HI,
I am using Samsung (P1, P2, P3 & G2) Setup box, i have configure as per the above. And i am getting few channels and remaining channels i am getting E48-32 No Singals. I have called customer service, they said some thing needs to be done from the back end team, but there is no response from the back end team from the Sundirect. Could you please suggemet me what do more configuration from my end to get complete channels.
Regards,
Manohar
We also need to rotate LNB slightly in order to get all the channels on Sun Direct DTH from new satellite.
I have tried the alignment procedure given in the above replies. But I was not able to receive few channels and the channels details were getting downloaded every time I switch on the STB.
I did a small research on the satellite position and did some more alignment which is not given in any of above replies. Finally I succeeded with signal strenght 79% to 84% and quality 94% to 99%.
The complete procedure is giving at Ambience: Sun Direct – Dish Realignment Procedure.
The procedure for samsung box worked perfectly. The frequency to be set as 12316, symbol rate as 30000 and polarity as horizontal. If now you are getting quality above 20 you will be able to receive channels without dish adjustment. if quality is zero or less than 20%, Keep the TV and set top box on and ask some one to watch the screen for ‘quality bar’.
i have sundirect set top box DSB B580R.
I AM NOT ABLE TO CHANGE MY FREQUENCY AND SYMBOL RATE
SO PLEASE GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTION

Sundirect has all its HD channels in INSAT4B (DVB-S Orbital Position: 93.5E, Frequency: 11.030 GHz) and moved most of the SD channels to MEASAT. I am in Bahrain, I am using Sundirect HD STB Samsung DSB-5090R with 8ft dish it gives 100% signal strength and 45% to 55% signal quality. All SD channels I am getting clearly but for HD channels there is no signal and some channels shared with Reliance the signal quality is poor. How to set the dish for both MEASAT & INSAT for HD & SD channels ? I know in India they are getting both HD & SD channels. With great difficulty we have set the 8ft dish to MEASAT even a little disturbence in direction will affect the signal quality. Please help.
