Doordarshan announce Free TV Service without Internet

Good news for Doordarshan lover, public Broadcaster Doordarshan has started free TV service to Smartphones from february 25 in16 cities, including four metro cities.

This sixteen cities are Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Guwahati, Patna, Ranchi, Cuttack, Lucknow, Jalandhar, Raipur, Indore, Aurangabad, Bhopal, Bangalore and Ahmedabad, reported Press Trust of India.

The two key aspects of DD’s mobile TV service are that the media content is free and it does not require the internet. Mobile TV can be received in and around these cities using DVB-T2 dongles in OTG enabled smartphones and tablets, Wi-Fi dongles for moving vehicles, besides the TV sets having a built-in DVB-T2 tuner which is called Integrated Digital TV (iDTV).

While iDTV are available in Sony, LG, Panasonic, Samsung etc, the dongles can be purchased from online shopping sites like Flipkart, eBay, Snapdeal etc.

As per the plan, viewers will be able to get, in one single broadcast service, about 20 TV channels and 20 radio channels. Currently, DD National, DD News, DD Bharati, DD Sports, DD Regional/DD Kisan are being relayed. Viewers only need a one-time investment of dongle and there will be no extra expenditure afterwards unlike streaming with the Internet. Experts said the plan is very ambitious and has its own set of limitations. But, if it works, it could have far-reaching implications.

So congratulations to all lucky 16 cities for free tv service, enjoy it..!
