you have to adjust the antenna for correct satelite,

call up cc of failtel and ask them to send engineer for readjusting dish to new satellite.

^^ They charge 100 rupees per visit.

Their telephonic customer care is really bad. but will respond quickly if you send a sms "HELP" without quotes to 54325 from registered mobile number.

Is there any1 in the building with a Airtel Dish? If yes, then you can take a wire out from their STB to yours, and use their dish, kind of a daisy chain.

Or if you can manually align the dish similar to another airtel dish, then no need to call Airtel.

ha ha.... and their so called Engineers...Call them up and tell them to adjust the direction It will work. Airtel Dish Antenna is bigger in size so it catches beter signal. I have both DishTV and Airtel with two different Dish antenna. I like DishTV for the chanels like KBS DW and NHK which are not there in others. But again I like Airtel because it has resume facility means, after power failure it comes back to the channel and volume level that you were watching (Unlike Ata/MaidaSky where after power resume you have to listen to there Adds).
