Spending 150 Rs is not a big deal. But I don't want to waste my money and time with less knowledged and inefficient technician and CC...

As of now getting all channels I am watching....
Only non watchable channels getting on that tp

open the elevation screws... and move d dish, just 1-2 mm downwards, then check d signals.

My suggestion is to do it yourself on a day you are not likely to watch anything important on TV so if you lose signal you can call the technician. In my view its not difficult because each bolt/screw has different movement so you can easily fix it without too much fiddling.

You will need a spanner or similar tool to loosen bolts and a screwdriver in case of screws. There are basically only 2 ways to adjust a dish if you ignore the lnb skew.

1. Elevation. Which is the up down angle of the dish. In the case of 11480 V transponder only loosening this bolt is required to get signal and moving it downward by a minute amount.

2. Azimuth is the left-right rotation and fine tuning 11480 V does not require adjustment to this rotation. So no need to rotate the dish for your problem.

So basically you need to loosen the bolt lower the dish by a microscopic amount and check the signal. I am currently getting above 10 yellow bar signal quality in Hero STB. You can mark the current elevation angle with pencil before proceeding.

Honestly speaking it's a simple task. Anyway when testing signal make sure no one's hands are not touching dish as it grounds the signal and weakens it.

Yes loosen both of these a bit then it will start moving within that groove. No need to remove fully.
