you probably know that there are 2 ways to watch arabic and lebanese channels in the US and Canada:
1) dish network: paid service; channels include LBC america, FTV ( i'd rather die than watch their BS), New TV, NBN ( everything is related to 7araket amal, literally) , in addition to other famous arabic channels such as mbc, abudhabi, etc.... this service can get really expensive ( unless you are illegally watching it for free! i think the word lebanese comes to mind).
2) Telestar 5, a free to air satellite, absolutely free (legally): actually most people got because of almanar but unfortunately it got baned in 2004; nevertheless there are about 15 arabic channels like syria tv and similar bs stations.
but the good news is OTV is on the free satellite.
so just run an update and check for orange tv at 11789MHz, vertical on the same satellite (telestar 5) or any other satellite with orbital position of 97 West ( you can change satellites from settings).
one thing you will notice is the signal is extremely weak ( very susceptible to weather conditions), but good enough to enjoy watching OTV.
however, usually what happens is that some free channels get "promoted" to dish network, but this is still unclear with the case of OTV.
As a share holder, I felt that it is my duty to promote OTV and make watching OTV easier. |
i contacted Dish Network and asked them to consider adding OTV to their services..
they responded that they are always working for their customers and would look at this issue...
if a lot of their customers ask for OTV, perhaps they might add it to their channels..
