Here is a list of satellites from your area!

ALWAYS check the BEAM or footprint of the satellite to see if you have a chance of reception.

Please keep us up to date with what channels you find! And any pictures would be appreciated

Check Astra, HotBird, and TurkSats amongst others. Astra might be difficult to get, but Hotbird's signal should be strong enough. You will need an HH motor to move the dish. Good luck

You could get 3ABN on hot bird 3

From what I understand 3ABN is the only tv station that can be seen anywhere in the world by FTA satellite.

Also on hotbird there is VOA Voice of America TV

Check out the radio stations off the sat. There should be a TV/radio button on the receiver. Also there is always shortwave.

Good luck and thanks. :up

Ironically, it seems about 50% of the FTA over North America is Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, etc as well.
