DD Free Dish will shortly migrate to the recently launched satellite GSAT15 which was launched on November 10. This will hopefully increase the number of TV channels subscribers will receive in the near future.
The DDG of DD Free Dish, C.K Jain, revealed that the process will be activated in a short span of time but however, no precise date was given for the migration.
“Date for migrating DD Free Dish from Insat4b to GSAT15 has not yet been decided. A wide publicity will be done in advance before migrating. We hope after this migration, Free Dish subscribers get more TV channels in MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 mode due to lots of space at satellite,” said the DDG of India’s free Direct-To-Home (DTH) service.
The newly launched GSAT15 was launched by Arianespace for ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) in a bid to expand Direct-To-Home (DTH), telecommunication and radio navigation services.
The 3164 kg GSAT-15 carries communication transponders in Ku-band as well as a GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) payload operating in L1 and L5 bands.
GSAT-15 is positioned at 93.5 degrees East longitude in the geostationary orbit along with the operational INSAT-3A and INSAT-4B satellites. It will complete all the required tests before being fully operational. Satellites INSAT-4B and INSAT-3B will be gradually phased out with the latter having already completed it 12-years span since its launch in April 2003.
In reference to the setting-up of the Set-Top Boxes (STBs) in regards to the parameters of GSAT15, C.K Jain said: “Once DD Free Dish start migration, you will get all technical information here with complete frequency and installation details with video.”
