It’s all over in the news and on Youtube that Oqaab DTH first Afganistan DTH service is coming soon. Is this news true? The answer is NO. The Oqaab is not a DTH (Direct to Home) service but it’s an old DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) Network Service.

Just like any other DTT network. The Oqaab Afghanistan DTT service will telecast its transmission using the large Broadcast Towers in and around the Cities. The users have to install a UHF Antenna on Rooftops to get the signals.
While the Antenna cable is then connected to Oqab Terrestrial Digital Tuner Box provided by the company. Which is going to be connected with Television or LED sets using TV/AV cables or the HDMI cable provided in the box.
Oqaab Box Price:
The official Oqaab Box price is not yet been disclosed but there are many retailers enlisted in and around Kabul city. All of them will be provided with the latest DTT box including the TV/AV cables and HDMI cables.
