be pointed to?

For All New Subscribers, The Satellite Dish should be pointed towards signal 118.7° in order
to receive the Arabic programming. Your installer should be able to acquire the proper signal
for you upon installation.

8- Why is the EPG different from the


actual programs showing?

Most of the channel Grids arrive either late or they change at the last minute.

DISH Network requires at least 3-5 business days to update the EPG in case of any last minute

The EPG mistakes are common on any TV Station, but a little bit more on the Arabic Channels.

We are working on fixing the EPG mistakes as much as we can.
