[QUOTE="BombedOne, post: 577033, member: 300998"] There are two satellites at 93.5E position, Insat 3A and Insat 4B. According to coverage maps, 3A covers only India in C band, while 4B has much wider beam. _http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/in3a_indiac.html _http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/in4b_ecc.html I've aligned my 2.4m prime focus mesh dish to that satellites couple of days ago, but was not able to perform detailed testing, since there was no cable going to my receiver from it. Today I've installed cable, and surprisingly, I was able to receive most of Insat 3A C band beam! Signal strength on some transponders was 90%, which is very good for SkyStar 2.3i, since lowest treshold for this card is 28% - below it picture becomes unstable. You can check the list of channels I was able receive from this satellite at attached picture. I was able to get even more frequencies, just there were feed frequencies, and no channels currently on them. Regarding Insat 4B - all transponders are receivable in my zone using this set-up. at weekend, I'll try to install Ku band LNB to this dish, and check for coverage of Ku band frequencies also.
