I have a satellite dish pointing at Asiasat 3s and i kinda bored with the channel.I'm thinking of adjust the satellite dish to point at another satellite.Any idea how to do that?Which satellite should i point?

SATELIT PUAKA!!!!

http://www.dishpointer.com/

if u know how to point to Asiasat 3s then what's the problem?

may be ChinaSat 6B at 115.5°E, lots of channels from china, how big is your dish, you may need 1.8m dish for this satellite to receive complete channels

or Palapa D at 113.0°E, lots of indo channels, 1.5m dish

pointing you dish to the right satellite is quite involved, pick you satellite first then do the next step: calculate the satellite dish angles

you can pick a satellite here http://www.lyngsat.com/asia.html

hey i need indian channel which satelite do i need it
like country Indian
i at penang if i get good satelite can i get indian channel a lot full ?????

AsiaSat 3S at 105.5°E got a few indian channels, one of them is STAR Utsav, got web site too http://starutsav.indya.com/

for other indian channels, go here http://www.lyngsat.com/AsiaSat-3S.html

Someone install for me the satelite when i first bought it.How do we know that which satelite signal can we receive in my area(kelantan)?I think my satelite dish is 1.5m.

go to this list http://www.lyngsat.com/asia.html
look inside each satellite, then click on transponder footprint, if it's beam cover over malaysia, then you can receive the channel

so what sort of channels are you interested in watching? these Free-to-ar channels are very limited in selection, some avalable channels are in language such as Siam, Indo, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkian, Hakka, Indian, Pakistan, ......

are there any thing like motorized rotating motor like the one used on rotating antenna that can be installed on the dish so that we can adjust the dish without climbing on the roof?I actually thinking of pointing my dish to Thaicom5.

yes there is, but is a bit pricey, this motorised add-on you can ask your installer, I think it is readily available in Thailand

but the trend now is to install multiple dishes each pointing to separate satellite, then hook up all the dishes to a DiSEqC switch

Wah,1 satellite also don't know where to hide liao.How they managed to hide many satelite?What about the dream box or magic box thing?any different from ordinary china decoder?

those dreambox thing is for watching encrypted channel

for motorised dish I don't know much about it, I think you need to change the whole dish and decoder, ask your installer

magic box? what is that?

If you want to DIY pointing to another satellite, I may help you a bit, but as I said in previous post, it is a bit involved, not for the faint-hearted

as for English FTA channels, quite a lot in asiasat 3s, other satellite such as Intelsat 8 at 166.0°E got 2 channels only: BBC world news and Australian network channel, very limited selection

or subscribe to astro, plenty of english channels

I understand that the dreambox needs smart card and also internet connection,why do we need it?And there are monthly fees but who are we paying to?Why do we need to pay monthly?

usually the box is used to watch pay satellite TV illegally

After i terminated my astro byond last year the decoder is lying there in the av cabinet collecting dust and my satelite dish outside collecting rain water.

Is there any free HD channels for the satelite list?

Lyngsat is a good site to check on the available channels including free to air channels.

First you have to check if you are using C-band or KU-band LNB.

You only need to use motor if you plan to receive signals from different satellite transponder. In order to use motor, you got to have a universal decoder that support this. I have seen people installing both C-band and Ku-band LNB on a motorized antenna.

wow, the second photo is very special. I don't understand this setup. .
Are you trying to get three different transponder with different positioning of LNBs on a single antenna? The offset antenna has a focal point where the signal is optimum. Signals are degraded when the LNB are not placed at the focal point. With the small Astro dish, I wonder how good is the receiving signals especially when weather turns bad with Ku-band.

How can i do this?D.I.Y. or how?but the parts are difficult to find.Even the decoder people don't dare to sell it under broad daylight.
