DD Sports / DD Feed on GSAT-9

GSAT-9, also known as the South Asia Satellite, is positioned at approximately 97.3° East.

Television feeds on GSAT-9 can cover India and several neighbouring South Asian countries. DD-related feeds may appear on this satellite depending on broadcasting arrangements and sporting events.

A commonly reported Ku-Band transponder is:

Frequency: 11326 MHz
Polarity: Vertical
Symbol Rate: 9000 Ksps
Satellite: GSAT-9 at 97.3°E

Because feeds on GSAT-9 may change their service name or usage, viewers should use a Blind Scan to find currently active DD Sports or associated Doordarshan feeds.

Which Satellite Should You Use?

For normal home viewing in India, GSAT-15 at 93.5°E is the recommended option because it carries the DD Free Dish platform and can be received using a small Ku-Band DTH antenna.

GSAT-10 uses C-Band transmission and generally requires a larger C-Band dish antenna.

GSAT-9 can be useful for viewers interested in South Asian satellite feeds, although individual channels and feeds may change.

Is DD Sports Free-to-Air?

Yes, DD Sports is available free-to-air through DD Free Dish. Some satellite contribution or distribution feeds may have different technical configurations.

DD Sports Live Cricket

DD Sports broadcasts selected cricket matches and other sporting events depending on broadcasting rights and government sharing arrangements.

Viewers should check the latest schedule before a match because not every cricket match or tournament is necessarily shown on DD Sports.

Is it DD Sports 1.0 or DD Sports 2.0?

DD Sports 1.0 is a special feed. It is only available on DD Free Dish. The DD Sports HD 1.0 feed shows the big matches, especially matches of the Indian team.

But on Waves OTT and other platforms, you get DD Sports 2.0. This is the regular feed. It shows normal sports programmes instead of the big restricted matches.

Satellite frequencies and temporary feeds can change without notice. Always perform a fresh Blind Scan if a channel is not available on a previously saved frequency.
