Available Arabic channels in the USA

Arabic channels are available as follows:

Arabic packs through Dish Network (monthly subscription required), or
Free to Air Arabic channels available on IA5 (no monthly subscription required)

Click here to learn more about these offers and what equipment you need to buy to receive those channels:

BTW, it is best to get both systems since the channels are not the same between the two options.

Just a quick note. there are some Arabic channels on Hispasat out at 30 degrees. I believe a sat in the 50's also has a few channels. Going just from memory but perhaps it was Amazonas I seen them on.

and by going there .. To Telstar 12 link:
http://www.lyngsat.com/t12.html .. it says there: "Telstar 12 at 15.0°W"

...
Al Hayat, mentioned above shows FTA there.. along with many other channels on various TPs there.. many more arabic channels, some chinese, some greek, etc..

Not sure if or who can get T12 though in N.America...

Hi All,

I have a Samsung Digital Receiver DSB-4700F, and pointing the dish to InteAmerica5. I have most all the Arabic channels including 2M, except the other Moroccan Channel: Almaghribia. I had it before, someone who install it for me enter some frequencies to get it, but now I have done the installation again, but I lost it and seems that I can't get it back.

Can someone tell me exactly what I need to do in order to get that channel back.

Cheers!

Thank you.

Elmajed.

I think you need to enter a new transponder into your receiver.

11783 V
SR 25000
Scan that freq and you ought to get it.

Press Menu, Go to installation, Enter password, Go to manual scan, scroll down to the second line and press the right arrow until you see NEW. Go down to the third line and enter 11789 using your remote. Go down one more line (SR)and enter 25000. Down to polarity and leave it at Vertical. Press OK. One the receiver done scanning press ok again. Exit the menu and look for the channel.
