July 20, 2019 1

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.

Afganistan Oqaab Launch Date:

The first-ever Afghanistan DTT (Digital Terrestrial Television) Network service is going to be launched on 1st of August 2019.

How Oqaab DTT Will Work:

As mentioned above the Oqaab Afghanistan DTT network will work on the old Antenna Signals bases. The user will have to boost an outdoor antenna which is then connected with the Oqaab Box.

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.
