    NBC = National Broadcasting Network of Philippines?

    MBC of Dubai ?

    If so those are not FTA in the US or on EchoStar3 either.

    You sure aren't gonna get anything scrambled/pay for free; I think you are looking in the wrong place.

    I'm using an old StarChoice 60E to receive the audio channels on Echostar 7. Only modification I had to do was drill out the hole on the dish arm that originally held the SC quad lnb so that a regular circular lnb could be affixed.
