The Arabic Channel on T5

shafagoj · #1 (**permalink**) 12-17-2004, 10:01 AM

I am able to get good reception an all TPs on T5 (above 90%). but for some reason I am not able to get a signal on TP8 - 11874H @ 22000 3/4. I am just cirious about the new chanel called "The Arabic Channel". Any suggestions? :shock:

I have the same problem than you with this transponder, see:

What is the size of your dish?
It will be interesting if someone can confirm that this tp is the weakest on IA5 (ex-T5).
TAC broadcast some arabic programs. Yesterday night I saw news from Syria and this morning a soccer match broadcasted in the same time on the Syrian Satellite channel.

I have 36" dish and my signal on this transponder is 88% signal strength/83% signal quality.

OK, I only have a poor 6% in the best...my installator will come next week and I think I will go with a 1 meter dish...

11874 is very weak transponder. If you do not get it but you get all other transponders fine, just try to rotat your lnb. Most of the times I get signal of 74% (the highest) from 0 when I move the lnb just 3-4 degrees.
