dinakar407 · 26-11-2006

Hello to all professionals out there I am from Hyderabad India i ve been through the site apnadth.com i was quite impressed by the c band combo dth. icalled the callcentre tey said we can recieve the signals from asiasat3s using c band lnb and nss 6 using ku band .they said it has a disecq switch .My question is that if i can receive singnals from other satellite which are stronger than that of the asiasat 3s.. i know how to align the dish to a particlar satellite . I will use the sattracker on the lyngsat.com.. please suggest If I can buy that and fiddle around with that to receive fta channels in the c band and ku band.I know that it has 90 cms antenna.

Unless the C-band signals are very strong you may well find 90cm is a bit small for good reception.

You can browse thru lyngsat/satcodx for details of the footprint and dish sizes.If you can invest for a big dish you can track more satellites.I think it is not worth going for the combo dish from Apna DTH as the Asiasat has only a few channels to see for Indian viewers except Sahara in C band.My opinion is to invest for big dish to receive sats like Insat which are meant for Indian viewers only.

No my intention is to receive signal from pas 10 which has a stronger eirp rating that asiasat3s in my area .. asiasat has got around 33 and pas 10 has 39 that according to the charts.. i think i can receive them right?

No - 39dBW on C - band requires a dish about 1.7m in diameter!

If thats the power level at your location you arent going to get anything on a 90cm dish.
