If you live in an isolated area of the large population centers, or in a depopulated rural area, you may have problems tune in the DTT channels correctly: some do not catch, others see the blurred signal or, directly, they are constantly interrupted.
To solve this situation and that you can enjoy digital terrestrial television (DTT) anywhere in the country, a solution is to use the new Astra HD+platform, which allows you to receive all the supply of content without having to depend on the Internet, but does it via satellite.
In this article we explain how Astra HD+ works and what you have to do to watch television through the satellite.
How Astra HD+ works
In order to tune in satellite television with Astra HD+ you will need a service subscription and have a parabolic antenna with LNB receptor (to receive the signals). Anyone you buy in a specialized store or in department stores. Generally, the most common are 60 centimeters in diameter.
The installation is simple and you could try to do it yourself, thanks to Astra's app, which will help you guide the device towards the Astra satellite in 19.2º to the east. It is important that the antenna always looks towards the satellite and there are no objects in the middle that can hinder the signal reception.
In addition to that, you will need a satellite receptor or decoder compatible with DVB-S2 and HD. Many of the best smart TV already have it incorporated. If you have a hard drive, you can record the emissions you want.
The installation is super simple. The antenna cable that arrives from the parabolic has to be connected to the digital receiver and the digital receiver to the television through an HDMI cable or if it were not possible, with a Euroconer.
The coverage of Astra HD+ is total throughout the national territory, including archipelagos and Ceuta and Melilla. In addition, it is not necessary to have an Internet connection to be able to use it, since it works via satellite in all cases.
How much does Astra HD+ cost
You can subscribe to Astra HD+ directly on its website. The good thing is that during the first year the service is free and allows you to enjoy up to 30 channels of digital terrestrial television, in high definition, for free and open.
Once the first promotional year has passed, or if you want to access the offer of premium content, with more than 1,000 television channels around the world, and even the Movistar+ content package in Spain, you will have to pay a subscription of 72 euros a year to continue enjoying the contents of Astra HD+.
