• Subscription requirement: As a premium channel, the beIN series is encrypted and requires an active beIN subscription. Contact local distributors or visit www.bein.com for subscription details. Free-to-air access is not available.

• Outside the MENA region: Viewers in Europe, Asia or the Americas may have difficulty accessing the beIN series via satellite due to the regional presence of Nilesat and Es’hailSat. Consider beIN CONNECT for streaming, subject to regional restrictions.

• Signal challenges: In fringe areas such as Northern Europe or Southern Africa, the quality level may be low, requiring a larger dish (90-120cm) and a high-quality Ku-band LNB.

Tips for receiving the beIN series

To ensure a stable and high-quality signal for the beIN series, follow these practical reception tips:

1. Selection of plate size: A 60-80cm dish is sufficient for Nilesat or Es’hailSat in major MENA regions (e.g. Qatar, Egypt, UAE). In fringe areas (e.g. West Africa, Northern Europe), use a 90-120cm dish to capture a stronger signal.

2. Accurate plate alignment: Use a satellite finder tool or app (e.g. SatFinder, DishPointer) to align the dish toward Nilesat (7.0° west) or Es’hailSat (25.5° east). Ensure a clear line of sight, free of obstacles such as buildings or trees.

3. LNB compatibility: Install a high-quality universal Ku-band LNB with local oscillator frequencies of 9.75 GHz (low band) and 10.6 GHz (high band). For encrypted channels like the beIN series, make sure your LNB supports DVB-S2 modulation.

4. Signal quality monitoring: Aim for a signal quality of at least 70% (ideally 98%) in the receiver setup menu to avoid pixelation or freezing. Adjust the tilt of the LNB (for example, 6 o’clock position) for optimal performance.

5. Meteorological considerations: Ku-band signals are susceptible to fading due to rain. Protect your dish from wind and inspect LNB caps for water damage to maintain signal integrity.

6. Fingerprint verification: Confirm that your location is within satellite range (for example, Nilesat’s MENA range) using the coverage maps at www.dishpointer.com or www.satbeams.com. Weak signals in areas such as South Sudan may require professional installation.

   • If the satellite is not in the list, add it manually by entering its orbital position (for example, 7.0° W for Nilesat).

4. Enter the transponder details:

5. Start the scan:

   • Press “Scan”, “Search” or “OK” to start scanning the transponder.

   • Select “All channels” or “Encrypted channels” to include the beIN series, which requires decryption via a beIN smartcard.

   • Activate your receiver via beIN’s official channels if it is a new setup.

8. Optimize the dish:

   • If the signal is weak or the channel is not displayed, adjust the dish’s azimuth and elevation slightly by monitoring the signal meter on the receiver’s “Signal Strength” screen.

   • Check the tilt of the LNB and cable connections for optimal signal quality (aim for 70-98% strength).

9. Test the transmission:

   • Go to the channel list, locate beIN Series and select it to check the clarity of the broadcast.

   • If problems persist, recheck your transponder settings, confirm your subscription status, or consult a professional installer.

Model specific notes:

• For beIN receivers, use the “Auto Scan” feature to update all beIN channels, including the beIN series, if your subscription is active.

• For non-beIN receivers (e.g., Strong, Technisat), ensure that your device supports Conax and DVB-S2 encryption for beIN’s HD channels.

• If your receiver requires a PIN, try default values ​​such as 0000 or 1234, or refer to the user manual.
