I see no reason why it would make any difference if the signal was C or Ku.

If Hamid wants to receive the "same satellite that he was receiving back in UAE", then I think the simple answer is NO, he can't do it, period, whether it was C or Ku. There is about a 160 deg difference in the 2 locations so they cannot see any of the same satellites, except for the moon. His receiver would probably be compatable with US satellites, but the programming he's looking for may not be available here, and his receiver may be outputting in PAL format. If he's expecting to see everything he saw back there, he probably can't.
