nickeloden Europe" & the Nick thats part of Sky Itaila but both are encrypted?!

I wasn't making a comparison with 28e which I take for granted as being the best as it is for us in the UK. I was thinking of the other satellites.

I don't agree that it is a lot of tosh - there is certainly some tosh - that I grant you but there is a lot of rubbish all over. MBC Persia is particularly good.

It is perhaps too American orientated but on the whole for free to air TV in English I think this is the best satellite apart from 28e. Maybe Nilesat is better but no chance of getting that up here.

Nilesat is about the same really, better for paytv though.

That is the only real bonus with MBC, is MBC4 and it taking US news and the early morning shows.

It was already known that it was just for this weekend, as officiallly stated by provider.


Ident is "Nick Polska", on frequency 11471 V 27500 5/6.

is this Nickelodeon part of CYFRA+?

I think it's part of a new Polish package in Conax called TNK

Its part of the N package.

I was going to post you a clip but it got blocked by Viacom.

seems its moved to 11.117 - see this post http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...9#post32769669

New and temporary parameters for 11471 V are:
SR 13298
FEC 5/6

MTV Russia
Express AM1, 40° East
11599 V 4340 3/4

Nice strong here, I guess the +0 means its Moscow time zone?

Cheers

MTV Europe is testing on 5W

10973V SR9000 3/4

Labeled as OiV Test

It's not actually MTV Europe that's on 5w, its some new MTV in an Eastern or Baltic European language I don't recognise.

It's uplinked from Zagreb in Croatia that's for sure.

That's neither MTV European (MTV Europe doesn't exist anymore, since 2002), nor a new MTV. And not even MTV Albania, as some forums suggested.

That's MTV Adria, launched in 2005 for countries of the former Yugoslavia.
They are simply moving from Ljubljana (capital of Slovenia) to Zagreb (capital of Croatia), where the new technical department will be located, so they are just testing from the new uplink station before full relaunch from Zagreb, which should occur by the end of the month.

Whole load of stuff fta on 5E 12264H

Includes several Discovery channels TCM Boomerang etc etc

also 12340 H 27500

And 12149H - whole AKTA package!
