As things go right now, free ku band tv India means u have to tune into two satellites,
INSAT 4B at 93.5*E for DD Direct and NSS AT 95*E for Fta channels on Zee dish tv. Ok there is Edusat too but seriously it is not for entertainment.
U can get the Pvt Channels list here.
Aligning the Dish
First u got to install the dish correctly so that it lines up with the satellite at the correct Azimuth and Elevation according to the place u live in. If ur a techie u might manage but it is best left to the professional who has equipment like a signal meter to speed up the process. Softwares like SAA or sites like Dishpointer are definitely useful for the DIY folk
I guess the best thing to do is center the dish antenna at around 94*E azimuth in between both to satellites such that the signal loss for both satellites is proportional but not too high, but the strength is still good enough so that u can tune to both satellites at the same time with minimum signal loss.The only negative would be complete loss of signal during heavy rains etc.
Tuning ur STB to receive channels
A simple way would be to do a complete or full Auto scan on ur receiver so as to get all channels. Settings being :
Mode : Free+ encrypted(will also catch zee channels which though blanked out might just be fta sometimes depending on the whims of dish tv), lnb frequency 9750 , keep 22k off, Diseq off (that is if u havent hooked it to a diseq switch) rescan again with 22k on This should give u all the fta channels both on nss and insat.
For tuning in to Specific/ Individual channels like Aaj tak kalaingar etc u must feed in the exact parameters.
For individual parameters try searching either Lyngsat or SatcodX which give all the latest details because many a times the networks can change frequencies.

When i have purchase DD Direct Plus I was happy because we could not pay for cable Operater. But now I am Having DD Direct Plus free channels and i am having Cable channels . but i like to see cable only not DD Direct Plus DTH. They tould that we are launching soon many more channels. I think they are quiting the leading channels from the list. The important TV channels like BBC, Headlines today is more important English channels and to learn how to speak English. But DD Direct Plus DTH quit those channels i am worrying about that. And waiting to get those channels.
And my main request is to increase more good channels
Best Regards
S.Gunasekaran

Can I get DD DTH INSAT 4B and NSS6 channels simultaneously? Kindly send me the procedure. I have a DD DTH and I want to view Aakash Bangla also.
What is the size of the dish u have ?
generally as both satellites are so close by u can get both signals u have only to do a full scan
but note that the second satellite ie nss 6 signal will be weaker , and to amplify it u might need a bigger dish if
the current one is tiny say a 15 inch one

D. Das // February 14, 2008 at 6:28 pm |
Thank you very much for the post in a very nice way. I have gone through the tuning inpost and enhanced my knowledge base. I am not a techie. But it is difficult to get a good professional in this regard. I’ll try.
I have a small dish, and I might have to wait for the cahnnel to come to INSAT 4B. Is there any chance of this channel or any other Bengali channel to come to DD DTH Bouquet?

Hi Everybody,
A new Korean Child Entertainment Channel KBS World added in DD Direct Plus. It replace Test 12 Channel. I think it is not necessary for us. Please add some Bengali & Hindi entertainment & news Channel to favorites DD direct plus. Right now, there is no Bengali private channel in DD DTH.

Hi
Good news for Bengali Friends
Star Jalsha is now on DD Direct Plus
Sitaram Dixit // April 1, 2009 at 12:26 pm |
I have a 100 cm dish for DD direct. On adjusting the dish, the maximum “Signal quality” acheived is only about 43% and “Signal power” is about 91%.
Is there any way to increase “Signal quality”, as the transmission quality suffers and stops when the quality some times go below 37%?
I understand that the “Signal quality” usually acheived is above 75%. Is it true?
I stay in KanjurMarg, Mumbai and the dish is placed on the window sill. Can some one clarify and suggest a suitable method to improve signal reception.
Thanks in advance.
Sitaram Dixit
Prax // April 1, 2009 at 1:35 pm |
Sitaram signal strength of 91 % is good so no cable faults
u havent alligned the dish accurately
u need to tune the dish much more accurately as 41% is low , also move the lnb round its axis and see which point u get an increase in signal
Sitaram Dixit // April 1, 2009 at 2:10 pm |
Prax thanks. What is the maximum % of “Signal Quality” you can achieve? Any idea. Regards,
Prax // April 2, 2009 at 2:35 am |
im achieving above 70% but generally also depends upon the lnb and box but anything above 55% is viewable most often but the best is 75 up
