DD should have arranged/negotiated with few STB manufacturers so that we could have HD STB at least from open market. I could not find any HD STB except Dreambox(costs around Rs20,000). At least, DD should have started OTA transmission.
 
"A top official in the information and broadcasting ministry said this was a concern but the responsibility of seeding HD-boxes lies with Prasar Bharati. “The government was committed in funding Prasar Bharati to enable DD to upgrade its infrastructure to HD standards which it has done. Doordarshan should answer as to how the HD-feed is reaching its own subscribers,” the official said.

Doordarshan director general Aruna Sharma said, “It’s not our job to provide HD boxes. I am told they are available in the market. Also, the HD feed of CWG are available on private DTH players.”"


Height of irresponsibility. They should be replaced for such responses. Lazy meatloaves feeding on public money.
