Incidentally, Star's Asian channels Star Plus and Star One, Hindi news channel Star news and the South Indian Vijay channels are also available in the US market on DirTV.
It maybe that the channels are still in the testing stage, so I wouldn't start setting your boxes to any transponder frequency, and trying to find a satellite (61.5W) that may be out of range for some on the west coast, until later this month, as they may move things around. (yes...they do this)
Once they get things settled in, a transponder change will be posted, it may turn out that they will also put these channels on a west coast bird, we will have to wait till things are established on 61.5W first to see if mirror channels are setup on another satellite.
Please don't swamp use with requests for the TP frequencies until this is out of testing stages, other members have tried to find these channels, some have and some haven't, please be patient and wait till the end of this month.
