New Sat Setup

**bouncer05** · 21-07-08, 10:31 PM

Hi guys,

i currently have a dish pointing to C1 for Oz$tar using Openbox which is great... What i want to know is im wanting to get some indian channels for my girlfriend, i was told there are a couple of birds AsiaSat 4, AsiaSat 3S and Insat that i can get FTA indian channels in Melbourne, what i want to know is can i use a 1.20M dish or do i NEED a 2.5M dish? also is there a special LMB i will need for these birds? also can i use any STB do get these FTA channels? also prolly not possible, but can i use 1 STB but 2 dish's to receive channels (this one isnt important as i do have 2 STB's just the other questions are more important)

Thanks

Hi Bouncer,

Can I start by saying, I know very little about these Satellites, and I'm hoping one of the pro on this forum will chime in and correct me.

Having done some googling I found this in reference to AsiaSat 3S if I'm reading it right it would appear that it is definitely a C band satellite but it mentions KU footprint so might be able to use your current dish.

Also found this link which may explain abit more

Hopes this helps a little

No TV services on Ku from AsiaSat 3S can be received in Australia. There is a data service but it is non DVB-S so your satellite receiver won't find it.
