MBC4
In response to the launch and success of One TV, the guys at MBC have redefined their Channel 2 as the first free 24h/24 movie channel and launched MBC4 to group a bunch of imported sitcoms, soap operas, talk shows and news shows.
By doing this they’ve made both channels more interesting to watch. And aside One TV they’ve made leaving the couch in front of the TV a harder task to accomplish.
I especially enjoy the variety of sitcoms available now.
And it’s nice when I catch a movie here or there that I haven’t watched already or that I feel like seeing again.

I know exactly how you feel. The problem is that we don’t have enough time to watch all of these good shows:) We are now thinking seriously of canceling our Orbit subscription as after the launch of these channels, having a satellite subscription is useless as we don’t get anything special from it.
MMM on Feb 11, 2005 | Reply
Yeah I know what you mean.
These channels are really going to annoy Orbit, Showtime and the other satellite subscription companies as their offers become less and less relevant.
These new channels are offering more and more for free, from movies to sitcoms to soap operas and reality tv (One TV, Channel 2, MBC4, Rotana Cinema) to cartoons (MBC3, Space Toon) to music (endless list of channels).
I think more and more people will start thinking like you and moving away from these bouquets.
Roba on Feb 11, 2005 | Reply
Yeah, I strongly agree with Natasha. We also have Orbit but the only thing we ever watch on Orbit is ESPN, other than that, it’s always 2 or 4 due to the fact that they only get Great stuff. Like the movies, yeah, sure, some of them are very old, but they’re all so good I’m willing to watch them a million times… Orbit, on the other hand, gets all these really crap new movies that I can’t even watch once…
I’m really impressed with the way MBC is handling things.

hors sujet: Where is the “movie roundup”
It’s only available on the rundom page. Is it still not the time to write about the new movies you’ve seen or are they not worth to talk about?
MMM on Feb 11, 2005 | Reply
oops, lol…
I started writing that and only saved it as a draft. I still need to finish it up.
It seems the rundom home page is showing entries even when they’re still drafts, lol.
Anyway, I’ll finish it up and post it in a while

JABARI on Feb 28, 2005 | Reply
This is to Omar mahoud,MMM and all others who seem to be confused about getting the MBC4.Its very simple.As long as you can scan or rather search for channels with your decoder.All you need do is go to your MENU==>INSTALLATION==>then you’ll scan to search for new channels.NOTE:You might also need to change the frequency so as to get access to other channels.If you do this well you ‘ll end up having far over 200 channels
Jabari Washington on Feb 28, 2005 | Reply
Omar least i forget.Mbc has always being on Analog satelite.If you need to Know i reside in Dakar sengal and I use an Analog Arabsat.All you need do is try scaning for new channels at least every month.The more you scan the more you get new channels.Isn’t that wonderfull.A friend once told me he scans everyday and he gets at least2 to 3 channels.The only problem is that we dont understand Arab.As you well Know most channels are Arab Owned.

I am constantly glued to my TV all the time especially for Dubai One. Unfortunately, since other channels like MBC2, MBC4 and Dubai Sports dissapeared from the ANALOGUE receiption, the entertainment has been put on hold ’cause they are not available on DIGITAL. Kindly e-mail me the parameters for receiving these chanels on.

I Live in Mogadishu, Somalia, I wached 120-channels from Badr-4, but Installation cost 20$, no matter its wonderfully channels…
The EIRP in Somalia (Mogadishu) is 36 dBw. This leads us to the result that they should use 2.4 m antenna for clear sky, and 3m antenna with rain margin to receive ARABSAT bouquets on ARABSAT BADR-4 ..
Thanks for Arabsat members…

DUBAI ONE CHANNEL,
Hello, Am Sam From Nairobi. I have a 6Ft dish and a FTA DBVB Decoder. I receive all channels on Arabsat at 26.2 Degrees East, but the Frequency that carries Dubai One never comes through. The most frustrating thing is that whenever i walk in the Arab shops their TV sets are always showing Dubai One. I wonder how they are getting it.
From what i know about TV signals, whatever that can be received in Addis Ababa, Mogadishu, Kampala, Burundi and the whole of East and Central Africa can also be receioved in Nairobi. I am therefore asking for help from all my brothers and sisters who live around Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan etc.
I would also like to know how to receive MBC2-4, because the one i have is all Arabic.
What i like most on this satellite is Al Jazeera Sports, Dubai Sports and Riyadhia channels because they bring sports that i can only get on DSTV after paying $65!
Since my dish is on the ground, as opposed to being on the roof, i am able to juggle satellites and receive over 100 channels, but the most important are CNN, TV5 Monde Afrique (Which showed the whole of Rugby World Cup), 2Maroc, TV Algerie, France 24, RTBF etc, just by adjusting my dish a little bit!
I am also asking if it is possible to get the KU band signals from Arabsat from Nairobi/Kenya?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
NOW I WILL TRY TO ANSWER THE QNS THAT I CAN:
TENDAI: Astra 2C’ signal is too weak to give a picture.
I also have a multichoice decoder and it is not possible to watch any other channels apart from what they offer, because their decoder is locked, and controlled remotely by DSTV through software updates.
DAVID: As I said, I have seen Dubai One in shops, so am now looking on how to receive it too, but i will never invite those technicians, because the one who installed for me for the 1st time just ate a lot of money from me, just to position the satellite dish!
Sam, Nairobi

hi all,
Can some one please send me the frequency to get mbc in nigeria using a ku band.
David on Oct 27, 2007 | Reply
This goes to Sam, you seem to be a very adventurous guy! I like that. Try the following. There is some hard piece of plastic inside the LBNF called Dielectric, remove it and the outer plastic cover. Take back the LBNF and try manual search on 4120 H 27500. If it doesnt work, get in touch with me on Kw.david@yahoo.co.uk. For the Ku on badr4, nilesat101 & 102, the whole of east africa is not covered by the footprint. I would like to know the satellite name, direction the dish faces, the elevation of the dish, and the frequencies on which you are recieving CNN, Tv Monde Africuqe and others. Please, Sam do get in touch. Nice time in Nairobi
Sam on Nov 7, 2007 | Reply
DAVID,
You are one nice guy. The name of the satellite is NSS7 at 22 Degrees West. You can view the transponders at http://www.lyngsat.com/nss7.html
Myself i have never done physics beyong form 4, but after playing with my dish, i now consider myself a “Technician.” I have so far fixed my neighbour’s GTV and DSTV dish, thus depriving technicians of a cool 10,000 shillings because they cahrge 5,000 per installation!
Now David, to get CNN for free, go to the page mentioned above, All satellites which are on the Eastern Beam can be received on the whole of African continent!
CNN Frequency is 3931L (Horizontal) and the Symbol rate is 25000. I hope you know how to key in these details on your decoder. If you are receiving BadrC already, you need not change your dish position.
Just stand near your dish, face your WEST and make sure there is no obstacle between your dish and the horizon. To get CNN, you must have that Dielectric plastic between the LNBF. Move the dish westwards towards the Horizon, CNN will be received almost when the Dish will be facing the horizon! It shall be facing somewhere just above the horizon.
CNN is the strongest signal on this satellite, therefore it does not mean you will receive other stations. For me to receive TV5 Monde Afrique, there is a trick i learned on the job! Make sure the signal quality of CNN is over 63%. (At this point you will need another dielectric so that you now have two of them)
Push the first plastic to go into the LNBF fully, then use the second one to even push it further, but the second one will enter with the wedge side ( Shorter side) facing outside)
So now you will have two plastics inserted in the LNBF makin a one continuous big dielectric!
You will notice that your CNN signal is extra powerful, about 70%. Therefore what you have done is to boost the signal.
Now you can enter Frequency 3650 and symbol rate 275000. You will instantly receive TV5 Monde!
NB, When setting up the above process, you need to take notice of either Horizontal or Vertical frequencies,
You also need to know that the plastic in the LNBF functions in a certain way and you need to place it correctly, this can be done thru trial and error, since the LNBF has slots that guide the plastic. So you can put it one way, then if it does not work you place it the other way.
After some time, the above process is as easy as ABCD!!!!
Now am even better than the technician who charged me 7,000!
DAVID,
after getting TV5, you can also adjust your LNBF by moving it abour anticlockwise (Slightly) to strengthen the signal. TV5 Monde Afrique’s signal is about 50% but from 39%, the picture is stable!
After doing that, then it means your decoder can get the signal from three satellites: NSS7, then move it uf a little and you will be on Atlantic Bird 3 at 7Degrees West, Then when it is almost facing the sky you will be receiving Badr C.
If you turn the dish east, then you will get all channels on Pas 10, then the Tanzanian and DRC channels, plus very many channels.
In act to get the EUEFA and SERIE A, BUNDESLIGA, ETC I never pay for that. I also do not pay DSTV even though they expet me to pay 5,000 per month just to access my favourite channel, CNN!!! Hu hu hu!
david,

If it’s true that you have passion for entertainment(soaps, drammas, movies etc), then your redundunt c band dish can have the answer to it all. There is a new Channel on Nss 7 from Ghana. It’s really good. You better try it out because its FTA. The details are:
Satellite:Nss 7 at 22 degrees west
frequency: 3742
Polarisation: L

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm,,, Long Tyme, David and all.
GTV came and left. I am still in Nairobi, and for all those people asking about MBC1-2 and Dubai One, From East Africa, actually Southern Sudan, you cannot be able to receive this channel all the way to South Africa, you camnnot receive any of these channels as their beams are targeted to the Middle East.
BADR 2c is now off air and I have not received their replacement.
But there are some good C-band channels out there, SABC123, ETV, French channels, etc, CNN.
In you are looking for movies, the new channel on NSS7 a subsidiary of Viacom broadcasting from Ghana is the way to go. You also get CNN here.
