Hi,

I am trying to get the south asian channels (specifically hindi direct package) from the 95 WEST galaxy 3C satellite on my magnum 3300.

I did hook up the 36" DirecTV international dish and directly connected the 95W lnb to magnum... My friend has a signal meter, which I used to check the signal strength and I did got 87% signal strength on that signal meter for galaxy 3C.

When I did the blind scan on magnum for this satellite I only see the CCTV4 (chinese) channels... I can't see any indian channels...

Please let me know, what I am doing wrong...

Thanks,

Looking at Lyngsat, I don't see that there ARE any Indian channels on Galaxy 3C . The only ku programming that is FTA is the CCTV4 channels that you found. I guess you need to check your source of info for the hindi direct package.
Checking up on Google, I find that Hindi Direct is a DirectTV package. That's not available with your current setup.
It probably IS on Galaxy 3C.

:(

I am confused by your reply aussieboy. Intitially you said Indian channels are not on Galaxy 3C and later you said it may be on Galaxy 3C.

Another question, isn't it possible to get DirecTV channels on magnum?

Just for my understaning, why the DirecTV is NOT possible to view on magnum and Dish network is?

Is it because DirecTV is more secured?

Does anyone know what are the transponder freq and polarity for the HindiDirect channels?

AT this time Direct TV cant be hacked.....thats why we dont get it with FTA receivers or any other way.
