I think the ones you see on cband like 68 , 66 and are not meant for retail consumption... You cannot buy those individually. They are for pay TV head ends like "dstv ya huko India" who buy them and redistribute to their subscribers...

Even if they were meant for retail consumption you'd have to purchase their official decoder and get someone in Asia to activate it for you and pay for you every time your subscription is expired.

Its impossible to use Indian official decoders outside India. Its a very ugly situation. Picture this, if your Cell No. or address is used to register a box you are requested to verify it, which can only be done if you are in India, second chance you present the stb personally at a providers office for verification. Failure to fulfil the above you are arrested and prosecuted. You should have seen Indians rushing to return decoders home.

Guys don't laugh at him so much. The idea isn't that much far fetched.. In astronomy, they use a series of smaller dishes to create the effect of one large dish many meters accross to study the universe.
I don't know how they do it but I think the lnbs are made such that they can be connected in series to sum up their gains and achieve a total greater gain...

Such is the case with Very Large Array antenna in New Mexico, USA.

I've also been wondering how this can be applied on satellite TV.

then i have these 2 6ft dishes can i connect them to get 12ft?

This might be an interesting experiment, especially with offset dishes. One dish put upside down and the other put right way up such that the two have a common focal point. Add two more dishes on the sides in this contraption so that all four dishes focus on one lnb and you might be surprised by the results.

Acording to these FTA enthusiasts(https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/th...shes-be-combined-to-increase-strength.342877/ and https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/can-you-combine-signals.341389/#post-3517866),it is possible-but the effort would be too technically challenging and even expensive(they talk of phase lock loop lnbs and combiners).Basically itakuzeesha bure.it is much better to first optimize and squeeze the last drop of performance out of your setup ,maybe with the help of a pro, or if that does not satisfy your requirements just buy a bigger dish

Yeah the trick is getting the gain from the two lnbs "in phase" such that they constructively interfere with one another and create a larger amplitude...

Easier said than done without using special instruments more expensive than a simple larger dish.. and you'll need a customized reciever too.

Many chances are that you're going to create an "out of phase " interference and thus destructive interference and which will cancel out the little signal you're getting and you'll end up creating a 60cm dish out of two 6ft dishes.

If you've got the latest software and you don't get the $onys. Just get yourself a new sat receiver. That's the easiest place for most boxes

ok, then can i get nilesat or

An average box should be able to open all PV channels at IS20, sehemu ambapo pana changamoto ni @ 57E au wanajeshi @ 57E and 5E. Hapa wababe ni wachache kama Freesat@V8 Golden

What i can advise is to look for local installer who is experienced and learn from him .... get the basics first ... i was in your position once and i thought i could get any satelite i want ... but i eventually realized that isnt the reality ... and thats the fun in this sattelite journey .... i learnt from someone and am not perfect bado but i can get the common sats with ease now akina ISO 20,Apastar,Nilesat,Nss12 and many others .... but i am still learning



Again my advice to you is get someone who is experienced in your locality and learn the skills from him/her


Hope you take this info with a good heart.
