Reception Kit

The IDAN+ Reception Kit: You can purchase a reception kit at any electronics or household appliance store and at the Israel Postal Services branches for a one-time fee and without paying for subscription fees. The Second Authority does not issue any kind of standards stamp or certificate.

The Digital converter (STB – DVB-T): To enable the reception of digital terrestrial transmissions using your existing television set, a digital converter (STB – DVB-T) and DTT antenna must be purchased. The price of these is based on each system’s technical specifications. Subsidy: In accordance with the Law, the State will subsidize the purchase of a digital converter (STB – DVB-T) for financially disadvantaged households. The mechanism and terms of the subsidy will be determined in the near future by the Ministry of Finance and approved by the Knesset’s Financial Committee. Following this and the publication of these terms, we will inform the public. We suggest, in the meantime, that you save your purchase receipts until the publication of any relevant information. Television sets with internal digital tuner (DVB-T): You will be able to receive digital terrestrial transmissions using a new-model wide-screen LCD television set that incorporates an internal digital tuner (DVB-T) and DTT antenna. When purchasing a new television, make sure that it includes a digital tuner (DVB-T); purchasing an additional converter for this television set is unnecessary. Computer or portable reception unit: You can also purchase a USB peripheral and DTT antenna that enables reception of digital transmission through your laptop portable or desktop computer. Additional kinds of portable receivers are also available.

The Second Authority recommends you make sure that the equipment you purchase fulfils the minimal technical requirements required for the service:
