Al Jazeera Sport HD delivers its technical liaison through the Arabsat 2B satellite
It is the professional technical signal that Al Jazeera Sport used to distribute not only their high-definition channel, but also other broadcast via Atlantic Bird satellite 4A (7 ° West) whose coverage is not possible either in Europe or in large part Maghreb.
Specifically, Al Jazeera Sport uses a transponder C-band satellite Arabsat 2B (30.5 ° West) to distribute the contents of up to eight channels: Al Jazeera Sport HD1, Al Jazeera Sport HD2, Middle East ESPN, ESPN Classic Middle East ESPN America Middle East ART Sport 7, NBA TV and Al Jazeera Sport Channel Clubs.
The frequency used is the 4125-R (DVB-S, MPEG-4, SR 27500, FEC 3 / 4) with 1rd3t0 and Viaccess encryption enabled so that subscribers to this platform can also access the sign of all these channels whose continuity in the future can not be guaranteed since the Arab network did not endorse to their subscribers. In addition, satellite Arabsat 2B is characterized, unlike the Badr Badr 4 and 6, which emits signals professional techniques (feeds), no business with a SCPC (Single Channel Pair Carrier) low.
For optimal reception of the Arabsat 2B satellite in the Iberian Peninsula need a satellite dish with a diameter greater than 1.40 meters apart from the technical equipment necessary to capture the C-band LNB as these features.
It so happens that this satellite will replace Arabsat 2B summer before the new Arabsat 5A.
