MTA Teleport has been upgraded in order to provide you with MTA’s new expanded services in North America. These Upgrades will be implemented at 9:00PM ET on Feb. 24th. 2008.
Please Note :

- Make sure that all Jamaat members update their MTA receivers and start receiving MTA before the major launch of MTA’s three new channels in North America on Friday February 29th, 2008.
STEP 1: Calculate Azimuth and Elevation for your Location:
- Angle Lookup (24.09 KB) Use this chart to find Azimuth and Elevation for your city to align your dish towards AMC-3 Satellite. If you cannot find your city in this chart, locate the nearest city within the 50 miles radius from your location and use that as a reference.
- Lookup Angle Calculator Use this chart to calculate approximate bearings for your location. You will need to know the Zipcode or the Longitude and Latitude to calculate the approximate bearing for AMC-3 Satellite in your area.
The Lookup Angle Chart is more accurate as compared to the calculator.
STEP 2: Follow Instructions for Installation:
- Once aligned, choose your satellite receiver below to follow the recommended directions to tune your set-top box with new frequencies and parameters:
- StarTrak 1000 UPDATED (If you have not upgraded to Version 2 software
