Technicians coming to Upgrade Cable/LNB/Dish alignment?

TS+HD has two inputs for the wires to come from the dish. This is because there are two tuners built in. One shows you the current programme you are watching whereas the other records some other program in the background. You can also record two programs while watching a 3rd program from the ones save on your dish. Now in some cases, TS Engineers had used a splitter to connect both the inputs at the STB end, This was no problem till all the TP's were horizontal, but with the introduction of vertical polarity this becomes a problem because your LNB(The thing which receives the signal from the dish) need to tune separately for the two polarities. So now the Technicians will visit such homes and install a separate wire directly from the LNB to the STB (The lnb being a 4 port one if not they will change the LNB too). They will the remove the splitter and take it with them.

Can we anticipate expansion in channels with this change? Is this also linked to the new satellite called GSAT? Also, if Tata Sky will start using another satellite, shouldn't we have another device added to the dish to receive additional signals from the other satellite - similar to Dish TV?

Thanks a lot!

Not if Both satellites are in the same location. Can be GSAT 10...which is yet to be launched(and that is very far off for them to start making changes now) or can be as another news is sinking in that IntelSat is moving one of its satellites(Horizon 2) from 74degreeWest to 85degreeEast. And also has added an india beam to it. This can be more plausible explanation than the Vertical TPs being introduced in the existing Insat 4A. But nothing is done till its done.

Intelsat 15 which has moved to 85 E does not cover the whole India

Intelsat's Premier Video Neighborhoods Continue to Attract World's Top Programmers

The satellite is being moved to 85 E because Intelsat has entered into multi-year, multi-transponder agreement with Orion Express LLC, a DTH television services provider in Russia, for standard- and high-definition content.

This news is posted on their website in Sep 2011. There is enough time from then to have a new deal with TS
