Tips for a strong signal
To enjoy 2M Maroc programs with a strong and clear signal, follow these expert tips for satellite reception:
-
Plate size: Use a 60-80cm dish for Nilesat, Hot Bird and Badr 4 in MENA and Europe (e.g. Rabat, Paris). For Eutelsat 21B the ideal is a 70-90 cm dish. In marginal areas (for example, northern Europe for Nilesat), a 90-120 cm dish increases the quality level.
-
Accurate plate alignment: Point your dish to Nilesat (7.0° W), Hot Bird (13.0° E), Badr 4 (26.0° E), or Eutelsat 21B (21.6° E) using a satellite tracker or an app like DishPointer or SatFinder. Ensure a clear line of sight from obstacles.
-
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 Nilesat and Eutelsat 21B.
-
Signal quality: Choose a signal quality of 70% or higher (98% is best) on your receiver’s signal meter to avoid pixelation. Optimize the tilt of the LNB for best performance.
-
Weather protection: Ku-band signals may weaken during heavy rain. Protect your dish from wind and check your LNB caps for water damage to maintain signal stability.
-
Verification of coverage: Verify that your location is within satellite range using the coverage maps at www.dishpointer.com or www.satbeams.com.
