beIN Media Group, the Qatari sport and entertainment network, is migrating its transponder capacity from Nilesat to Eutelsat 8 degrees West.

“Starting from December 15 until December 31, beIN subscribers can watch content on all the available frequencies. After the 31st of December, subscribers will need to ensure their set top boxes are reconfigured to avoid any interruptions,” the company said in a statement.

“The switch of satellites provides an increase in platform security and control, and improved resilience overall. These efforts were made to ensure beIN Media Company can continue to provide its viewers and fans with its unrivalled library of entertainment, live sport action and major international events in the highest standards available across all its platforms,” the statement added.

beIN subscribers can continue to watch their channels on both satellites until December 31st 2018. For an uninterrupted service after that, subscribers will need to ensure that their set-top boxes are reconfigured.
