The telecommunications satellite Atlantic Bird 2 (8°W) appeared FTA test channel, Fox Movies film version of the Middle East. The program is broadcast as S.C.P.C channel from the transponder in beam B3 Europe. To receive the transponder is sufficient, therefore a parabola with a diameter of about 80 cm.

Fox Movies Middle East is distributed as the FTA satellites Nilesat 101 (7°W) and Badr 6 (26°E), which can not be taken with small-scale dish.

Technical parameters:
Atlantic Bird 2 (8°W) 11090H S/R 2850 FEC 3/4 (Europe Beam) DVB-S (QPSK) 4:2:0 PAL, FTA "Fox Movies Middle East"
