Hello,
I am considering joining a contract in Saudi.
Is DSTV ku Band available in Saudi. The beam maps show Intelsat 20 beams across EMEA but my concern is the frequency.
Are there any persons in Saudi that are receiving multichoice DSTV.
Thanks
Amos

Good question!

I would also like to know.

I think you better check that from the provider's website. As for the installation (if coverage is available), the workers here can do it for you with some patience from your side. Normal Sats here are Nilesat and Arabsat.

I can install it in 30 mins but putting the decoder in my suitcase needs to be worth it. Its obviously no point if the frequency is not transmitted, thats the essence of my question.

So please, if anyone is receiving DSTV in Saudi, please respond.

Some good news.
Multichoice is beamed across Saudi. Select filter packages and enter multichoice.
Seems it is possible to pick up broadcast.
Well at least now i know i wont be missing motogp, bokke and proteas.

Unfortunately,,,, DSTV on southafrican beam ,, its Impossible in saudia,,also on E36 subsharan beam its impossible in north or east saudia
I try on 240 cm in riyadh on 36 e  but no result i got,,,
And
Intelsat 20 at 68.5°E Impossible to get it,,,the beam on it only to southafrica and small part from namibia and zimbabwe and botswana
Forget DSTV in saudia or arab gulf ..
Only in south saudia you can get subsharan beam (dstv africa )
