paksat lacks high quality sport channels in both c and ku bands.

In Pakistan, cricket is by far the most popular sport. On Paksat 38.2°E C-band, channels such as PTV Sports, Geo Super, and A Sports already cover most of the major cricket content.

As for the Ku-band, it is mostly limited to occasional sports feeds rather than dedicated, proper sports channels. There are no major sports channels available there for regular viewers.

That is a separate issue, though. We certainly need more quality sports channels, but unfortunately, it seems that there is very little attention given to the needs of Pakistani viewers.

Who is the current major broadcaster in the region for sports content, are they delivering via satellite or terrestrial (unlikely based on the area and topology) ?

Online, or otherwise dedicated mobile platforms might be more appropriate for the region but at a premium.

Try Sohl Sports on TurkmenAlem 52E- that got nothing but cricket on it. (12846V - free to air)

I think you typed the frequency a little too quickly — I believe it is 10846 V, rather than 12846 V.

Soleh Sports is already available to me as part of my multisetup, on the 68.5°E C-band side. However, it doesn't cover that many Pakistani events, so I usually prefer watching the live feeds instead.

I regularly keep an eye on feeds on 100.5°E, 68.5°E, 66°E, 76.5°E and 83.5°E C-band, especially when there are Pakistani events.

Thanks for the tip, though!
 
10.846 (East beam) will be a good 1.5m or average 1.8m dish over much of Pakistan.

Your 3.8 Prodelin should have no trouble.

Yes, exactly. In my area, the East beam is actually quite strong — I can receive it comfortably even on a 70 cm dish, so there is no need for me to use the 3.8 m Prodelin for this transponder.

I have several satellite dishes in my setup, with multiple LNBs installed for different satellite positions. One of those dishes is an 8-foot dish, centrally focused on 68.5°E C-band, with Al Yahsat 52.5°E on a side LNB, and the East beam comes in easily.

As I mentioned above, my main interest is usually in finding live feeds for Pakistani events, rather than relying only on the regular sports channels. That's why I keep multiple satellite positions and feeds available in my setup.
