[ekon]

Getting the Badr3 bird ok on 26E... but need Eurobird 2 for freq 11642 (mbc2,3,4 )..1.2 metre dish/single Invacom 0.3.. but search on this transponder says no signal!

Anyone getting this frequency/channels? ..if so what kit r u using? Thanks

:) All frequencies on this bird are 'Middle East' designated, ie, footprint = 12044

Details here: _http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/255e_popd.html

Even here in Spain a 3m dish sometimes locks on, but in the UK, do not think so.

I have MBC 1,2,3,4 ACTION, INT all on a Triax TD110 and an MTI o.2db blueline LNB, signal level on my technomate tm500 above 80% day and night.

BTW I am in the west of Ireland

forgot to mention they are on 11919h 27500

[007.4]

@Ekon
I agree with Skilcom. MBC 1,2,3 & 4 are on Badr 4/6, 26e 11919H, 275000, 3/4

According to Lyng sat. 11642 does not exist on Eurobird 2 at 25.5e and as Dishdad has said, most of Western Europe is outside the footprint anyway.
