Insat 4B - Updates

nmohanraj · 15-05-2007

In the website, www.ddindia.com, they have specified about the new frequencies for TP and Symbol rate along with polarization for the migration from NSS-6 to INSAT-4B from June 1st, 2007. But what will be the LNB frequency for the new satellite (previous values are 10600 and 09750 )

That is right Harish. But what will be the LNB frequency ?

Can anyone specify the LNB frequency for DTH (DD-FTA) for INSAT-4B tranmission from June 1st, 2007 ?

There won't be any change in LNB frequency settings as it is a Universal LNB setting.

User have to do only following:
1) turn the dish 1.5 degree's (azimuth) and even i think they have to change the angle at which dish is pointing towards sky (elevation).
2) Next thing is enter the previous thread specified 5 transponder frequencies and tune to new signal.

Dear Mr. Raj,
Turning the dish 1.5 degree's (azimuth) means turning it clock wise or anti-clockwise ?

I am using Calvin DTH Set-top box and antenna for viewing DD's FTA programmes. Can I use a Set-top box with a card facility for viewing specific channels alone (For eg. Ten Sports alone) ? Is a set-top box available with inserting card facility (prepaid card for viewing a specific channel) ?

Hello Bro, there are many set top avail for card using, But for you a specific channel ten sports, Ten sports is only avail to dth and cable oprators. No for independent persons.

Pls see the SatcoDX updates for 4B
**tp://66.132.244.239/0936/eng/
But there the channel name is DSNG BHOPAL.Other para are same.The TP is seen at 06.49 today morning as per the site.

That is the self scan ...! This morning...!

"To get the signals from the new satellite, each antenna has to be rotated (with the person standing behind the dish antenna) clockwise by 1.5 degree to the right and tilted up by 1.5 degree.

**member91040** · 17-05-2007

To get insat 4b No need to turn you dish, The signal fall on the positon of nss6 .

Present Nss6 Signal Strength 85 %
Insat 4b Signal Strength 75%

Dear Mr. Ramesh,
1) What channel is being telecast in Test signals ?
2) What is the Signal strength in your DTH system for INSAT-4B transmission ?

Thanks for your valuable information. Yes, there is no need to turn the dish for getting Signals from INSAT-4B. Just by using the AUTO SCAN option in my DTH system, I can view the channel DSNG BHOPAL I did not change the dish position. But is that signal from INSAT-4B or NSS-6 ? Can anyone confirm ?

It is not at all needed. From the existing position we can get the transmission from INSAT-4B

DD News is being telecast in the test signal.

I hv not tried 4B yet........not getting time....will do it by end of this month only....once everything is set........don't want to disturb the present setup... i doubt whether 4B will give the same crystal clear pic n sound like NSS6 !!!!! let us hope for the best !!!!!

Can somebody confirm that the test signal is a continuous one?Whether some skew adjustment is required for LNB?

Dear, in digital transmission, sound and picture quality does not depend on the satellite. It depends on the compression used by the DTH operator. Be assured, INSAT 4B EIRP (transmission power) in India will be at par with(if not better than) NSS6 EIRP. Why do we doubt our own abilities and think that foreign things are always better?

Thanx dear for yr info .......i never doubt our own abilities......just had a feeling because of the changeover.....

nmohanraj · 18-05-2007

Can anyone inform whether the new channel DSNG BHOPAL is originating from NSS6 or INSAT4B ? Bcos, I am able to view this new channel, without changing my dish position, just after using the AUTO SEARCH option in my DTH system.

it is from 4B.......may be we don't need to adjust the dish...like our friends said inthe earlier posts....it is good for everyone....only thing is % of signal strength matters.
