NEW DELHI: Signals of both All India Radio and Doordarshan can be received all over the country including the north-east region except Andaman and Nicobar Islands with the help of a small-size dish receiver system, following the launch of Doordarshan’s Direct-to-Home “DD Direct Plus”.

Meanwhile, Parliament has been informed that Doordarshan transmission is not affected by foreign TV signals in border areas, although Chinese TV signals are received in some areas of Arunachal Pradesh during favourable seasonal conditions.

Parliament was also informed that Chinese radio channels are audible on different frequencies in Arunachal Pradesh. But this has not affected the coverage of AIR transmitters in this belt.
