It would be better to check azimuth and elevation for Insat 4b at , from where sun direct moved to Measat 3. Now you can see the difference in azimuth and elevation for both satellite. Normally difference in azimuth is 3.3 degree Clock wise and 2 degree up for elevation
6. Change the direction of the Dish as per the parameters described in First section. As a thumb of rule just loosen the Nuts under the dish a little and move the Dish direction 3 degrees clock wise (just 1- 2 Cms away from North). Lift the dish (tip of LNB) up by 2 degree again around 2 cm movement. Mean while your attender should be monitoring the quality bar and if there is any movement adjust the dish for best quality. You should get quality more than 70 % and you may get upto 87% ( Even though you may receive channels for quality as less as 20 %, try for above 50%.Better the quality better the video and audio)
Hi suraj,
I tried your steps.I have changed the direction of dish following your instruction.In the final step I am facing some problems.If i select all transponders and click on scan, the scan is automatically get crashed and goto info channel.But if I am selecting first transponder,I am getting 172 channels.After sometime software upgrade starts,which is taking too much time and getting failed and restart upgrade again.Do you have any idea about this.I am already fed up with calling the customer care

Hi Sir,
Do the new measat-3 signals for sun dth has coverage in Qatar? My reception was ok before and i lost most of the channels in Qatar after moving to measat-3. I want to confirm about the coverage before trying the adjustments. Please clarify.
Sirs: When I did a factory reset on my Coship STB supplied by SunDirect people, all the Satellite Names had disappeared. Only one name which I had fed in is appearing. No facility to input new satellite name also is not there. How to get all those satellite names? Earlier the osd was showing Insat4 etc. That name is replaced by MeaSat as input by me. Please help.
Dear Suraj thanks for searching new sattelite measat3. Now all the transponder available in this direction and we are seeing all tthe chanels in this direction. Once again thanks for help me to this problem. This is a good platform to setting the new sattelite all of the sun direct subscriber to do it yourself.
@SAS3, If you reset set top box before setting it up for measat3, all the settings will be restored for Insat. If you already aligned dish and settop box is updated automatically, You will not get insat details. it will be resetted for measat. remove and reinsert card then switch on and try resetting
sorry suraj, i having all the TP value in Advance installation, but then also i m getting signal properly, i m getting all the channel, only few channel signal is very low, in 12316 h 30000 i m getting sigal 70% quality 44% in 12597 h 27500, 12563 h 30000 get signal 70% quality 25-30%. so only MTv,setmax,neo cricket, channel v, all those channel is not going for me, what can i do to get those channel.one of my friend told me its a sundirect party problem just wait they will clear the problem soon, and insat 4b serivce is not stop till now, after they stopped the service we will get all channel clear, like that he said. when that insat4b service should stop, sorry to distrubing pls help me
forgot to tell one thing, one month before i got setmax,sahara one, those channel clear, but 20days before only i m not getting signal for those channel properly, like that one day 12 clock india time, 12316 h 30000 full signal is gone, at that time mtv,channel v, bbc world came clear, after that morning again these channel signal gone, now i said what are problem i faced, very please clarify my problem, tech also tell after they stop service in insat 4b that only we get all channel propely, whether its correct.
i called to tech to allign the dish, he tell this much amount only quality will come, after in sundirect side problem clear we will get full signal, is it correct. i having doubt whether is it possible to get 80-90% quality will get in UAE, i m using 6 feet dish.
dear sir we are set the new direction for measat sattelite and also automatically update new software my home cast sn9000IR and now all chanels search but some free preview chanels are not search and not in list such as 9x,9xm news24, enter10, azad news,etc. so plz solve this problem sir.
sundirect is not yet fully migrated to measat3. Once the migration issue settles you eill get all the channels, Check your transponder list and confirm all frequencies are added
@syed you get an average signal quality strength of 55% in middle east. maximum till date in my knowledge is 67%
Hi,
Mine is a samsung STB, i tried changing the settings of home transponder . Default Network ID is 00018, I tried changing the values of freq to 12316 ,sym rate to 30000 and polarization to horizontal. With these settings , signal strength was 65% .I could see one channel (Gemini movies) that was stopped after satellite change. How ever many other channels were not found. I could not understand how to deal with step 2 on my STB, how can I add data of remaining transponders, looks like there is only one transponder setting on Samsung STB. Any Ideas about this? BTW am not able to down load samsung manual from the provided link, looks there is some issue with the website.
Thanks in advance,
Kris
another one help suraj, actually my friend using coship receiver, in that one my friend before setting the receiver he select factory restore, after that all the satellite name is delete then its showing only one satellite name, for that he set manually set a frequency and rename has a measat3, then getting signal, but what this the problem means he want all satellite name before how he got, so pls tell to get that one once again, whether is it possible to upgrade the software
no suraj, i m not want to get back for old insat signal, just i m telling u, before set a dish my friend select the factory restore option,after that in advance installation all the satellite name should be deleted,eg:arabsat,hotbird,so i m asking u can how to get back again that satellite names once again, it is possible
Thanks the detailed post. After following these procedure, I got strength 68% and Quality 100% in in 12316 H 30000 but I am not getting few channels like DD national(for India Vs NZ cricket) and Jaya TV. I dont have manual feeding option for other frequencies. Mine is Samsung STB.

Sir, I am using opentech stb. But unable to edit the parameters.After pressing menu, i have gone to installation and then edit tp.Then unable to edit the parameters.Green colour key on the remote is not opening any new window.Only red colour key is highlighted. Kindly advice
Thanks
Reji
Thank you Suraj,
I realigned successfully.At first after re-alignment upgrading software was failing.Then we guessed it was due to signal quality(40-45%).Now again realigned slightly to get quality of 75-80%.Now Upgrade was finished perfectly.We are getting almost all channels.
Hi Suraj,
I have Samsung DSB-B580R receiver. I gone the through the manual which you have mentioned above. Its not mentioning about how to set the Freq and all.
Kindly help me.
In the Transponder menu I am getting below options.
Hi Suraj, Saif here, further to my previous post regarding "e50-32 no service available" and the display is 8888, i would like to tell you that I did delete all the transponders and added one by one, the signal is bad and scan could not find any channels. is my problem because there are no channels in the system? I hope to see your reply as I am a newbie in the dish setup. by the way my box is coship and the firmware is updated.
First of all thanks to you all for encouraging comments. @ Samsung user, you need not worry about network ID. after entering the Fr, Symbol rate etc. you have to physically Adjust the Dish (follow the steps described in the main post).
@Saif "e50-32 no service available" means your STB is blocked. Solution is to upgrade the software (firmware). If you could edit the TP and Frequency in advanced settings, Edit it and enter the main frequency (12316) and its associated parameters, align the dish and restart the STB. Software will automatically updated.
If its not possible get it manually updated from sundirect dealer.
Thank you very much for starting this thread. I have been trying to contact Sundirect for the past 2 months. No response. I could do it myself based on your guidance and Mr. Viswanath's. I will try to spread this message and all the credit goes to you people.
