What is DTH
In general, DTH service is the one in which a large number of channels are digitally compressed, encrypted, uplinked and beamed down over a territory from a very high power satellite. The DTH signals can be received directly at homes with the help of a small sized dish receive unit containing a Dish Antenna of diameter 60 to 90 cm installed at the building’s roof-top or on the wall facing clear south and one indoor
Set-Top-Box unit facilitating viewing of demultiplexed signals from DTH channel bouquet on TV set. The DTH signals can be received anywhere across the country irrespective of the terrain conditions provided the area comes under the footprint of the Satellite.
DTH transmission eliminates the intervening role of a local cable operator since a user is directly connected to the DTH service. DTH Transmission is most preferred in Ku- Band so as to avoid the need of larger Dish sizes for suitably receiving the DTH signals. As the DTH telecast is in the Digital mode, user is able to reap all the benefits of Digital transmission. Programs in the DTH bouquet are having higher resolution picture and better audio quality than traditional analog signals.
Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television is becoming a buzzword in the satellite broadcast industry due to the fact that DTH offers immense opportunities to both broadcasters and viewers. Thanks to the rapid development of digital technology, DTH broadcast operators worldwide have been able to introduce a large number of new interactive applications in the television market besides a large number of entertainment programmes over a single delivery platform. In addition, since digital technology permits a highly efficient exploitation of the frequency spectrum, the number of TV channels that can be broadcast using digital technology is significantly higher than with analogue technology. The increased number of television channels allows the operator to satisfy the demand of a number of niche markets with dedicated transmissions.
What is DD Free Dish?
Doordarshan’s DD Free Dish is a multi-channel Free-To-Air Direct to Home (DTH) service. This service was launched in December’2004 with the modest beginning of 33 channels. This service was inaugurated by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India. DD Free Dish has been upgraded time to time and at present Doordarshan’s DTH platform has the capacity of 64 SDTV channels along with 24 Radio channels. DD Free Dish is available in Ku-Band on INSAT-4B (at 93.5°E) having MPEG-2 DVB-S, 4 streams of channels with Downlink Frequencies -10990, 11070, 11150 and 11570 MHz. This Ku-Band DTH service provides the TV coverage throughout the Indian territory (except Andaman & Nicobar Islands). DTH signals can be received through a small sized dish receive system ( i.e. Set Top Box and Dish of size 60 to 90 cm in diameter) for which no monthly subscription fee is payable by the viewers.
A separate DTH service in C-Band with a bouquet of 10 channels has also been provided by Doordarshan exclusively for Andaman & Nicobar Islands, which is also Free-To-Air. This C-Band DTH service is available on INSAT-4B (at 93.5°E) with downlink frequency of 3925 MHz, 27500 Ksps, FEC-3/4, Pol-H, L.O.-5150MHz. This service can be received through a STB and small sized Dish Antenna (approximately 120 cm diameter) for which also no monthly subscription fee is payable by viewers.
Future of DD Free Dish?
Expansion of DD Free Dish has been carried out time to time. The present capacity is likely to be enhanced to 112 SDTV channels and 40 Radio channels in near future with the introduction of two new MPEG-4, DVB-S2 stream.
How DD Free Dish is different from other DTH systems?
Most of the DTH Services, operating all over the world and in India, provide paid DTH Service. In the paid service, the DTH operators uplink the encrypted TV signals to the satellite and the signals are received by subscribers through a Dish receive system having a Dish Antenna and one Customized Set Top Box (DIGITAL DECODER). By choosing the bunch of various desired TV channels viz-a-viz the respective payment plan options, subscribers are given a key-code to decode/decrypt the TV channels through customized set top box. The subscription charges for viewing these channels are collected by the DTH operator.
Whereas, DD Free Dish is absolutely different, as Doordarshan is not charging any monthly subscription fee from the viewers for complete bouquet of the DD Free Dish channels, making the system quite affordable for all as it requires only a small one time investment in purchasing of Dish Receive System containing Set-Top-Box and small sized Dish Antenna.
How to receive DD Free Dish?
Receive system of DD Free Dish contains three units: 1) One small sized Dish Antenna along with LNBF 2) Indoor Set-Top-Box (STB) also known as IRD (Integrated Receiver Decoder) and 3) Handy Remote control unit for STB. Dish Antenna installed at the roof top or on wall facing clear south receives the signal from satellite and transmits it to the indoor Set top box unit. The set top box further decodes the different TV channels from the DTH bouquet and feeds it to the TV set for viewing.
The complete DD Free Dish DTH system (Dish Antenna, Set Top Box and Remote control unit) is a one-time purchase from the open market with a nominal cost. There is absolutely no further recurring expenditure in terms of monthly subscription etc. for viewing DD Free Dish Channels.
Installation of the Receive System:
Installation of the DTH receive system is very easy and does not take much time. The viewers may take the services of skilled technical personnel to get the dish installed and oriented towards the desired Satellite, followed by tuning/configuring the Set-Top-Box unit. Dish Installation and STB-Tuning procedure is normally mentioned in the manual supplied by respective manufacturer along with their receive system. As a broad guideline, some of the parameters which may be required to be fed to the STB are indicated below.
Satellite in use:
INSAT series Geostationary Satellite INSAT-4B from ISRO is being used to provide the services of DD Free Dish in Ku-Band. Reception of DD Free Dish signal is available throughout the length and breadth of the Indian Territory except Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Thanks
if you need any more help about DTH you can tell me here I will try to solve it
June 23, 2008 at 12:20 pm |
good job ranajitkoley
for dth of DD, main thing for Prasar Bharti to do is
maintain all their currently shown channels,
dont change/remove it arbitrarily.
atleast hv one regional pvt channel for each major language.
for dth in general,
if the consumers dont get the choice of choosing a channel, n end up paying for the bouquet then what is the advantage of dth ovr cable except for clarity. even cable operator can gv clarity if u ask for stb to him.(even in non-CAS area)
for dth or even CAS to succeed in its true sense, they shud gv consumers chance to select an individual channel instead of bouquet and charged individually.
further channel groups shudnt discourage consumers going for individual channels like eg, if complete star package consisting of say 15 channels is charged for Rs. 75/- (ie Rs. 5/- per channel) then individual channel’s charge shud not b more than Rs. 10/- per channel.
further stb shud b interchangeable to different service providers like tatasky or dishtv or even ddd plus.

Definately you will get some of them from here after sending mail. I alredy sent maill all of them & PTC Punjabi replied that they will join DD Direct Plus soon. but they also says the DD has increase their carraige Fees from 25 lakh to 60 Lakh. Its the main problems to new comers. Thats why
1) Zee Jagaran
(2) Zee Smile
(3) Enter 10
(4) MH 1 Music (Only Pvt.channel from Starting time of DD Direct Plus)
(5) Time TV
(6) Win TV
quit from DD Direct Plus Platform. To get them al together you have to send a mail to Prasser Bharati also to decrese their carriage Fees. Where Reliance’s Big TV’s Carriage fee is nil
I request you to all please send mail to above mentioned email address to get something

January 2, 2009 at 12:59 am |
Sorry !
You cant get DD Direct Plus in Dubai. Please tell me are you getting Zee Tamil, Smile TV, 9X etc on your Dish TV . to see Indian TV Channels you have to use seperate minimum 6ft Dish for C Band. Then you can get lots of Indian TV Channels from Insat 2E/4A & also from Insat 4B (83 degree & 93.5 degree)
and also tell me how much signal are you getting in avarage from Dish TV. I think signal quality of Dish TV also poor in Dubai. its below 55%
and wish you and all Viewrs
Very HAPPY NEW YEARS
January 2, 2009 at 1:05 am |
One Good News for DD Direct Plus Users,
Now Play TV, Nepal 1, India TV, Zee Tamil, Fashin TV & Zee Smile are FTA from 12595 V 40700 TP
Zee Trendz is still FTA from 12728 V 27500
Sony PIX also FTA
so enjoy temporary FTA from Dish TV
I think Play TV, Fashion TV, Zee Trendz will remains as FTA permanently
January 3, 2009 at 5:38 am |
Dear Sir,
Here dish tv have a good signal quality. (more than 60 % & all the channels are very clear) .Also I know about Insat 2E & 4B, here a lot of people using.My question is in dish tv receiver or anteena can catch the dd dth signal. I think in india it is possible. If we are using seperalte anteena in insat 4B dd dth is available. Your mention all channels are available here in dish tv(zee).
January 4, 2009 at 11:53 pm |
If anybody can receive Insat 4B from your location then you also receive it through your existing Dish. for that please move your Dish towards left ( a few) with minimum signal quality of 12595 V 40700 ( 40 %). If you are in front of your Dish. I think you will get it otherwise call your nearest Service Expert from Dish TV to setup it again. I hope you will sure get it
January 12, 2009 at 10:25 am |

January 13, 2009 at 6:49 am |

January 13, 2009 at 2:15 pm |

LNB 2 10600
TP 12595
Symbol Rate : 40700

To watch Encrypted Channels ( Pay Channels) you have to pay yearly subscription to channels providers. And for that you have to purchase different STB with smart Card slot. through this card you can watch pay channels. To get smart card you have to contact channels Providers or smart Card Provider or Dreambox Suppliers

Dear,
If you wanted to watch only DD Direct Plus & free channels of Dish TV, you not need to change your software. Just move your Dish toward Dish TV/ DD Direct Plus and follow my 2nd Procedure. you will get all without paying anything to tatasky. If you think you will watch more (More C band Channels through your existing Set Top Box then change your Software of STB.
Better thing purchase a new Set Top Box of Beetel. Its very good in quality and Price is Rs. 1100.00 only . and ordinary Set Top Box is available in Delhi Local Market just for Rs. 650.00 . If you decide change your Software of STB you have to pay Rs 500.00 to Engineer for Software & his Service Charge
And I dont have any contact number of any STB Service person in Delhi
February 8, 2009 at 12:00 am |
Sir, Can U help me if I want to watch Peace TV using any STB Box without subscribing to any service provider as this is a FTA channel.Also help me regarding the size of the dish that I will be required to install for the same.
Yes you can get this channels easily from Intelsat 10 satellite. to receive this channels you need a 6ft Dish, one C Band LNB, required cable and a normal set top box
Price will be as follows
normal 6ft Dish Rs. 1600 to 4000 depends on quality
Ordinary set top box Price from Rs 650 to 1200
RG 6 or RG 8 cable as require you @ Rs 10 per meter
C band Duel LNB for Rs. 250 to 750 depend on quality. I proffered you take a 13K C band Universal Duel LNB which come for Rs. 550 (Approx)
here you will get morethan 60 Free TV Channels including India TV, Alzazira News etc

March 2, 2009 at 12:31 pm |
hi,
iam residing in Guduvancheri nearby chennai. iam using dd direct plus. two days back to check any new channel is added, i did auto scan in my set top box. it said space is full since same channels were present twice or thrice. so instead of deleting the channels which are repeated i thought its better to delete all the channels and do a new AUTO SCAN so that the earlier presend channels as well as new channels if any will also be present in the channel list in my set top box. But to my surprice channels like KBS WORLD, NHK WORLD and DW TV did not apper again in the channel list. i lost these international channels. can you tell what signal parameters i should put to add these 3 channels again. i need the signal info to type in ADD PROGRAM in my set top box. CGN TV channel is not lost. it came again whan i did auto scan. please help..
Dear Martin,
Please Tune 11490 V 27500 TP. you will get all 10 channels. all the DD TP are as follows
10990 V 27500
11070 V 27500
11150 V 27500
11490 V 27500
11570 V 27500
11090 H 29500 CGN TV
12595 V 40700 Zee Tamil, F TV India, India TV, Play TV etc
12728 V 27500 Zee Trendz
I hope it will help you to see all the channels
March 4, 2009 at 11:50 am |
hi
i got KBS, NHK and DW tv. thanks a lot ranjit.
Also i tried tuning 12595 V 40700 and got Zee Tamil, F TV India, India TV, Play TV. if you have any other information on channels which can be tuned in dd direct + kindly let me know.
March 4, 2009 at 11:53 pm |
always welcome
actually 12595 V 40700 signal is too poor. thats why you are not getting this. To get it 1st receive morethan 55% signal from 12728 V 27500 (Zee Trendz and 11490 V 27500 also with morethan 55%. Now try to get 12595 V 40700. I think you will get it at 15 – 20 % signal. now tune your LNB very slowly to increase the signal of 12595 V 40700. When it will reach more than 38% leave it and check all TP signal i.e. from 10990 V 27500 to 12728 V 27500.
I hope you get all the channels of DD Direct Plus & Dish TV (Only Free Channels)
for more update related with DD Direct Plus.see this blog regularly and if you need any help you can write me here

Hi,
i live in Oman, can i set frequency to watch PEACE TV in dishtv set top box. Will it be possible? i don’t want to buy saperate receiver for that?
Looking fowrard for your early and favorable reply,
Rgds –
Mashkoor
Sorry Dear ,
Its impossible. Because Peace TV is available in Intelsat 10 at 68 degree in C Band. And Dish TV’s both Set Top Boxes are not support another satellite or C Band LNB. To get this channels you have to take another Set Top Box
March 8, 2009 at 8:53 am |
can i watch c band channel through dd irect’s stb by using 60 cm dish & c band lnb ? Please sir help me.
Yes . you can watch C Band Channels through your existing Set Top Box but not with your 60cm C Band Dish. To see C Band Channels you need minimum 4 ft or more big Dish and a C Band LNB
March 10, 2009 at 2:30 am |

March 26, 2009 at 8:13 am |
hi
two weeks back malayalam channels like Jaihind tv, Kairali and tamil channel Mega tv were found though good sinal has got in my dd direct plus.
i learned that they are discontinuing from dd direct plus. From yesterday onwards KBS WORLD channel is not found in the desired signal parameter. Is KBS WORLD pulling out of dd direct plus? iam getting other international channels like nhk tv and dw-tv but KBS WORLD is not found. Is KBS WORLD discontinuing from dd direct plus or i can get this channel in different signal parameter?
March 26, 2009 at 8:15 am |
i meant… jaihind tv, kairali tv and Mega tv are NOT found.. its a typing error in my above post.
March 26, 2009 at 11:05 pm |
yes kbs world is also remove from dd dth
March 27, 2009 at 7:21 am |
kbs world is an extremely good channel. its painful to know that they discontinued from dd direct plus 24th of March,2009 onwards. its because of contractual issues between kbs world and prasar bharati. can we inform any authority regarding this to have kbs world back, as viewers choice and preference to have it. whom to contact and how to contact?
March 27, 2009 at 11:25 pm |
KBS World left DD Direct Plus. The main reason is
(i) Basically KBS World is a Pay Channels.
(ii) Prasar Bharati take too much from foreign Channels but there is no good traffic at all of KBS World
(iii) And also from now they will not more continued it in any satellite as FTA Channels. although still its available in Badr at 26 deg East from Europe & Meddle East
So forget about this channels.
March 29, 2009 at 10:54 pm |
is there any way to restart kbs world
March 30, 2009 at 1:29 am |
Its depends on Prasar Bharati. I think it will not join again DD Direct Plus. We can hope any new International Channels like it. you can personally send a mail to Prasar Bharati to return KBS World.
March 31, 2009 at 1:10 am
Inf anybody have interest to back KBS World , Please write 2 mail to both providers. i.e. send a mail to Prasar Bharati & also send a mail to KBS World TV Channels. The address are
(i) KBS World
KBS New Media Business Team,
#18 Yeuido-dong Yeungdeungpo-gu
Seoul South Korea, 150-790
E Mail : ryuhyosun@kbs.co.kr
and
(ii) DD Direct Plus
Doordarshan Bhawan,
Copernicus Marg,
New Delhi- 110001
E Mail : dddirect@dd.nic.in
: ddinews@doordarshan.gov.in
as per my experience if you write any mail to KBS World they will reply you very soon but Prasar Bharati never give you any reply. But who want to back again KBS World in DD Direct Plus Platform please write 2 mail
April 6, 2009 at 11:50 pm |
IS THE PEACE TV IS GETING IN DD DIRECT PLUS.PLS SEND ME THE FREQUANCY DETAILS OF PEACETV IN DD DIRECTPLUS
April 7, 2009 at 3:36 am |
No
Right now its available in Intelsat 10 at 68.5 deg only and available in C band. So you need minimum 6ft Dish for Peace TV. If it is available in DD Direct Plus I will inform you all in here
April 10, 2009 at 1:56 pm |
i am using dd dish can i use to watch manoranjan tv if yes please tell me lnb freq and other freq and if no what to do to watch it and it is possible to watch uk b4u movies
April 10, 2009 at 9:47 pm |
Its Impossible to watch Manoranjan TV through Ku Band (DD Direct Plus) but possible using DD Direct Plus Set Top Box. I mean if you use a 5 ft or more big C Band Dish you can watch Manoranjan TV inclusing all C band Free To Air channels from Insat 2E/4A. If you have mpeg 4 Set Top Boxes, you can watch B4U Movies India also as free (now only after a few days it will encrypted) from Asiasat 3S Satellite
Now C band Dishes also available anywhere in India & prices is also cheap If you Invest just Rs 3000.00 you can watch more than 200 Free TV Channels with lots of good channels
If you need any more help about C band Dish & reception system you can write me here
April 11, 2009 at 1:26 pm |
thanks for your quick reply one thing i want to make clear that i have to change dish to c band dish to watch manoranjan tv lnb and recevier will remain same.
do we any other movies channel in ku band in other satellite.
April 12, 2009 at 12:34 pm |
Always welcome
If you moved to C band Dish you can get lots of channels as an example you can see http://www.lyngsat.com/thai78.html here some good English Movie channels as free like Sterlite, Filmax, and http://www.lyngsat.com/in83.html and your existing DD Direct Plus from same dish. Only you nedd to collect C band LNB, DiSEqC Switch. you not need to buy any new STB. Your existing STB will work very fine. There is no any specific Hindi movie free channels except B4U movies & Manoranjan TV. Some entertainment channels also show Hindi movie
May 9, 2009 at 4:45 am |
hi,
i have dish tv stv,lnb and dish but no subscription . is it possible to watch
fta channels through above .
pls. inform me.
thanks
May 12, 2009 at 5:41 am |
Yes its possible to watch DD Direct Plus through your existing Dish TV Set Top Box without any subscription. There is 2-3 way to watch Free DTH using Dish TV. The process will be as follows.
1. you have to degrade you software version to 1.55 or 3.20 including firmware. in this version software unable to auto update so, you can watch only free channels after expiring your subscription period. If you subscribe again, you will get pay channels. If you want to degrade your software from any Dish TV Service Center, They never do it. You have to pay extra something (Rs 250 – 400) to service person personally to do that. But its illegal from Dish TV.
2. You can change its software & Firmware by any Set Top Box service person. If you do this one time, you cant get pay channels through this STB. Through this you can get only Free to Air TV Channels like DD Direct Plus. And it will work as DD Direct Plus Ordinary Set Top Box. Its the most easy way. For that you have to pay Rs 250 – 500 to service person
3 Another one process is very difficult, but you can do it. For this method you need one Active Dish TV VC Card. This process will avoid warning message “contact Dish TV” and channel locking. And finally no Set Top Box Engineer need. and you not need to pay any money to anybody to do this.
Follow this step very carefully to do it. If you unable to do it do it again. Hope you will success. After done please reply me the status
(i) Press MENU button on Remote Control Unit (RCU)
(ii) Goto Settings
(iii) Press Right Arrow Key to Goto STB Info Press OK
(iv) Goto Setup option by pressing RED Button
(v) Goto Restore Factory settings and Press OK (RED)
(vi) Ignore Warning message, “Warning, All your personal settings and all your channels will be lost!”
(vii) Press again OK (RED). This will erase all the channels of Dish TV and DD Direct+ already saved.
(viii) Now Press Power Button (RED) to Switch OFF, then again Press Power to Switch ON
(ix) Here, see message “303.NOT INSTALLED”,”No service installed, please install your Set-top Box by Pressing OK”
(x) Be Ready to manually DISCONNECT Dish Antenna cable from your Set Top Box, So loose the connection to make easy to DISCONNECT. then Press OK
(xi) The searching Menu will start searching channels starting from Home Frequency (12688/V/27500), then DD Direct+ Frequencies in series from 10990/V/27500, 11070/V/27500, 11150/V/27500, 11570/V/27500, 11490/V/27500….(then Dish TV’s frequencies), after this manually DISCONNECT Dish Antenna cable from your STB.
a) At the Searching Process Seeking bar might be at 37%.
b) The Total Channels Searched should be…..
TV channels: 68
Radio Channels: 23
Network services: 0
(xii) If can not able to DISCONNECT at right time, Press GREEN button to goto to STEP (ix) ,Do Again.
(xiii) After compliting 100% Search process, Now see warning Message indicating that,
“Warning, Some transponders were missed. Press red to install anyway,or yellow to rescan”
(xiv) Press RED button to Install Anyway
(xv) Then you will see the Empty Screen, Don’t confuse, Connect the disconnected dish antenna
cable to STB and just navigate the channels to see
only DD Direct+ channels on the Dish Tv’s STB firmware and Zee Punjabi, Zee Bangla etc (9 Encrypted Channels) may come as encrypted
Notice changes like…
1) Channels are arranged as DishTV’s channel No. series from Channel No: 113 – 9X to radio channels
2) When Switch On the STB, see channel “Gyandarshan 2” on Channel No. 997 as DEFAULT
channel at startup (like Dish TV’s “Dish Interactive” – Ch. No.999)
3) In this way you cant get Dish TV’s Free Channels like Zee Tamil
Important Note: You must have to insert active smart card (VC Card) to STB, at the time of channel search
(service installation). After complete the installation please remove your Active Card . This will avoid interruption of “contact Dish TV” during viewing.
Enjoy!!!… the DD Direct Plus more than 57 Free entertainment channels without interruption……..

hi,
i am using two dish . one is ku band and other is C band . i use thicom 5 and insat 4 b for dd direct plus . when i use two way disceqc switch i could not get all dd channels . i could receive just star utsab group 10 channels . how can i got all channels ? my seting is as 22 k off , lnb 1 for c band and 22k on , lnb 2 for ku band . plz help me .
June 8, 2009 at 10:18 am |
1st tell me how much average signal are you getting from DD Direct Plus ? In DD Direct Plus 11490 V 27500 is the weakest TP of DD DTH. When you set your Dish please make sure that this TP must have more than 55% signal strength. If you have more than 38% signal in this TP you will get all the channels from DD Direct Plus but sometimes you may faced week signal problems in this TP.
Here you told me that you are not getting Star Utsab and other channels like Music India, Zee Smile, B4U Music etc. To get this channels please search 11570 V 27500 and you dont need to turn on 22K switch, please turn of 22K switch from Thaicom. Now manually search 11570 V 27500, 22K OFF, DiSEqC – LNB 2. Hope you will get all channels. otherwise your DiSEqC switch is not working. try it replacing the switch
If you need any more help you can again write me here

Thanks Shekhar for your comments. You are always welcome
Martin, If you want to receive Ku Band Channels from any satellite you need minimum 40cm Dish. It may be Prime focus or offset Dish. but if you think for C Band you need minimum 100cm Dish to get signal. Practically a 5ft Dish can receive any C Band Channels. If you think I will get all V Band & Ku Band Channel will come in a Dish, you need a 6 ft or more big Prime focus Dish. Normayy in DD Direct plus we are using Offset Ku Band Dish, In all ATM Network we all are used 4ft or more big Offset Dish.
Deen , Signal strength of 11490 V 27500 is week than other TP. and another all TP’s signal is not more than 50% in your Dish. Thats why you are receive this problems.. SO please retune your LNB with 11490 V 27500, try to get morethan 45% signal from it. If you get 45% signal from this TP you will get all the channels of DD Direct Plus. But right now you dont have 25% signal in this TP. try to increse it fast
Hope all problems are solved if anybody have any doubt , can reply me. I will try to solve it

Dear Sir,
Recently bought a avermedia avertv satellite tv tuner( A816)(hybrid DVB-S) Inserted all settings values of satellite and LNB as mentioned but unable to receive any channels on clicking program scan. Can you please tell the LNB settings in detail:Input range of LNB, Low LOF, Switch frequency, High LOF and what is the switch type of the satellite-options are none, 22k, DiseqC, 13V/18V and none.
October 26, 2009 at 2:07 am |
Mr. Kashyap,
1st you need to synchronize your dish with a satellite. Means You have to receive a Satellite signal through your Dish & LNB, After that put details value like LNB1, LNB2, Transponder Frequency (TP), Symbol Rate, Polarization, 12V Mode, 22K Switch Search mode etc etc. If you not synchronized your dish with a satellite all the value will not work & you will get nothing
First fixed your Dish with a satellite using normal Set Top Box & TV Set. After that put this Value in the program of your TV Tuner Card
If you receive Ku Band Channels using normal DTH Like DD Direct Plus Then Value will be as follows
LNB 1 = 09750
LNB 2 = 09750
Transponder Frequency (TP) : 10990 (Put the TP Provided by DTH Provider or satellite Provider) Like 11070, 11150, 10490, 11570 etc
Polarization : V/H (as per frequency) In DD Direct Plus all are in V polarized
Symbol Rate = As per Frequency (In DD Direct Plus 27500)
12 V = OFF
22K Switch = OFF (If Transponder Frequency is more than 12500, it will be turned ON)
Search Mode : All (If you want encrypted channels also, otherwise Free)
Note : If Transponder Frequency is higher than 12500 then LNB Frequency will be 10600 in both
If you receive C band Channels through it Then both LNB Frequency will be 05150, TP, Pol & SR as per frequency. In C Band There is no function in 12V, 22K. But we can use 22k to add more than 4 satellite at a time
I hope this information will help you. If you need further help just write me. Definitely I will reply soon

ya.i am also geting etc punjabi through dishtv stb.but earlier you said that f tv,zee trendz channels are fta by dishtv.is there no way to enjoy these channels?or can it be enjoyed by replacing my stb by a fta type?plz help sir
October 26, 2009 at 2:10 am |
No Only FTA Channels will be abailable. Now Only Zee Tamil, ETC Punjabi are coming from Dish TV. If you like more FTA channels then go with C Band. I think its the best for Free TV, Where you can get DY365, NE Television, NE Hifi, Rang, News Live etc for free

Dear Ali,
In Dubai, Siganl of Insat 4B satellite is very week, thats why you are not getting this channels including all DD Direct Channels. If you previously receive this channels from your recent location, then purchase a new 0.3 db or 0.1 db LNB & replace your existing LNB. It may solve your problems.

If you have 4 Feet or more big Dish (120 cm or more big) you can get Peace TV & Noor TV from C Band LNB from Intelsat 10 Satellite as those all Channels are FTA Channels.

TO get those channels you Need 5 ft or More Big Dish
One 13K C Band Dual LNB
One FTA Digital Receiver
to get this Channel you need to synchronized your dish with intelsat 10 Satellite located at 68 deg East,
for those Channels LNB Frequency will be 05150
Frequency of that TV Channels as follows
Peace Tv 4116 V 8145
Q TV 3864 H 19890
Noor Tv 3808 V 10340
hope this information will help you, if you need further help you may write here

October 3, 2010 at 12:36 pm |
Dear Voleti,
Thanks for query. SBVC Channels is coming as a part of DD Direct Plus, but the signal Receive of Insat 4B satellite from your currect location is very hard. 1st tell me are you getting Kalaignar Tv & DD national from this connection or not. If you are getting those, you can get SBVC Channels also. Please ask any Dish Installer Engineers to fix your Dish Properly to get it. If you are getting DD National and other DD direct Channels but not getting Kalaignar TV then try to increase your Dish Size to get SBVC Channels. And finally if you are not getting any DD Channels from your Location, you cant get SBVC Channels.
I hope this information will helps you.
