Is your dish fixed or motorised? (it will need to be pointed at Vinasat1).
I think the ST2000F is only DVB-S and many of the Vinasat1 channels are DVB-S2, so you would need to obtain a DVB-S2 satellite decoder to view the DBV-S2 channels.
See Lyngsat for available channels:

Hi Long,
At present, HTV from vietnam broadcast the following channel on Vinasat 1 C band: HTV7,9, Thuan Viet, Ca nhac, phim, phu nu, du lich, FNBC. these channels are MPEG 2, 4 and need a satellite box capable to decode H.264. Check your box specification, I am afraid that it is not capable to watch the HTV channel.
VTV1,2,3,4,6 currently broadcast non HD but I have been advised from Vinasat 1 that from April, VTV will introduce MPEG 4 similar to HTV.
To conclude, to view vietnamese channels on Vinasat 1, you need a satellite box capable to watch MPEG4/HD and can decode H.264. Your dish shall be 2.3m, the larger the better, 3m is recommended.
You can engage a satellite technician, who can adjust the dish for you, I have engaged one in Perth and he charge me $120, it only takes him less than an hour to do it as he has suitable equipment to track and check the satellite signal. If you do it yourself, it may take 3hours or more.
Good luck
Hey guys.
For some reason, even after tweaking the dish, I am still unable to get any HTV channels but I managed to get another channel called NCM which appears to be a soccer channel. It's only available for a few hours a day.
The signal quality on NCM is about 75-80% whilst on the normal VTV channels are about 53-58%. I find this pretty weird. Anyone else have a similar situation?
ml2noodle is your decoder capable of both DVBS2 and Mpeg4? It will need to do BOTH to get those channels.
Uh Oh Oooops!
For some reason, there has been no signal for HTV7,9,Thuan Viet, Ca nhac, Du Lich, Phim, Gia Dinh, Phu Nu since Saturaday, I wonder if anyone can pick up the signals in Australia?
I contact HTV in Vietnam and they confirm there is no maintenance on their site but no comments/reply from Vinasat 1

wow it's like they flicked the switch on those channels. I only just scanned them in on the weekend! I can see what probably are data services so the sat hasn't fallen out of the sky!

Leroy,
I can only watch VTV1,2,3,4,6 and VOV, the other channels HTV7,9, Thuan Viet, Ca Nhac, Phu Nu, Du Lich, Phim, Gia Dinh appear to be offline.
I still do not receive any response from Vinasat 1 but HTV has confirmed there is no technical issue on their side. What channels can you pick up by the way
Regards

Leroy,
I found the problem for the loss of HTV signals on my box, it happened when I did the blind scan and for some reasons, the TP SYM rate changed to 45.000 Ms/s instead of 14.800 Ms/s, I changed it back manually last night and did the scan again and it works ok now, I can see all the channel ok
Thanks for your assistance. Do you pick up the NCM channel by the way, I add the TP and did the scan but I can not pick up that channel, it was listed on Lyngsat
Regards
Leo
As far as I know Vinasat 2 will go to 131.8E and is all KU
I doubt it
i am in the west, and have been watching htv channels for 6 months, i know for facts that it's entirely dependent on your lnb if you have a 2.3m mesh dish, this particular lnb has run out of stock.i did manage to kept a few. but however, its also the precision of you lnb position and dish alignment.

Hello Cong.,
Can you tell me which LNB you are talking about? I'm in Mel with a 2.3m dish but signale quality is not really good. Can this LNB you're talking about help with signal quality or do I need a 3m dish?
Thaanks!

Have to agree there.
Unless it's a very tight-tolerance phase-locked-loop LNB ($$$) then most 'standard' LNB's will have similar performance.
That extra few dB from a larger dish can make a huge difference with marginal signals.
The same with accurate alignment and skew adjustment.
Hi there,
You can receive C band from Vinasat1 almost anywhere in Australia( except for some isolated part in WA) with a 2.3 m dish and YES all the VTV and HTV plus VOV channels are still free on air.
You will need a Mpeg4 receiver such as: Strong 4930 or Strong 4669X. you can pick one upfrom eBAY for $160. The best LNB for Vinasat1 is Strong brand as it more compatible with the signal.. I have tried many different one( the signals keep on/off).
Everynight, if you blind scan you may pick up some more local( Vietnam) live channels as well- only lasted for a day
FYI, I live in Perth the signal i get on my 3m dish is 85%
Hi All,
I'm from Sydney Australia and have been watching VTV 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 for the last couple of years.
Just found out that there are free HTV channels now to watch, so i called the same techie up who installed the dish for me before for a quote. He said it requires a complete new setup, he has to re-run the cable, and will cost about $1,500 AUD.
I've been reading all the post on this forum though i'm not sure if i can do this by myself instead of paying $1,500.
The size of the dish installed at my place is 1.6m in diameter, will this able to pick up HTV channels? Also current reception of VTVs channels at my place is not very good as i live close to Sydney airport.
Can someone tell me if it's worth for me to make the change? or i have no choice but to live with what i have?
Many thanks
Steve
