BeIN Mena moving from Nilesat to Eutelsat

BeIN MENA is moving its channels capacity from Nilesat 7 West over to Eutelsat 8 degrees West.

“Starting from December 15 until December 31, beIN subscribers can watch content on all the available frequencies. After the 31st of December, subscribers will need to ensure their set top boxes are reconfigured to avoid any interruptions,” the broadcaster said in a statement to its subscribers.

The majority of BeIN set top boxes will be reconfigured automatically. Users with other set top boxes may have to reinstall the channels on their new frequencies.

“The switch of satellites provides an increase in platform security and control, and improved resilience overall. These efforts were made to ensure the BeIN Media Group can continue to provide its viewers and fans with its unrivalled library of entertainment, live sport action and major international events in the highest standards available across all its platforms,” the statement added.

This does NOT affect BeIN channels on Es´hail at 25.5 east

New beIN Sports frequencies from 1st January 2019 for Eutelsat 8 degrees West.
