Receive system of DD Direct+ contains three units -1.) One small sized Dish Antenna
along with LNBF, 2.) Indoor Set Top Box (STB) also known as IRD (Integrated Receiver
Decoder) and 3.) Handy Remote control unit for STB. Dish Antenna installed at the roof top
or on wall facing clear south receives the signal from satellite and transmits it to the indoor
Set top box unit. The set top box further decodes the different TV channels from the DTH
bouquet and feeds it to the TV set for viewing.
The complete DD Direct+ DTH receives system (Dish Antenna, Set Top Box and
Remote control unit) is a onetime purchase from the open market with a nominal cost.
There is absolutely no further recurring expenditure in terms of monthly subscription etc. for
viewing the channels.
Installation of the DTH receive system is very easy and does not take much time. The
viewers may take the services of skilled technical personnel to get the dish installed and
oriented towards the desired Satellite, followed by tuning/configuring the Set top box unit.
Dish Installation and STB-Tuning procedure is normally supplied by respective
manufacturer along with their receive system.
As a broad guideline, some of the parameters which may be required to be fed to the
STB are indicated below.
