Setup and satellite reception: from dish to a clean file

Not hard, but one wrong number ruins everything. Aim the dish at Yahsat, read the channel screen, record a clean package — step by step, with a real screenshot.

The Toosheh channel screen with the package-info box marked — The real Toosheh channel screen; read the info box before you record.

The app is installed; now you have to pull real data out of the sky. This is where most people slip — not because it is hard, but because one wrong number ruins the whole thing. This page shows, step by step, how to aim the dish, find the Toosheh channel and record a clean package. If the app isn't installed yet, do Installing Toosheh first.

What you need

A satellite dish aimed at Yahsat, position 52.5°E. An ordinary satellite-TV dish is enough.
A receiver that records to USB, whose output is one of the formats TS, TSV, M2TS or TP0.
A USB drive with enough free space — several gigabytes, because the daily package is large.

A household satellite dish on a rooftop — The same ordinary dish; it just has to point precisely at Yahsat 52.5°E.

Step 1 — Tune the satellite

Set your receiver to Yahsat 52.5°E and enter these four parameters exactly. One wrong digit means no signal:

Frequency: 11766
Polarization: vertical (V)
Symbol rate: 27500

If the channel isn't found, assume the parameters changed, not that something broke: get the current number from toosheh.org or the Telegram channel t.me/TooshehApp.

Step 2 — Find the Toosheh channel and read the screen

Search for the "Toosheh" channel and open it. You won't see a normal TV picture; you'll see an information screen. That's not a fault — it's exactly what you want. In the corner sits an info box (number 1 in the image):

The Toosheh channel screen; the package-info box is marked with an arrow — Box number 1: Toosheh date, package duration, package size and the counter. Read these before recording.

Toosheh date: which day's package this is.
Package duration: the minimum you must record.
Package size: the minimum free space the drive needs.
Counter: the broadcast counter.

Step 3 — Connect the drive

Plug the USB drive into the receiver. Make sure its free space is not less than the "package size" on screen; otherwise the recording stays incomplete.

Step 4 — Record

Press the receiver's Record button (usually a red circle). Key point: the TV does not need to be on to record; you can record at night, when power is cheaper and the network quieter. How long? At least the "package duration"; if your signal is weak, longer — so Toosheh's redundancy (5 to 30 percent of the bandwidth) can make up lost packets. There is no fixed number of minutes; anyone who gives you one made it up.

Step 5 — Stop and eject safely

When the duration is up, press Stop and eject the drive safely. The file must have the extension TS, TSV, M2TS or TP0. If your receiver records only MPG, the app can't open it; re-tune it or use a different receiver.

When signal or format misbehaves

Channel not found: re-enter the parameters exactly; take the current number from the official sources.
Only a picture recorded, no file: the receiver was in the wrong mode; set the recording type to data/TS.
Weak signal, incomplete file: record longer; the redundancy reconstructs the missing part.
Jamming: Iran has a record of jamming satellites; the redundancy exists for exactly that.

Now that you have a clean file, it's time to extract: go to Using the Toosheh app. The overview and every official link live in the Toosheh main file; why this skill turns vital on shutdown day is in the deepfake war archive. The sky is open; you just have to point at it correctly.
