Friends,

I have purchased a DVB-T TV Tuner card from ebay. But unfortunately it didnt find any channels. I have tried different softwares, but no use.

The seller is now telling that, it will only work in europe. But I heard Chennai has DVB-T Channels from DD.

Is anybody here, who are using DVB-T in india? Will it work in india. I am just asking your help as I am going to buy another card. (my current Tuner has EC 168 chipset)
 
No sir,

I heard India has DVB-T signal in Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and somewhere. There are 5 channels available like DD News, Plus etc..

But unfortunately i didn't receive anything in Chennai. I am just need your feedback - if anyone else using DVB-T in India?
 
DVB is in India for sure!!(DD channels etc.)

When Nokia N77 was released, it had inbuilt DVB-H(andheld) and u could catch and view DD channels on it easily!:)

Maybe the one u bought works with European channels only?!
maybe something to do with the frequency!
 
DVB-T is present in India.

I know its there in Mumbai and Delhi. You should try calling the DD offices in Mumbai or Delhi to find out if its available in Chennai.

It broadcasts 5 DD channels.

I myself have experimented with a DVB-T receiver from Pinnacle in Mumbai. The problem is that the signal is not very strong. Only when I was close to the broadcasting tower (Its in worli Mumbai) it worked, otherwise there was no signal.
 
i hope it scan almost all available frequencies and the EC168 chip is what all the tv tuners have those are made in china.

I am just looking for any input from users how have used DVB-T in Chennai.

Long time back I saw scroll giving the frequency. It was in 600Mhz range and modulation was QPSK. DD tower in Chennai is located in Sivanandha salai. Near Chepauk Cricket ground.

DD DVB-T works only in small pockets of major cities. Its still experimental - has been so for a while now. It doesn't look great either - no difference from normal analog broadcast. Not worth the time and effort.
