need to adjust the dish

depends which satellite you are trying to reach.

simple logic is different satellites are at different orbits, ie the dish needs to be pointed at the particular satellite.

The centralized dish is pointed at Astro's satellite, so it isn't going to work with any other box.

thanks guys for the input, i think no way she can ask the management of her condo to point the dish to other direction without upsetting the neighbor.

Short answer is no. Cannot use.

Long answer, in a condo / apartment scenario these days, the dish is routed through a splitter network that will cause trouble setting up the box. Some, like my place, even use fiber networks that need additional hw to recode the signal back to what the decoders recognize. Even if you could repoint the dish, that network is gonna kill the signals you're supposed to receive.

Sell the box, get unifi / maxis / time fiber net and a droidbox instead.

Yes, you can connect the decoder to astro centralized dish socket, no need to adjust the dish because the free channel is also come from Measat satellite.
Free channel you are able to receive:
CCTV 4 (China)
NHK World Japan
France 24 English
DW English (German)
Channel News Asia (Singapore)
And most of the Indonesia TV
See. https://www.lyngsat.com/Measat-3a.html
(Those listed in yellow colour under KU band are free ones).

The reason is because of the polarity.
Those Indonesia TV use Horizontal polarity beam, but Astro use Vertical polarity beam (on Measat 3a satellite).
There is a small antenna in the feedhorn (the LNB head located at the focus point of the astro satellite dish).
This antenna is set to Vertical polarity to receive Astro signal and reject signal with Horizontal beam (Indonesia TV).

So, to receive Indonesia TV, you need to turn the LNB head 90 degree (clockwise or anticlockwise), this will change the antenna to receive Horizontal polarity beam (Indonesia TV).


But if you are using a shared centralised Astro dish in an apartment, you can't do that.
If you are able to access the dish and make the adjustment, all other people in your apartment will not be able to receive Astro.

You can install a private astro dish at you apartment's balcony or out side a window that facing to/has a clear view of the Measat 3a satellite.
