New beIN SPORTS MAX & beIN 4K Channels Launch on Es'hail 1 (25.5°E): Full Transponder Frequencies
With a massive calendar of international sports leagues and championships underway, beIN Network has finalized a strategic transponder update. Network operators have officially activated three high-profile premium feeds on the Es'hail 1 (25.5° East) orbital slot, catering directly to subscribers looking for dedicated live event coverage and ultra-high-definition broadcasts.
A major highlight of this shift includes moving the crown jewel beIN 4K UHD channel to a fresh frequency, flanked immediately by two critical tournament feeds: beIN SPORTS MAX 5 and beIN SPORTS MAX 6.
Below are the complete, verified satellite frequency parameters required to manually update your digital satellite receiver.
Verified Transponder Details: Es'hail 1 (25.5°E)
To pull in these premium encrypted feeds, ensure your receiver is fully compliant with DVB-S2 transmission standards and supports HEVC (H.265) decoding—which is mandatory to view the 4K Ultra HD signal.
| Channel Name | Frequency | Polarization | Symbol Rate (SR) | FEC | Video Modulation / Quality | Encryption |
| beIN 4K UHD | 11084 MHz | Horizontal (H) | 27500 | 2/3 | DVB-S2 / HEVC 4K | Irdeto 2 / VideoGuard |
| beIN SPORTS MAX 5 | 11084 MHz | Horizontal (H) | 27500 | 2/3 | DVB-S2 / MPEG-4 HD | Irdeto 2 / VideoGuard |
| beIN SPORTS MAX 6 | 11084 MHz | Horizontal (H) | 27500 | 2/3 | DVB-S2 / MPEG-4 HD | Irdeto 2 / VideoGuard |
Geographic Coverage & Reception Footprint
The Es'hail 1 MENA Ku-band beam features exceptional, high-EIRP signal distribution across the Middle East and North Africa.
Peak Signal Zones (Small Dish Friendly): The entire Arabian Gulf (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain), the Levant region (Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine), and Egypt can easily lock this transponder using a standard 60cm to 75cm offset dish.
Fringe Signal Zones (Larger Dish Recommended): Viewers across West North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, and parts of Tunisia) will experience the best signal stability throughout changing weather patterns by utilizing a 90cm to 120cm dish setup.
Technical Note: Because Es'hail 1 at 25.5°E sits incredibly close to the Arabsat / Badr (26° East) cluster, a single LNB pointed centrally can successfully map both orbital positions on standard home setups.
How to Manually Add the New Transponder
If your authorized beIN Media Server box has not pulled down the new frequencies via an automatic background OTA (Over-The-Air) update, follow these steps to force a scan:
Bring up your receiver's Settings menu and navigate to Satellite Setup / Installation.
Choose Es'hail / Arabsat 26E from your active satellite profile list.
Select Add New TP (Transponder) and enter the values manually:
Frequency: 11084
Polarization: Horizontal
Symbol Rate: 27500
Ensure your modulation profile reads DVB-S2 or 8PSK.
Initiate a TP Search / Manual Scan.
Once the scan concludes, the newly found channels will populate at the tail end of your main station list or inside their designated sports categories. Access to these channels strictly requires an active premium tier or ultimate subscription tier package mapped to your conditional access smartcard.
