Hello friends, I have recently developed interest in DTH and FTA setup as I had a 21" LCD laying along with my old dishes and wires. So, I connected them all and tried to make an affordable setup in our guest room in the village.
Thanks to the person who was supposed to setup my dish and a borrowed old mpeg2 stb for me, he didn't show up. So, I started researching and learnt many things. First, I just pointed a dish to DDFD at G-SAT 15 (93.5E) and then I purchased a MPEG-4 box as I found on DreamDTH that DD HD is coming (Though I only watched it for a day, as I got the box on 10th Jan and by 11th evening it was scrambled). There were channels which were not available in DDFD anymore which people used to watch, so I tried to catch ABS-2 (75E) and experiment. I succeeded and was getting Aastha, Aastha Bhajan and NewsX which were important and watchable for us. I don't get a single Eng News on my paid TataSkyHD, so it was something i liked very much. Then I decided to use a DiSeqC switch after some research and got one from Amazon. Which allowed me to watch G-SAT15 and ABS2 channels together.
Here are some pictures of my Dish setup --
The one with d2h name is catching G-SAT 15 and DishTV one is catching ABS2.
I have a Weston HD MPEG4 Set Top Box which is working smoothly with an HDMI cable to my LCD. I will post some pictures and screenshot of the interface in STB later sometime.
As I am all new to this, so all suggestions and knowledge is welcome. Thank you
--------------- UPDATE (30/01/18) ------------------
Some pic of STB and screenshots as promised before --
Now, Here are my settings for G-SAT 15 and ABS2, I also have added NSS6(95E) and a TP from it which gives ZeeNews and ZeeNews+ (half n hour delayed like in TataSky) temporarily. It catches from same G-SAT 15 dish.
Also, for @ANBUKKANI I have added the Satellite ABS2 again as TEST and searched all channels. So here is the list of all the channels I get on ABS2.
Let me know if you need any other info or have any suggestion.
