New beIN SPORTS MAX Channels Appear on Eutelsat 8 West B (8°W): Full Frequencies and Satellite Details
With major global football tournaments and summer sports events kicking off, the beIN Network has officially launched its highly anticipated beIN SPORTS MAX channels on the Eutelsat 8 West B (8°W) satellite.
These premium, encrypted channels are dedicated to broadcasting live regional and international championships. If you are tracking the Nilesat/Eutelsat orbital block, several new premium channels have just appeared across three separate frequencies.
Below is the verified, technical frequency data required to update your satellite receiver manually.
Official beIN SPORTS MAX Frequencies (Eutelsat 8°W)
To capture these channels, your dish must be aligned to the 7°W / 8°W orbital slot (covering the Nilesat and Eutelsat footprints). Ensure your receiver supports DVB-S2 and HD/MPEG-4 modulation.
| Channel Name | Frequency | Polarization | Symbol Rate (SR) | FEC | Encryption |
| beIN SPORTS MAX 1 | 12604 MHz | Horizontal (H) | 27500 | 2/3 | Irdeto 2 / VideoGuard |
| beIN SPORTS MAX 2 | 11013 MHz | Horizontal (H) | 27500 | 2/3 | Irdeto 2 / VideoGuard |
| beIN SPORTS MAX 5 | 11054 MHz | Horizontal (H) | 27500 | 2/3 | Irdeto 2 / VideoGuard |
Geographic Coverage & Dish Requirements
The Eutelsat 8 West B MENA beam provides exceptional signal strength across the following regions:
North Africa: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt.
The Levant & Middle East: Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine.
The Gulf Region: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain.
Dish Size Tip: For viewers in Egypt, the Levant, and the Gulf, a standard 60cm to 90cm dish is sufficient for a stable lock. Viewers in deep North Africa or fringe coverage zones may require a 105cm to 120cm dish to prevent picture breakup during peak viewing hours.
How to Manually Add the Channels
If your receiver hasn't updated automatically, follow these brief steps:
Open your receiver's Installation/Transponder Menu.
Select Eutelsat 8 West B (or Nilesat if multi-feed/shared).
Choose Add New Frequency (TP) and enter one of the configurations listed above (e.g., 11013, Horizontal, 27500).
Ensure your modulation is set to DVB-S2 / 8PSK.
Run a Manual/TP Scan.
Note: Because these are premium channels, they are encrypted. You will need an active, valid beIN package subscription (such as the Ultimate/Premium tiers) and an authorized receiver to decode the signal.
