Add New TV.xazbrat wrote Also, be aware that you may still have to get an HD compatible receiver---I think LBC and MTV's broadcasts are in HD, but you can cross that bridge when you get to it.
Best option to get the local channels via satellite dish
Considering the same, but since MTV, Al Jadeed and LBC are on Arabsat now along with Bein, it still a viable choice. I am also looking at Bein as cablevision costs around the same and would also get bein connect for the same/similar price--and the receiver for cablevision sucks ass. That is big for me.Kareem wroteIt's funny that I wanted to create the same topic today. I'm considering a BeIN receiver but the problem is, local channels.
do cablevision broadcast the local channels in HD?
on arabsat all of them are HD, though their cameras or encoding is terrible.

I'd go for Cablevision in a heartbeat if they let me have my own receiver. I mean I suggested to pay for 3 of their receivers without taking it, get my own receiver and let them encrypt it. They refused.
I don't know what's wrong with them. Their new receivers the Novel something is on sale on Aliexpress for $8 dollars.
National channels on Cablevision are in HD ( MTV, LBC and NTV )

well for that you can ask beIN to install for you another dish that will be pointed to cablevision (to get the free to air channels), i believe they can point it to Arabsat insteadKareem wroteIt's funny that I wanted to create the same topic today.

The CV receiver really pisses me off---its menus are from the stone age and it is super slow to boot. If I am pointing the dish at Arabsat, I might as well get Bein straight from the source and not worry about a middleman. Also, Bein connect is helpful especially when the weather is bad like it has been.Kareem wroteI'd go for Cablevision in a heartbeat if they let me have my own receiver.

If CV decided to upgrade their current lineup of receivers, then maybe stay with them, but like you said Kareem, they took a really cheap receivers and encrypted them and passed them on to customers without caring what customers thought of them. They are a monopoly after all, but still---people can point their dishes somewhere else. They should have figured that out.

Well my friend is paying $20 per year for a receiver connected to 3 dishes. He has literally 1000 channel and all encrypted channels even BeIN.
Problem is, uptime is like 90%....
Hello,
I would advise you to try Digitech, the local channels are there and unscrambled since forever!

I thought these servers aren't opening bein anymore since 2 or 3 years .
Do you have any idea where are its antennas located in Metn or Beirut, or how should we point our dish to get its signal?alcolopa wroteHello,
