Badr-2,3,4/eurobird 2 (26.0e)

[afshino]

hi guys all my friends can get all the channels on eurobird 2 with 80cm dish

but i cant get any ,
when i move the dish to 26E i only get all channels from astra 28.5E any idea?

80 cm dish is to small for Arabsat you need at least a good 90cm dish, 100cm Orbital works best

Afshino, are you in the same area as your friends? If so, the same size dish should be OK, but dishes vary, some makes aren't as good as others at rejecting signals from nearby satellites, also if your dish is distorted even a small amount, you've not much hope. Also worth changing the LNB to see whether it helps - can you do a temporary swap with one of your friends?

You have obviously not aimed the dish correctly if you pick up channels from 28.2E (quite common when tuning 26E, it can be a little tricky to take aim at, try again!...go slow).

when you say your friend have all the channel on eurobird2, you mean you can have channel of badr3 and 4 on on euobird2?
because i want MBC channel and i am living in switzerland. MBC are on eurobird2? badr 3 and 4 are difficult to receive here. what is euobird2 position? 26E?

26e is the orbital position you need for mbc here in the uk .90 to 1.2m is used for this sat there are 6 channels five fta one biss encoded
