Missing MBC channels on Nilesat at 7 West

[satandpcguy]

Today I have noticed that the MBC channels
MBC1, MBC2, MBC3, MBC4, MBC Action and MBC Max
on frequency 11938 27500 3/4 are not longer operating.

It may mean that they have moved to a new frequency.
This new frequency is being reported as being
12437 H 27500 2/3

However, this is no longer on the Nilesat satellites, but on Atlantic Bird, a new satellite in the same location.
Atlantic Bird has a different satellite footprint, and this means that these MBC channels are no longer available on 80cm satellite dishes in Spain.

Should you wish to continue to watch the MBC channels, then you will need to have a new dish pointing towards the Badr satelltes at 26 east, where ethe MBC channels on that satellite are available on an 80cm satellite dish in Spain.

If you live in our service area, you can contact us to have your Nilesat dish realigned to BAdr satellite so thay you can enjoy watching the MBC chanenls again.

Although some reports are that this move may be a temporary move.
According to the reports, some channels on Nilesat satellites have been subject to jamming, as a result of some of the recent issues in the Middle Easwt and North Africa. In a statement, MBC say that their channels will be on these temporary frequencies until the interferance on their origianl frequencies is stopped.

So, you may want to wait before getting another dish or having your current Nilesay dish realigned to Badr, unless you can wait for the MBC channels to return back to their origianl Nilesat frequencies.

The missing MBC channels are coming and going on their old Nilesat frequencies.
