Friends,
You can watch FTA channels from ABS 1 satellite using ADTV setup without changing the dish orientation.
Here's how to do it.
0. Go to System Settings in ADTV STB menu. (Default password 0000)
1. In LNB settings, selected Other satellite for LNB 2
2. Went to FTA->Find channels
3. Select Other for sattelite
4. Select 3/8 for transponders which happened to be transponder with 12579 frequency (Note I could not enter TP transponder frequency directly)
5. Press green button for auto scan
6. The STB should find some channels from the transponders.
7. Select save append option. The STB appends the channels after channel 999.
8. Now exit from STB menu. Go to channel 999 (help channel) and press next channel button. You should be able see channels from ABS 1 satellite there.
Most of the channels are religious channels. They may not be of interest for most of us. But it's exciting to do some successful experiments and be able to watch channels which other people don't know how to tune to.
JCTV and Smile of A child are good channels from ABS 1.

If you are in north India, you should be able to get ABS1 channes from all 8 transponders pre programed in ADTV stb (Around 36 TV channels). Unfortunately users in south India can receive channels from 1 transponder only (7 channels).
The footprint of the North beam of ABS 1 covers only Northern part of India (it is meant for Russia and China). Only South beam covers entire India. Most of the ABS 1 transponders are using North beam.
