DD Direct Plus, India’s popular free-to-air DTH service, is undergoing a significant upgrade. The platform is migrating from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4/HD, which will improve picture quality and better compression efficiency.

What Does This Mean for Viewers?

The transition to MPEG-4/HD is evident from the recent notices inviting applications for the allotment of vacant MPEG-4 slots on the DD Direct Plus platform. The 82nd e-auction for MPEG-4 slots was announced from September 13, 2024, to March 31, 2025.
