Absolutely, soon Prasar Bharati's OTT application is going to connect other private TV channels with itself, and applications have also been sought for this from private broadcasters.
Here we will try to know through this post why Doordarshan or Prasar Bharati's OTT platform is necessary.
Technological changes -
You must have seen that now most of the houses are replacing their old TVs with smart TVs. After the arrival of smart TVs, people always want the way of free entertainment as an option. Now the analog signal of Doordarshan i.e. terrestrial signal has been completely stopped due to the DD Free dish's reach of millions.
But still, it has become difficult to receive Doordarshan channels and other channels as a 2nd option without any dish antenna or set-top box. or where they don't have the option to install a dish.
Other applications -
Yes, there are some other applications in which free live TV channels are available, but they are not enough, there are only a few fast channels. But in that application, along with these free channels, such content is also available somewhere, which we cannot watch sitting with our family.
Set-top box or TV without antenna -
But now as soon as you buy a smart TV or smart box, Android box, you will be able to get Doordarshan and private TV channels without an antenna by installing Prasar Bharati's OTT in it.
If your TV has a satellite tuner inbuilt, then you can also watch DD Free Dish, that too without a set-top box, just install a dish antenna, and get set go.
Satellite Vs FAST -
As you know Prasar Bharati will add only satellite TV channels to its OTT application, FAST channels will not be included for now. Because Prasar Bharati will add only those channels on its OTT platform, which have got permission from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
Authenticity of news and confirmation of content -
Since the TV channel is approved by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, those TV channels do not broadcast adult content. Such content can be watched by people below 18 years of age with their parents, they also show certificates. No news channel can show the wrong news. Legal action can be taken against them.
In this way, people should watch only those TV channels recognized by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting of the Government of India.
