Egypt blocks Al-Jazeera transmissions, orders bureaus shut

New York, January 30, 2011--Nilesat, the satellite transmission company owned by the Egyptian Radio and Television Union and other government agencies, has stopped transmitting the signal of Al-Jazeera's primary channel, the station and others reported today. The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the actions of Egyptian authorities to disrupt media coverage by Al-Jazeera and calls on them to reverse the decision immediately.

Shortly before 11 a.m., Al-Jazeera announced on the air that Anas al-Fiqi, information minister in the cabinet that was dismissed on Friday, had ordered the offices of all Al-Jazeera bureaus in Egypt shut down and the accreditation of all network journalists revoked. The official Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported that the order was to take effect on Sunday, and transmissions originating from Egypt ceased within an hour of the announcement. The discharged information minister ordered "the relevant government agencies to take the immediate legal measures necessary to revoke the licenses for live satellite transmission equipment (S.N.G.) and fiber optic cables or any other means of communication provided to Al-Jazeera," MENA reported.

"The shutting down of Al-Jazeera is a brazen violation of the fundamental right of Egyptians to receive information as their country is in turmoil," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "The international community should prevail upon President Mubarak to lift this censorship immediately."

Today is the sixth day of massive street demonstrations in which citizens had been demanding political, social, and economic reforms, though demonstrators are now calling for the complete removal of Mubarak's three-decade-long regime. On Thursday, authorities suspended Internet and mobile phone service, according to news reports and mobile operators, in an effort to disrupt communications between protesters as well as transmission of news. On Saturday, mobile phone services were restored to a large degree, according to local journalists and press freedom advocates who spoke to CPJ.

Internet connectivity, a vital resource for local journalists and those reporting from Egypt to the rest of the world, continues to be almost non-existent in Egypt, with more than 90 percent of connections to the wider Internet shut down. CPJ research indicates that this is a deliberate, coordinated result of Egyptian government orders to local Internet service providers. CPJ urges the government to rescind any such directives and order the restoration of Egypt's connections with the outside world.

Both Al-Jazeera and Al-Jazeera English continued to report today on Egypt from other locations. CPJ research shows that viewers outside Egypt can now view the network's Arabic channel only on the Hotbird satellite or other satellites not controlled by Egyptian authorities. But at least two individuals in Egypt who spoke to the channel's anchor on air reported that they could not view the channel even on non-state satellites, an indication that authorities may be jamming those transmissions. As of 1 p.m. local time, Al-Jazeera English's broadcast remained on Nilesat. Al-Jazeera Mubasher, the network's live news channel, which had been transmitting live footage from Egypt's streets was taken off Nilesat on Thursday.

@badaru1, thk u very much I appreciate ur response.
@george D, u ar 1daful a brother.

Hi Nash,
Appreciation for all your efforts.
I am geman based in Kampala, Uganda.

I must apologize for not responding to the topical issue, however, I need your input on challenge.
I have moved around in Kampala looking for shops with Satellite equipment like big dishes(2.4m and above), serious LNBs like Fuji, Inverto and Invacom, Receivers of MPEG4 format etc but can't seem to find any. I am tempted to think that Nairobi and Mombasa could be having shops that sell such equipment since lots of equipment that come to Ug among other few routes, come through Kenya. Could you please give me some info on these shops particularly their contacts?

For your own information, I am interested in getting a Solid 2.4m Pole mount motorized dish, a very good LNB preferably Fuji or Inverto Ultra Black quad and an MPEG-4 Receiver/ decoder. I want to track Badr6 (26East) for fox series and Fox movies and then Nilesat (7East).
Your advice on this will also be treated with the utmost regard.

Many thanks.

gud day all,pls i need asistance on how to connect 5 lnbf to my decoder. what I want know is, is there any diseq switch that have more than 4 inlet for lnbf. thks in anticipation.

@leopower,
Yes, there are 8 - way diseqc switches but they're not common. You can still use 2 four way diseqc switches instead in case you find it hard to get one single 8 way. This topic was discussed way back in season 1 of this thread. To help you, here are some of the configurations you can use with your ordinary diseqc:

Hi Guyz,
I am very impressed with the knowledge you have and the fact that you go ahead and share it with us. Thumbs up to ya'all.

Brother George D, I have a Technosat T-888 plus receiver, which is certainly DVB-S, is it possible to upgrade it with software such that I can receive signals coming in DVB-S2 MPEG-4 format?

If it is not possible could you please advise me on a not so expensive Receiver that is HD and can receive all the formats of the signals (I mean, DVB-S, S2, MPEG-2, MPEG-4)


Otherwise, if this was already discussed before, please pardon me.

Will appreciate your response.

Many thanks

@warrendam,
Converting from DVB-S and DVB-S2 is a hardware issue. It's not simply by installing software so you see its not that straightforward. You may need to get another decoder which is mpeg4.

For an inexpensive HD decoder, you may consider buying a humax brand. Contact badaru one of our esteemed members here or best still visit the FTA Equipment thread:
