For all those wondering why they cant log in to bein website its coz of IP and this is why.
What is an IP address?
Every device connected to the public Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses consist of four numbers separated by periods (also called a 'dotted-quad') and look something like 127.0.0.1.
Since these numbers are usually assigned to internet service providers within region-based blocks, an IP address can often be used to identify the region or country from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. An IP address can sometimes be used to show the user's general location.
Because the numbers may be tedious to deal with, an IP address may also be assigned to a Host name, which is sometimes easier to remember. Hostnames may be looked up to find IP addresses, and vice-versa. At one time ISPs issued one IP address to each user. These are called static IP addresses. Because there is a limited number of IP addresses and with increased usage of the internet ISPs now issue IP addresses in a dynamic fashion out of a pool of IP addresses (Using DHCP). These are referred to as dynamic IP addresses. This also limits the ability of the user to host websites, mail servers, ftp servers, etc. In addition to users connecting to the internet, with virtual hosting, a single machine can act like multiple machines (with multiple domain names and IP addresses).
There is a way to get through if you are not in the mena region but that is a lesson for another day.

You will make it. If you have a computer, go to dishpointer.com, it will guide you on where and how to point your dish. Also, if you got an Android phone, there are many applications you can use to point your dish. Like someone had stated earlier, the dish will almost be vertical. Many members have posted photos of their setup which you can look at in the foregoing thread pages. Alternatively, you can get the Z*ku bird which has stronger signals thereafter lower your dish. Once you lock onto any bird, ASAS will set in, next you'll be making plans for bigger and more dishes.

Here is a photo of my setup for getting sats at 7 west and 7 east, might help give some on this forum an idea of elevation angles. dishes pointing almost due west of course, towards setting sun, in Nairobi,

sounds like my size T-shirt, that XXL:biggrin1:.
 
OK Permie, I agree with your advice, spot on but also you can have 7w and 8w on same LNB using a 130 but you will have compromised nile201 and some weak tps on 7 w it also depends on location the nearer to the beam you are the more possible. fringe users will have to compromise some tps to do that

I concur. Ocasionally I do get 8w,7w and nilesat 201 all using one lnb.. and as you rightly say, signal stregths are normally compromised for this all in one setup... whenever I raise my dish to get 8w propoer, I lose Nilesat 201..( dubai one,BBC,CNN,Euronews,Press TV,CCTV,NHK etc..)

Down here at the coast its very hard to nab some sats even with the best equipment, eg 16e, astra2f@28e and the european beam of 7e. Sometimes the strong tps come in but with a lot of scratches.
 
But in some cases like nabbing the south african beam from Intelsat 20, you guys are lucky.. Likewise you are closer to the Eutelsat 16A on 16e South East Africa beam hosting CanalSat Réunion than the rest of us

Meanwhile RDV ( 12562H ) on 16E is showing FA cup. Asernal Vs Everton

Or simply use a proxy site like myknowledgepage.com Glype® proxy to mask your ip address. Be sure to type full address of site you are looking for in their text box. And yes be sure to enable javascript on your pc.
