If you're looking for Portuguese try Intelsat 907 C-BAND. Menasat is on
pas10 ku, also Portuguese.
English stuff available.. (will work with your 2,5m dish)
MBC2 & CNN are on arabsat 2C, in English.
MBC1 has a (not so old) movie every saturday (use the DVB channel). Other
channels like Oman, Kuwait etc have movie at night, older stuff though (80's
and 90's).
CNN in DVB on NSS7 C band if you need to watch the news without sparkles.
Also an Arabic bouquet. Abu Dhabi has a movie now and again (english with
subtitles).
TV5 & CFI (French) also there. (what I watch)
News channels
BBC World on PAS10,
SKY on Intelsat 902,
MSNBC on Telstar 12,
CNN on ARABSAT 2C and NSS7,
Channel News Asia on APSTAR,
CCTV 9 (English) on PAS10.
ETV and MBC2 are enough for me. Why would you want to watch TV if you're
living in Cape Town :-)
Can you get the West African beam on NSS-7?
10986V 30000 3/4 } Just a encoded signal will do
11491V 30000 3/4 }
I haven't tried myself. Could you do me this favour while your dish
positioned there. Probably won't work, but transponders may be combined.

2 portuguese chanels from Angola TPA1 and TPA2 are availible free to air
Picked them up off NSS7 with a 90cm dish in Cape Town and a free to air
digital decoder (not a MultiChoice decoder)....
Now all I need to do is learn Portuguese...
Bought a 2.5m C band dish and tried to get the Arabic channels off
Arabsat
with a analogue decoder.
I got picture but very sparkley on most of the channels.
Aparantly you can get good reception in JHB..
Any thing else worth while up there... anybody??
I hear that their is a chinease channel ??

Don't think much ever happens on this group anyway... Glad to see Don't
Panic is gone though. Not to mention R2000 a card, some people must be
quite
pissed off now.
FTA channels you can get on a 90cm dish that are worth watching are very
few.
T12 - MSNBC feeds and VOA persia
PAS7+10 - Botswana (wow), Euronews & ETV
MSNBC feeds = 11519 SR3745 FEC 7/8
VOA transmits 12h of C-SPAN another hour of Bloomberg and politics as
well
as pretty much the same content as Wonderfull used to give. Rest of the
time
is Persian news.
Stuff like Mindset's Activate channel and Kanal Austral aren't worth
watching. Activate is school work. Kanal Austral is broadcast from the
Reunion island and is island music intended for people getting ready for
work. Last I checked it was only on from 05:00 - 08:00.
