Sun Dish Alignment to MeaSat

Hi Friends,

Today morning I have done Sun direct Dish alignment on my own and completed the process successfully. I had approached my dealers many times for aligning the dish but they have never responded properly. Before getting into the process, I would like to thank Mr.Sathish,Dish technician from Madurai, who has shared his knowledge with all of us in aligning the Dish and tuning of STB with videos and photos.. Thanks a lot Mr.Sathish..I have spoken with you yesterday and the information provided by you was very very useful.

I have COSHIP CDVB 6750 STB in my home and it was one of the STBs installed by SD while launching the DTH service. Let me explain the process I have done in my STB & Dish to tune it to MeaSat. If possible, pl take your TV set near to Dish antenna.(I have done like that only so that we can tune the dish very accurately).

  1. With the existing dish position, go in to “Advanced installation” mode in the menu. There you can see number of satellites programmed which includes “SAT” ,“INSAT4B”, etc…
  2. Go into “SAT” or any one of the first 2 satellites programmed in the menu.
  3. Delete the all existing TPs loaded in that particular satellite menu.
  4. Add new TP with the following parameters.

Frequency: 12316

S/R: 30000

Polarisation:Horizontal

  1. Save the TP. Now you will see Signal quality as Zero..
  2. Now start the scanning of this TP by clicking the scan button. You can see a scan window with “Signal level” and “Signal Quality”. But these values will be zero or very low..
  3. Now you have to align the dish as follows.
  4. First unscrew the bolts which give up & down movement of dish. Then slightly move the dish upwards by 2mm.You can see the signal level and signal quality starts increasing. Hold the point where you achieve more and slightly tighten the bolts.(Note: I have achieved 41% Signal level and 62% signal quality at this stage).
  5. Now unscrew the bolts which give sideway movement of dish. Slightly turn the dish towards right hand side while you stand at the backside of dish. Now you can see the signal level & signal quality increases. Hold the point where you achieve more level and quality and tighten all the bolts.(Note: I have achieved 41% signal level and 91% signal quality!!!. I have used the old cable wire which I had in home for this alignment and after connecting through the cable provided by SD, signal level has gone up to 73% and signal quality remains same at 91%)..
  6. Then start the scanning process. You can see all the channels in all the available TPs will be loaded in the STP(No need of including the individual TPs). I have seen app.176 channels loaded in the STP. Immediately, NEW SOFTWARE was also installed in my STP.
  7. That’s great know.. Now all the program details are coming in the display and Vijay TV,Raj Tv,etc…are available!!! But NO RADIO Channels available.
  8. I have put some pictures also for your easy reference. We, educated people can do this on our own and need not depend the SD people because they are not committed and they are taking Rs.50 to Rs.350 for doing this..I have planned to do this work on free of cost to my neighbors and relatives who are uneducated, if SD don’t attend this problem.

எனது பார்வையில்....பெங்களூர் பயணம்

எனது பெங்களூர் பயணம் இந்த முறை கொஞ்சம் வித்தியாசமான அனுபவமாகவே இருந்தது..EHS summit 2010 என்ற செமினாருக்காகவும் இன்னும் பிற(!) வேலைகளை முன்னிட்டும் பெங்களூர் செல்ல வேண்டியிருந்தது..பல தரப்பட்ட மனிதர்கள் பல்வேறு தேசங்களிலிருந்தும் வந்திருந்தார்கள்..செமினார் என்னவோ வழக்கம் போல்தான்(!!)..திரும்பவும் காலேஜ் வாழ்க்கைக்குள் வந்துவிட்டோமோ என்று கூடத் தோன்றியது....அதெல்லாம் சரி..விசயம் என்ன என்று நீங்கள் வினவுவது கேட்கிறது.
இணைய தள பிரபலம் “பரிசல்காரன்” அவர்களை இந்த செமினாரில் சந்தித்ததே அந்த வித்தியாசமான அனுபவம்..அவரை சந்தித்த பிறகே, இணையதளத்தில் எழுதும் ஆர்வம் எனக்குள் உண்டானது..அதன் விளைவே இந்த BLOG ம், இந்த அறுவையும்!!!!
