dd dth- how to receive extra channels?
I just got my dd dth installed some time back and am receiving the standard channels which are claimed to be part of the package...i would like to know if there is any possible way to receive more channels without changing the existing dd setup box.( for example, by programming ) and how exactly can it be done?

LOL, u can't "program" the STB. U can recieve those channels only, which is all FTA channels.
But jaipal reddy was talking abt more channels for DD DTH, so u will have to wait.

I have a question too. This is not related to DTH.
I know we can receive free to air (FTA) channels using a satellite receiver and a large dish antenna.
My question is that, is there a possibility of having a normal FTA receiver with a small satellite dish similar to what we use for DTH. 
What will be the price (recevier + dish + other components such as LNB = ? ) ?. Is it possible under Rs. 5000/- ?

Hey Nikhil, does that mean that you can link your DTH receiver to any satellite and receive any International FTA channels ?

well ppl i gotta explain !
here
the dth service which we recive in india are from NSS6 satellite which is 95 degree east
so all the FTA channels of the sattelite are viewed by us
we have .8 m diameter dish
if we increase the diameter to 4 or 5 metres and place it in the direction of another satellite then we wiil be able to receive those channels
visit here to find how u can

if u want an example of fta (which means free to air) then one example is the dd dth service . u only pay for the hardware(one time payment) then u can view the channels/stations(whatever is available when u turn the tv set on). as for getting fta stations/channels of other service providers i'll have to check.

hey better than the cable wallas...no static....no interferance...no static....except when there is a major thunder and lightening storm...and best of all when there is a cable walla strike(local or nation-wide) it makes no differance to us dth owners since there is no cable-walla invoved in the transmission and distribution of signals.
