The Ministry of Human Resource and Development is all set to launch 32 Direct-to-Home channels which would do a live telecast of classroom lectures from top-notch institutions, including six IITs.

The Department of Space has agreed to allot two transponders on a GSAT series satellite for this ambitious project, while Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) have been signed with many institutions which will provide lessons and content that will be beamed on these channels.

“The government is focusing on using space technology to expand the reach of high quality education. Through the 32 DTH channels the aim is to ensure that live classrooms can be transmitted from ten ‘Teaching Ends’ out of which six will be IITs located in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Kharagpur, Kanpur and Guwahati,” a senior official told PTI.

Doordarshan today formally announced that it is now capable of carrying 104 television channels on its free-to-air direct-to-home FreeDish. 24 channels that are being added to the existing 80 channels will be directly be launched on MPEG4 technology.

DD officials also confirmed that FreeDish will soon be capable of carrying up to 250 channels.

In line with the ‘Digital India’ and ‘Make in India’, DD has decided to implement Indian CAS (iCAS) on DD FreeDish Platform. iCAS (which is an initiative of the central government, is being initially introduced in 24 MPEG-4 channels. The introduction of iCAS will provide enhanced viewing experience.

DD officials said these additional 24 MPEG-4 SDTV channels will be available to viewers in FTA mode. The existing viewers will continue to get 80 SDTV channels, but will have to obtain iCAS-enabled authorised set-top boxes for accessing all 104 channels.

Although FreeDish will remain free to air with no monthly or periodic fee, the viewers will be required to register with DD FreeDish on getting the new STB from Doordarshan authorised STB dealers.

Doordarshan has planned  for major expansion plan for DD Free Dish platform. Doordarshan has already upgraded its platform to 104 channels and is in the process of upgrading it further to 250 channels. In line with the ‘Digital India’ and ‘Make in India’, Doordarshan has decided to implement Indian CAS (iCAS), on DD Free Dish Platform. iCAS(which is an initiative of Govt of India)  will initially be introduced in 24 MPEG-4 Channels which are in addition to the existing 80 channels. The introduction of iCAS will provide enhanced viewing experience to the viewers. These additional 24 MPEG-4 SDTV channels will be available to viewers in ‘free to view’ mode. The existing viewers will continue to get 80 SDTV channels, however for accessing all 104 channels, viewers will require iCAS  enabled authorised STBs. Viewers  will have to register with DD Free Dish  on getting the new STB from the Doordarshan authorised STB dealer however the DD Free Dish platform will remain  ‘Free to Air’ and  viewer will not be required to pay monthly or annual subscription.

Implementation of iCAS and authorisation of STB OEMs by Doordarshan will give a major thrust  to ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’ a mission of Government of India. Presently most of  STBs are imported and are not locally manufactured. However, the introduction of iCAS will  help in standardization of STBs and encourage quality STB manufacturing in India . For authorisation of STB OEMs, series of meetings were conducted by DG, Doordarshan Ms. Supriya Sahu with her team with the Indian STB manufacturers, DeitY, CDAC, Chip set manufacturers and other stake holders. After active consultation with all the stake holders, Doordarshan has started the process for rolling out MPEG-4 STBs for its DD Free Dish with iCAS. Doordarshan has invited E-Application for authorisation/empanelment of STB OEMs to sell / distribute DD approved CAS enabled DD Free Dish Set Top Boxes (STB) in India. In this regard a pre bid meeting with the Indian STB manufacturers is also scheduled for 3rd October 2016. Once the Indian STB OEMs are authorised by Doordarshan, they will start manufacturing quality STBs in India. They will set up their distribution network all over India for selling Indian STBs and providing services to Doordarshan Free Dish viewers. Doordarshan DTH  has also  planned to set up customer care service for “DD Free Dish”  viewers and has planned extensive complaint redressal mechanism.

Source/ Courtesy: IndianTelevision.com: It’s getting customer-focused. Almost as if inspired by the services provided by the private DTH providers such as Tata Sky, DishTV, Videcon d2h, Airtel Digtial TV, and Sun Direct, the Doordarshan-promoted free TV provider DD FreeDish is getting set to launch its call centre facility.

It is taking this step concurrent with the expansion of its channel capacity from 80 channels to 104, courtesy the move to upgrade its set-top boxes from MPEG2 to MPEG4.

A senior Prasar Bharati official yesterday confirmed while talking to indiantelevision.com that a call centre would be set up after completion of MPEG4 Switchover.

Once customers buy their iCAS-enabled and approved set top boxes from authorized retailers, they will then have to make a call to the FreeDish call centre to get their STB registered. This will then allow DD’s engineers to keep a tab on the number of subscribers the DTH platform has.

The call centre would be set up after the total switch-over to MPEG4 when a centre number on which a subscriber could call would also be given, the Prasar Bharati official said.

DD has been plagued by a lack of subscriber information to DD FreeDish over the years. The pubcaster created the platform but sold the MPEG2 STBs through retailers without keeping a tab on who was buying them and who is active. Estimates are that its subscriber base could be anywhere from 20 million to 40 million.
