I&B team makes field visit in Delhi areas to check digital signals

NEW DELHI: Digital signals are being received in the Kapashera and Samalka areas of Delhi and several houses have already installed digital set top boxes.

A team of the Information and Broadcasting Ministry had visited the areas on 20 October following complaints that no digital signals were received there.

The team interacted with the cable operators, local people and also visited headends run by Digicable Network. The team also went to some homes to do a spot verification.

The headend located in Samalka belonging to the Digicable Network is already providing digital feed to both the areas.
 
The team also found that one particular local cable operator (LCO) who is providing only FTA channels has not entered into any agreement with the multi-system operators and is thus not able to get the digital feed. However, several other LCOs are already providing digital feed.
