no u can go with a normal after market FTA receiver. dd'd direct plus dth don't have any specific encryption hence u wnt hav 2 worry.
by the way why are u interested in that....DD's DTH channels are not so watchable.
Thanks a lot for your reply. I'm not sure, but I thought of reducing recurring cost in viewing FTA channels. As far as I understand, Videocone and others offer FTA but with recurring fee. Am I wrong?
