Which would you recommend : installing a dish to receive cablevision broadcast free channels( lbci, mtv, otv, al jadeed ... not the premium channels that need subscription obviously) , or should i go with arabsat badr satellite ?
Does a small dish work for arabsat (like i have for nilesat) or do i need a bigger dish ?
I know the local channels are now broadcasted in hd over badr and cablevision, but will i be able to pick these in sd quality on an old starsat m10 receiver(non hd) that i still have in a room or i will not be able to receive these at all without an hd receiver ?
I am not sure you will be able to receive cablevision channels with your receiver---in addition,, I do not know how long cablevision will continue to broadcast the channels unscrambled, so your best choice is probably is probably arabsat. I don't know what you watch on Nilesat, but chances are that it will be on Arabsat, so you can probably point your Nilesat dish at Hotbird and don't have to bother installing another dish. I think anything 50cm or more should work.
Al Jazeera, the Qatari government-owned channel, continues to hold forth in popularity in Egypt. Al Arabiya, funded in part by the Saudi government through a holding company, once again tops others in Saudi Arabia by a wide margin, but it also garnered impressive audience ratings in Iraq, where Alhurra, the U.S. government service, continues to trail its competition, there and elsewhere.
The channel broadcasts non-stop footage of attacks on U.S. troops interwoven with verbal attacks on Iran and Shiites, like Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who it accuses of being loyal to Iran. Since its launch in mid-November, al-Zawraa has been distributed by Nilesat, a satellite provider controlled by the Egyptian government.
Before the 2016 Media Law, there was no regulatory system for broadcasting in Egypt. Public broadcasters were subject to the Egyptian Radio and Television Union (ERTU) Law No. 13 of 1979 modified by Law No. 223 of 1989. ERTU worked under the supervision of the Ministry of Information. This system led to TV channels operating under a total state supervision. No private terrestrial broadcasters operated in Egypt, except a number of FM radio stations, while private satellite television stations were established according to the investment law. Private TV channels operated through satellite from the Egyptian Media Production City, a sort of offshore area. Accordingly, private TV channels obtained their licences from the General Authority for Investment. There was no specific law detailing the conditions or the rules of broadcasting or for the obtaining of a broadcasting licence.
It is under in this legal framework that many disputes were brought before CRCICA related to various private TV channel and satellite service providers as well as daily newspapers editors. Over the past 10 years, CRCICA has administered 55 cases related to media and entertainment, five cases being filed during 2018.
The third case, filed also in 2014, was brought by a satellite provider against an Arab TV channel, with respect to a contract for broadcasting. The satellite provider had first filed a case against the company that owns the TV channel for non-payment of amounts due under the contract. However, the case was terminated following the conclusion of a settlement agreement between both of them, which also provided for arbitration before CRCICA in case of dispute. Following the non-payment by the TV channel of the amounts rescheduled in the settlement agreement, the satellite provider filed a case against it for the payment of the amounts due according to the settlement agreement. The tribunal obliged the respondent jointly with its CEO to pay the amounts due under the settlement agreement.
The fourth case was filed in 2016 by a company owning and operating a number of TV satellite channels against a company for media production and advertisement. The case was based on two contracts made between the two companies and including identical arbitration clauses. Both contracts (a contract was made for each TV channel) granted the media production company exclusive rights for marketing and advertising, and included the implementation by the latter of an advertisement campaign to promote the two TV satellite channels. The claimant company undertook the task of developing the TV channels and obtaining broadcasting rights for TV series and movies. The profits generated by these activities would be divided between the two parties according to a formula provided for in the contracts. The claimant filed the arbitration proceedings requesting compensation for breach of contract. The respondent made a number of counterclaims, including ordering the claimant to pay amounts due under the two contracts.
