FTA Question

[BrianFL]

Hello,

Im located at military installion located off the coast of the united states. I have a few antennas (1.2m KU) pointed at galaxy 19 to receive all the channels. Is it possible to receive middle eastern television? Specifically Al-Jazeera Arabic (not english), and if so which satellite do i need to point at? I browsed the lyngsat website looking for the channel and they are broadcasted on Atlantic Bird 7, which i dont think can be reached from where i am located. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

welcome

While the satellite may not be below the horizon for you, the footprint only covers Northern Africa and the Middle East
Eutelsat ATLANTIC BIRD 7 satellite at 7 degrees West : downlink

Thanks for your reply,

What other options do you think i have? Only think i can think of is Dish Networks International Package. And since i am not at a Us address at the moment i'm not sure if the equipment can be sent directly to me.

From N.A. I think the only working alternative is Al Jazeera live streaming
EDIT: WOW, did that get messed up in (non) translation? The link works. it is :www(dot) aljazeera.net/channel/livestreaming

fixed the link. When you post a link it puts a title on it...must have been in arabic or something so I renamed it
The link still works
