Dear Jamii family,
A friend wants to get the Bein Sports paraphernalia and I remember someone once mentioned about it here though I can't recall who or around what time it was.

Kindly if anyone has any info regarding the cost, bouquets, subscription charges etc. kindly share I will be glad.

Thanks all.

check bein sports website for more details but if you have a friend in Dubai the better. Regional rights restricts us from dealing directly with Bein sports.

Good Morning,

Which type of receiver are you using?

The key sometimes depends on the type of sat receiver.

Try either B2 E4 D3 00 F6 F7 A4 00 or B2 E4 D3 69 F6 F7 A4 91

Jambo Ndungu Kungu1,

Finally AZAM is coming to kenya. They hoped to roll out by 1st october but their office is
still being setup. I just wanted to find out how much they charge for their packages.

I will keep you posted once we are done setting up their office but there are plans to do the activation from Uganda which I found strange since its a Tanzanian company.

After blind scanning Intelsat 906 @64.2 was surprised to get a new tp 3757H4680 but is coded under biss.I do not know which channel it carries as no channel name came up.

AZAM rolled their service early this month here in Kampala at Hotel Africana.
They charge UGX 260,000/= (US$96) for their HD decoder, dish, installation plus one month's subscription.
Thereafter you pay a monthly subscription of about US$8 pm for their single and only package.
I noticed that their local staff were "poached" from UniChoice (dstv), Zuku and StarTimes.

Azam as a company has been in Uganda for many years and are mainly known for their
AZAM brand of wheat flour, milled and packed from their big plant in Industrial Area in Kampala.
Their popular 2kg packets of AZAM wheat flour can be found in most supermarkets in Uganda alongside
other local wheat brands like KASWA (Ntake), BLUE RIBBON, and PEMBE.

I was surprised at how they diversified from grain milling to pay-TV service business.
There must be an ASAS patient among their directors.

Incidentally their offices are within walking distance from Hotel Africana along Wampewo Avenue
in the posh Kololo area. They are in their own premises which have undergone extensive renovations.

As Per Lyngsat website Y1A at 52.5°E - LyngSat MBC standard definition now on Yahsat frequency 11862 H DVB-S SR 27500 on Mena footprint.







Happy viewing:cool2::cool2:

Seems like MBC has fired up a new transponder on Yahsat. According to latest updates its on the MENA which is easily receivable in East Africa.

Eutelsat Communications (NYSE Euronext Paris: ETL) and Nilesat, the Egyptian satellite operator, on 15th September 2014, announced that Nilesat has taken a long-term lease for multiple transponders on the EUTELSAT 8 West B satellite to be launched in mid-2015 to the leading video neighborhood in the Middle East and North Africa.


The 7/8 degrees West video neighborhood operated by Eutelsat and Nilesat broadcasts more than 1,000 TV channels to over 52 million homes located from Morocco in the West to the Gulf in the East.

Eutelsat and Nilesat have progressively built a comprehensive broadcast infrastructure at 7/8 degrees West, comprising three Eutelsat and two Nilesat satellites specifically designed for Direct-to-Home reception.

Both operators have steadily brought new capacity on line to meet thriving demand and the acceleration of High Definition channel launches.
The next phase of expansion comes next year with EUTELSAT 8 West B that will bring additional resources, increased operational flexibility and improved signal integrity for client broadcasters.


The additional transponders booked by Nilesat on EUTELSAT 8 West B complement resources already leased on the EUTELSAT 8 West C satellite that equips Nilesat to meet immediate customer expectations for high-performance capacity.

Services on EUTELSAT 8 West C satellite will be transferred to EUTELSAT 8 West B once the satellite enters service.

Predicted Eutelsat 8 West B Footprint


Eutelsat 8 West B C-Band Beam






Eutelsat 8West B MENA Beam





Eutelsat 8 West B Ku-South America Beam





Please note, Nilesat 102 lifespan comes to an end next year around August 2015 as the satellite ends its 15 year expected life time.

Channels on Nilesat 102 are expected to migrate on-board Nilesat 201 and Eutelsat 7 West A, mid next year.

Keep you posted.
