  • Hi All


    I live in south west london and would like to get Abu Dhabi Sports - I've a 80CM Motorized Dish - is this big enough to view?


    I can view certain channels on 26E but the Signal for ADS is Zero?


    Help!!

  • I shouldn't think 80cms would be anywhere near big enough.


    I can see quite a bit off 26e with my 1m Gibby. If you can bare with me a few hours i'll have a look. I can't move the dish just yet as i'm updating my card :haha:

  • sorry but you cant get signal need maybe 2,3 m dish

  • hi my friend in canarias 80cm 97 /100 quality and signal get about 630 chanels tv plus radio

  • OK i've had a play and i'm only getting stuff of BADR4 on my 1m Gibby, not a sniff of stuff off BADR6 which transmits the Abu Dhabi sports.


    As for 7w i can get stuff of Eutelsat 7 West A, but Abu Dhabi sports isn't on this bird. I can sometimes get a lock on a really clear day of some of the OSN channels off Nilesat 102 but they never stay locked for long.
