Hi Mj,
Greetings!
I am using Samsung DSB-B580R SD and can you please let me know what parameters needs to be changed. I changed the HTP settings to 12316 H 30000, but the signal and strength is 0 %. Please advise me the correct THP settings asap.
thanks for your help.

@ Followadream,
I guess your Dish is facing Insat , it should be facing Measat to receive the signals.

Hi,
You have mentioned a lot to be changed, but where is the details to be changed, what frequency we need to manually enter from the remote, without these details, this blog is of no use.
we are happy that someone knows how to get rid of this proble, but we need your full help in this.
regards,
I tried this on samsung hd box. It is not working.
To Anand, I already put the TP details and once you have signals it will find other TPs automatically.
Also some boxes may be not ready, so wait for 1-2 days to see new software upgrade in your boxes.
with the effect of new SAT, will the signal availbale in gulf countires. Lot of people having SUN receiver but no working properly.
if bigtv is wokring fine in gulf with same frequency and 240 cm, then sundirect will work. Only they have to give required software update. Right?
can i get HD also in gulf?
whether official confirmation about changing made?

I have tried this with Samsung HD. It is working. If your dish is aleady pointing to MEASAT you dont need to change its position. If your installation is successful you get new home screen with Green tick mark. The quality appears better than old one. But some channels are still missing/scrambled.
I also received an SMS from SunDirect Technical teams on this procedure.

How to align dish of sun direct in Jubail for measat.Here all technicians are getting signal on old satellite.
Dear Khaleel, I also faced the same problem. after searching for the signal the screen returns to the main menu. I thought it was problem with STB. I brought the technician and he got signal in his receiver. But no signal in my receiver. He could identify the problem. He changed the LNB and immediately the problem was solved.
No need to change the dish position.You can get signal from both the satellites without realignment. Simply put the following values using the numeric key of the remote. Frequency-12316 symbol rate – 30000 FEC-5/6 (Not required if STB is samsung). Polarization – horizontal. Press exit and select channel installation. Press the red button to start. When the screen comes press yes. Then enjoy the channels from measat. If you want tosee the old channels. restore defaults. You will be getting the channels from the old satelite.
I tried to change the new settings but only few channels are available now. No Neo cricket as well.
is it possible to get the direction of mesat using doordharshan dth
