Had same problem but miraculously all programmes reappeared yesterday. Must have been something to do with atmospherics due to bad weather. As for Fox series not transmitting in English after much frustration got this sorted.You get the menue up on screen then I believe I went to audio and was able to change back to English there. Its no good pressing the language button or the audio button under the on off switch,you can only do it by going into the menu option. Hope this helps.

Dont despair, lost mine too but tuned them back in, what the hell are MBC playing at keep changing the frequencies.



I did it on automatic tune this time and now on numbers 291, 294, 295,,296 and 297 - they were in 700's before. I now have 839 stations, not that I understand any that are not in English.



Play with your language button gardengnome, (in private of course) I think fox have it the wrong way round. YOu get English

when you click Arabic, obviously a man in charge!!!!!!!!! (only joking)

Keep your eye on this: http://en.kingofsat.net/sat-nilesat102.php



Lots of good info and it shows you the freq changes as well. Still learning about my system but have never had to have a card - why should I need a card when the stations I watch are all FTA anyway?

coffeeman, MBC ARE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN FREE TO AIR. Know what you are talking about before opening your mouth please, you are being offensive There are plenty of scrambeled channels and if I want to access them I will pay for a card. Frankly, more than enough Free to Air and as yet have not found a way to watch

two progammes at the same time.

I've had NO PROBLEMS today with my NILESAT today. All running perfectly, on the normal channels, when I last looked about an hour ago.

My programmes have also disappeared. Fatafeat was on 19 and now just says NO SIGNAL, I have done autosearch several times with the search button in the ON position, no difference. I am a bit fed up with having the lad come to reset everything. Not a dummy but if the autosearch not finding the channels and the language button not fixing the arabic language when set to english then I am stumped.

Oh suehowlittle, I am sure it is somehing simple, I know it sounds obvious but have you come out of favourites and trolled through the channels, as I said I found all mine from 291 onwards then put them back into favourites and then deleted the obsolete ones.
