Thread: fta channels

i am from tamil nadu and i had been bought airtel dth now on throughing a sun direct so please help me how to get fta channels in airtel dth

Sorry. Did not understand.

Are you switching from Airtel to Sun Direct? If yes, then Airtel will deactivate your account and you will not be able to view any channel from the Airtel connection.

FTA channels are not given as is. They are bundled as free channels when you subscribe to any package. When you disconnect, you will not get these channels. If you want FTA channels only (say on 2nd TV at home), you can buy DD Direct equipment and connection. There will be installation charges only. DD Direct shows all FTa channels only and they will be free for the lifetime.

i am shifting from sundirect to airtel .i had been got new connection for an airtel dth for which the monthly subscription is 99 and 5 months free and 750 min free talk time and how can i add fta channels in airtel dth k va

FTA channels will be available to you with whatever package you have chosen. You do not need to add them.

k . thanks for consideration.whether there is any chance of adding the channels manullay

You cannot add any channel (including FTA) manually. You get whatever is activated for you. All you can do is re-scan and retune the channels using the STB menu.

how to rescan and retune the channels

It is part of the STB menu. Press the menu button and there should be options. Every STB has different interface and hence I cannot tell you exactly where the option is.

Hunt for it or visit the website to know "how to" or call customer care.

i had called customer care but they do not know how to add it .you tell me that how you scan from your set top box k va

As I told you, every STB is different. The interface is different. The menu is different.

In any case tuning is required as a last resort. You should be getting FTA channels by default. If you are not getting them, talk to customer care, mention the channel that you are not getting, and ask them why.
