2. Can we receive Radio Sai with our Digital Radio?

2 ANS. You need a WorldSpace receiver to listen to Radio Sai, since programs are transmitted from the WorldSpace Satellite in an encrypted format.

 

3. Where can we buy a WorldSpace receiver?

3 ANS. Online ordering of receivers is available at  www.worldspace.com  and specifically for Indian customers at www.worldspace.in . WorldSpace receivers are also available in a variety of models at different price points at the Bhaktha Sahayak Sangh General Stores in Prashanthi Nilayam.

 

4. I bought a set from Prashanthi Nilayam and the sales assistant told me to point the antenna to the South East to receive the broadcast. Even though I've done so, why am I not able to receive Radio Sai?

4 ANS. The sales assistant told you to point to the South East, assuming you live in India. If you live outside India, follow the directions given in the instruction mannual of the receiver. Some minor that and error adjustments may be needed to get the best reception.

7. Can you do live broadcasts?

7 ANS. At present we are unable to offer live broadcasts. We are working on this, and if things go well, soon we may be able to offer live broadcasts of select events from Prashanthi Nilayam. But we did broadcast live once; that was during the Birthday season of 2002. That was given us same valuable experience.

9. Can we buy Radio Sai broadcast material on CDs?

9 ANS. Some material is available for sale at the Sri Sathya Sai Books and Publications Trust at Prashanthi Nilayam.

10. Can we listen to Radio Sai on our car radio?

10 ANS. At present, WorldSpace receivers are not available for installation in cars. The antenna is directional, so reception is not ensured in moving cars. But WorldSpace is working in that direction. A solution may be expected soon.
