http://www.janvani.org/ is the only forum that will give complete technical knowledge about Indian DTH services
For proper installation of Dish please fallow the steps below.
Politically the India DTH coverage is limited to India territory only. but the satellites are places in such high that it can not restrict signal to scatters. So by this we can catch the signal from the satellite by following ways.
First we have get the dish and setupbok STB (MPEG2) from any local dealer with Ku LNB for free to air channels such as from dd direct plus. with is the only one DTH service that will provide free to air channels in india. you get a dream box any were in world it is a open source STB.
In India some pay DTH services are using latest technology with MPEG4 so it is better way to get a MPEG4 which can catch both signals.
In selection of the dish we have to take alot of care because it is the most important to catch the signals. Normally in india 30cm is more than sufficient but other than india we need the larg dish it depends on the distance from india.
For example to dubai it needs 120cm of dish to get full signal from india satellite. So please choose the proper dish size to get full signal. Most important is clear sky view there should not be any object like building are any others objects between the dish and sky. direct shall be facing india and the satellite is INSAT 4B at 93.5c east. It is easy by adjusting it by viewing signal in STB.
For pay channels services like dishtv, sundirect, tatasky, airteldirect, Bigtv, D2h. we need to have there STB's. In general all there STB's are carrying by the passenger from India to respective countries but it is illegal to carry the India STB's but there is one more option is by getting DREAM BOX STB.

The position of the satellites in relation to the country are irrelevant. It is the footprint over the geographical area that determines the ability to receive a transmission. For example the Astra satellites as well as the Hotbird satellites which serve Europe mainly are in a geostationary orbit in a distance of ca. 36000 kms, straight above the terrestrial equator. Some beams are narrow beam and serve a strong signal over a relatively small area, others are wide beam and cover a larger area but with a predominantly weaker signal. A recognised industry source of information on satellite footprints and reception is http://www.lyngsat.com.
