If you are using a DD Free Dish MPEG‑2 set top box and notice that channels 1 to 38 work perfectly but channels 39 onwards start freezing, cutting, or showing weak signal problems, don’t worry — this is a common issue and can be solved with a few simple steps.
Why Does This Happen?
Signal alignment issue: Your dish antenna or LNB (Low Noise Block) may be slightly misaligned.
Frequency sensitivity: Higher channel numbers often use different transponders, which require more precise alignment.
Weather or obstruction: Heavy rain, dust, or nearby obstacles can weaken signals.
Step‑by‑Step Solution
Go to the problem channel
Switch to any channel that is freezing (e.g., Channel 39 onwards).
Press the Info button on your remote to check signal strength and quality.
Adjust the dish antenna or LNB slightly
Move the dish very gently — left, right, up, or down.
Watch the signal bar on your TV screen while adjusting.
Stop when the signal quality improves.
Fine‑tune the LNB position
Sometimes just rotating the LNB a few degrees can stabilize weak signals.
Use a signal‑tracking app
Download the Freedth app or any satellite signal finder app.
Once you lock the signal, save the position in the app for future reference.
Next time, you can realign your dish in seconds.
