If you’re looking to receive Asiasat 7 at 105.5°E and live in India, here’s a complete step-by-step guide to help you install and receive free-to-air (FTA) channels using a small Ku-band dish setup.
Note: This guide is intended specifically for Indian coverage areas
So, before the installation of your small DTH antenna, you can always verify that your location falls within the satellite’s footprint. Luckily, Asiasat 7 offers strong coverage in some parts of India, so users anywhere in the country can proceed with confidence using a Ku-band setup on a 90cm or larger Ku-band DTH dish.
To get started, you’ll need the following components –
- 75cm or 90cm Ku-band DTH antenna (available locally)
- Universal LNB with Ku-band DTH Antenna
- Free-to-air set-top box (any FTA receiver will work)
Optional: Satellite dB meter such as SOLID SF-215 or SF-252 (for easier signal locking)
Setup and Scanning
Install your Ku-band LNB on the Ku-band dish using the proper bracket.
In your STB’s satellite settings, go to Satellite List > Add New Satellite or Transponder.
Enter any two working Asiasat 7 frequencies along with their symbol rates.
Slowly align the dish—use your dB meter or STB signal quality bar to locate the signal peak.

Once you’re comfortable with the Asiasat 7 setup, you can experiment with GSAT-17, which carries over 50+ private FTA TV channels. Just add a new satellite profile in your STB and scan with the appropriate transponder.
