I have finally figured out the things DD direct plus, DoorDarshan’s DTH service is good for. I am sorry if I could not give a lot of points over here, but well thats all that is to the “good” of DoorDarshan DTH.

  • Changing of SAT: Yes this is a BIG plus with DD DTH now that we have DishTV and Tata Sky with customized softwares that are no good for changing satellites. You can STILL change to the satellite you want with DoorDarshan DTH meaning you can have customized TP and all the FTA channels on DD DTH as well! and I mean all the FTA channels of the world over here!
  • Completely free: Something DD DTH has always been famous for, being completely free, although DD doesn’t offer that many channels, only around 30 last I checked, but well at least they are free.

So well these were the only things I found great about DD DTH that nobody else had, although the awesome thing here is that the point no. 1 is too strong already to push DD DTH up in the market and to make people join DD Direct plus, therefore Doordarshan might get some people just because of this!

And as I always say, be optimistic! Who knows if DD DTH gets much more to offer later in the game? Then it’d be all for good!

    January 29th, 2007 at 12:47 pm Anand: Do get FTA channels on your DoorDarshan Dish you will have to move the dish to the right angle and then configure the appropiate satellite in your STB.

    Anil Babu: Yes we are including Surya TV very soon.

    Gautam: You could try getting DD DTH details from your Local TV tower, the people there will advise you in case there are no dealers around you know of.

    Farook: You might try getting a Dish with a higher signal catching capacity, that will help.

    M.K. Parida: You will have to re-adjust the Dish to match the signal of the satellite, try rotating it around, that will help.

    March 20th, 2007 at 2:10 pm India’s world cup matches are not seen in DD Direct Plus. At the time of match, National Delhi is telecasted instead of National channel. Why so? Will we get a chance to see the India’s matches on DD Direct plus?

    April 12th, 2007 at 10:11 am Respected Sir,
    Hello and Hi,
    i had been a subsciber of cable for the last 4 yrs. I watch english entertainment channels. No one other than me,in my locality,likes watching english channels. As a result of this, he has shifted all the english channels at the end and the picture and sound qulityis very-very low.Even after repeated requests,cable operator does not help.
    After reading your blog, I am quite disheartened by the services of tata-sky & dish tv. like you i am intrested in buying DD Direct+.
    You have written that i can view FTA channels from other countries.I have checked that NBC and CW network are free to air. So please check if I can view these channels and/or any other english channels. Also if you can specify the directi[on,I would feel highly obliged.
    Please help me in deciding,,what is best for me.
    Please reply soon.
    Yours Faithfully,
    Saurabh

    April 25th, 2007 at 10:40 am Sir,

    From very recent past yau have changed the DD1 National as DD Direct+ in DD DTH service. We do not recieve DD National signal on that channel.

    We couldn’t watch the ICC World Cup 2007 which is being telecasted over DD National.

    We have got DD DTH for the superior veiwing of our interested channels DD but we regret your recent move.

    Therefore please make steps to telecast the original DD1 channel rather than DD direct + channel.

    Our aim to have DD DTH is to watch India’s cricket matches on digital format but our expectations were abolished with the new form of DD DIrect+ channel.

    Therefore bring original DD1 National channel.
