They r already saying that fee is 25%less in this type of technology and many regional channels will get benefit in this method. So let us hope when they will do.
as we know their 95 -channels scheme are flop from 2012 march to till date. So they are making new scence of unknown scence.
if this will work then they will beat
other dth and cable operator as showing in our country only 164 paid channels and rest aee free.

I don't think so, DD will implement this one.

59 se 60 nahi karne sakraha hai aur chala 600 karne. :d pehle v jhutha news diya tha ke agle saal se is me optional pay channel v rahega jisko subscribe kar k dekha ja sakta hai. Parsar bharti ki behan ki aankh.

[SARAVANA RAMESH]

all the best DD

we expect like this type of technology

 

[VISMAY]

600 Channels, all channels will be News Channels only

Bakwas.
This is not technically possible. DVB-T means antenna. They will beam via Transmitter, not via satellite. Where is so much VHF spectrum? How will they beam 600 channels? Already spectrum crunch. TRAI/ DoT Will not allow DD to use so much spectrum at free of cost.

Got any idea to increase channel count to 600.

Replicate all 59 channel 10 times. Done.

One more idea

Bring 9 promo channel for each 60 channel currently available

4

Doordarshan will start using world's latest DVB-T2 technology. After this, more than 600 Free To Air TV and Radio channels will be available at your drawing room without any cost. Pay channels too can be viewed by this technology- thats too without paying a single penny. New Transmitters are being set up in various places across India. Doordarshan hopes to to start this service by March, 2014 next.

There are two modes of Television Transmissions. One is through Satellites, the technology that we are currently widely using to receive all channels. The other mode is through Transmitters. Only Doordarshan has the right to broadcast through Transmitters. Doordarshan is presently converting its existing Transmitters into Digital Transmitters by using DVB-T2 (Digital Video Broadcast- Terrestrial) technology. This will enable Doordarshan to beam 10 times more Channels than its existing capacity. DVB-T2 is a latest Technology that is currently used by Britain and few European Countries only as of now. It reduces the dependancy on Satellites.

This is win win situation for regional broadcasters. Regional broadcasters can reach their target audiences by using this Terrestrial broadcasting mode by Doordarshan. The carriage fees on Doordarshan's Terrestrial broadcast platform will be 25% less than the satellite platform.
