Theoratically it seems possible with 6 ft dish,I recommend 8 ft solid dish,however,ku reception is always mysterious;sometimes it spills over to those area not covered at all like hotbird being received in India,many other times it has no reception in the area supposedly covered.
I advice not to take the maps for granted.

Hi Srei,

recently I bought 4ft dish/FTA STB and C band LNB. Now I able to get the signal using this configuration, but not sure what and how to received usung my SUNDIRECT STB ? Need KU Band LNB ??? or something else, with my current C band/4"/FTA STB, I able to get all Doorshan channels (very good quality)...

In SUNSTB you cannot receive any other TPS as in that STB entering TP is not allowed

Is it a solid dish or a mesh dish? If its mesh its not suitable for Ku band,.

[sshaik]

It is 4ft solid dish...pls guide me how to adjust and align with KU band...

Bro sshaik,The signal of ku appears to be concentrated to India.Pl check whether you are able to receive ku signals from the satellite with the help of FTA receiver,replace c band LNB with ku LNB and check.If you are able to receive11570 V27500 DD channels,then ku is receivable in your location,otherwise no hope.
