Welcome to DDF and Sat tracking world!

For getting Insat 4A, you need to set up the dish in Tata Sky direction.

If your dish is already set up and pointing towards D2H, it is very simple to move to Tata Sky.
- Move the dish upwards by two points.
- Move the dish (by standing in front of the dish) left side about 3 to 5 centimeters.
- Adjust the LNB (by standing in front of the dish) by skewing anti-clock wise and set it at 32 minutes.

Hope this helps.

Bro, Tata Sky channels are coming from INSAT 4A and GSAT 10 where both are co-located at 83 degree east. From INSAT 4A Ku band, only Tata Sky channels are available which you cannot view. But there are C-Band channels available and I guess some of them are FTA too. If you get Tata Sky channels, then you can get C-Band channels in same dish alignment. But you need to configure your satellite profile as C-Band and have to use C-Band LNB.

Hi MJ,

I have configured the TP's in my solid receiver and I tried blind scan ...since configured tp's of Insat 4A doesn't giving any channels ....when I did a blind scan's I am getting around 485 Tata sky channels of tp's starting with11XX.Kindly give the details for this "But you need to configure your satellite profile as C-Band and have to use C-Band LNB" .Since I have used the same lnb for abs2 which doesn't have an active signal in that satellite. now I am trying to tune for insat 4A....kindly give the lnb position degree..so that I can give a try..any tips are welcome from other members too.

I am using the DTH antenna that is 2 feet and I am getting almost 500+ Tata sky channels but not even one free to air channels ...whether its possible to get free to air channel of Instat 4A in 2 feet dth dishes...Experts give you thoughts and experience/tips to share....
