Nasim.. Do you know if it is possible to watch ARD (Das Erste) on Astra in the Middle East. I watched th eopening game on ZDF yesterday on Astra. But today I tried to get my receiver to get ARD/Das Erste without luck.

Any clue.

Humied: No you can't!

ASTRA covers most of Euorpe and parts of North Africa (Tunis,Algeria and others)

Even if you used amplifiers it will cost you a fortune!

I guess Nasim's got it right. Only Turksat is showing the thing and I think those in Arab Gulf countries needs a bigger dish.

So the only possible way to watch the WC is on Kanal1 and rumors have it through channel 2, that is Israel 2 not to be mistaken with mbc2 whose logo resembles the former so much


Thanks Nasim for the info! :D

lets see...
Mozzy, yup, u need to have a minimum of 2M and a dish well fixed to Astra Sat (talking about the German one here)...

But ZDF will not be airing all of the matches as far as i mentioned!
the aired the 1st day's games as many others.

opairah, thanx for making me a masdar mawthuk ;)

firas, no, you
are right about it, even BBC 2 will be hard to get in the middle east since it covers extream western europe only, other Astra Sat(talking about the British one here) channels have a coverage as the one you mentioned, so you'll be able to get them in jordan with a 2M well fixed dish, just like Sky News and CNN.

Humeid, try SF 2 on hotbird, in case you have a meta-box the receiver will do the work and decrypt it, SF 2 can be broken with a 3 JD Viaccess Pirate Card, and it broadcasts them ALL (Garanteed by yours truly).

Or if you only have Nilesat, try this.
