FAQs –

How to get these TV channels?

You can get these TV channels by using a C-Band satellite dish antenna and mpeg-4 free-to-air set-top box system.

Which size of dish antenna required catching signals of the GSAT-17 satellite?

As you know these channels are available only on the C-Band beam so you need a C-Band dish antenna starting size 150cm (5ft). It has a very high gain transponder so you can use minimum-size C-Band dish antenna.

Can I watch these TV channels on the Ku-Band dish antenna?

Receiving C-band on a small dish now is easy, If you have above 90cm dish antenna, then it will not be difficult to get C-band channels on a ku-band dish antenna.

For example, if you have above 90cm ku-band dish antenna then you have to buy a C-Band LNB bracket which is available with SOLID Company LNB. You can buy it from here. And you can get C-Band channels on a small ku-band dish antenna.

Can I watch GSAT-17 and GSAT-15 (DD Freedish) together?

Yes, it is possible now because both satellites are available in the same position so you can use a C+KU band dish antenna (recommended size above 150cm), here you can use dual-band LNB (C+Ku Band) to get signals from both satellites.
