Not familiar with Dolphin TV, but Globecast has numerous channels on IA5
- ku. Some are in the clear, and some are scrambled, even on the same
transponder. For a fairly complete list check out:

and look through the channels that have the 'buff' colored background
and say 'DVB.' Those are all in the clear and should be receivable.

As of Wednesday night Al Jazeera was not encrypted (I went there briefly
and found it BORING!) According to Lyngsat they are transmitting at two
location for the western hemisphere.

IA5 11999H SR 20000
IA13 3900V SR 27864

Yes, you can key in the transponder info and SR and do a search on that
transponder.

Take care,
