Tips for optimal reception

To enjoy Algérie 3 broadcasts in high quality, follow these practical reception tips:

1. Plate size: Use a 60-80cm dish for Nilesat and Hot Bird in MENA and Europe (e.g. Algiers, Paris). For AlcomSat-1 the ideal is a 70-90 cm dish. In marginal areas (for example, Northern Europe for Nilesat), a 90-120 cm dish improves the quality level.

2. Plate alignment: Align your dish with Nilesat (7.0° W), Hot Bird (13.0° E), Astra (19.2° E), or AlcomSat-1 (24.8° W) using a satellite tracker or an app like SatFinder or DishPointer. Ensure a clear line of sight.

3. LNB selection: Install a universal Ku band LNB with frequencies 9.75 GHz (low band) and 10.6 GHz (high band). Ensure DVB-S2 compatibility for HD broadcasts on Hot Bird and AlcomSat-1.

4. Signal quality: Choose a signal quality of 70% or higher (98% is best) on your receiver’s signal meter to avoid pixelation. Adjust the tilt of the LNB for best performance.

5. Weather protection: Ku-band signals may weaken during heavy rain. Protect your dish and check your LNB caps for water damage to ensure consistent reception.

6. Coverage check: Verify that your location is within satellite range using the coverage maps at www.dishpointer.com or www.satbeams.com.
