Idan Plus Converters and Antennas - Pay Once and Be Done With It
Look... I don't understand why people are still throwing hundreds of shekels every month at HOT or yes. Seriously. It's 2026. Most of us watch a bit of news on Channel 12 in the evening, maybe Channel 14, a good football match - and that's it. The solution is pretty obvious here: buy Idan Plus. You pay once for this box, plug it in, and you have TV without a subscription. Free channels forever. No technician who's three hours late and no begging for customer retention. So how much does Idan Plus cost? Honestly, it's pocket change compared to what you're paying today. But you need to know what you're buying, right? Not every plastic converter you find online will work properly. You need a digital converter that supports the DVB-T2 standard. Why? Because without it, you won't see HD broadcasts. Watching the World Cup or news on Kan 11 stretched across the screen like in 2005... no thanks. So if you're looking for a recommended Idan Plus, make sure it's DVB-T2. And... where to buy Idan Plus in Israel? People are starting to wander around old electronics stores. Forget that. Order Idan Plus online. An Idan Plus Israel online store (like here) will sort you out with real stock and, most importantly, an official importer. This is critical because if the remote breaks after two months, there's someone to talk to. Fast delivery to your door and we've closed the deal.Indoor or Outdoor Antenna? The Safe Room Problem
Here's something everyone falls for. You buy a converter, put it in a safe room, and get a black screen. Concrete walls block reception. Makes sense, all things considered. For a regular bedroom, a small indoor antenna is perfectly sufficient, plug and play. But for a safe room? An outdoor antenna is a must, or at least an amplified antenna for Idan Plus (with a reception amplifier connected to power). It works. Simple as that. I've prepared a small table to clarify things. Just so you don't get confused when you're comparing Idan Plus prices:| Where is the TV? | What equipment is needed? | Budget (Idan Plus Special Online Price) |
|---|---|---|
| Living room / Regular bedroom | DVB-T2 converter + simple indoor antenna | Cheapest. Basic price. |
| Safe room (or basement) | Converter + outdoor/amplified antenna + long coaxial cable | A bit more expensive, but strong reception. |
| Smart TV (old) | Regular receiver/HD converter + HDMI cable | Varies (depending on the package/bundle) |
Questions and Answers (Because Everyone Asks the Same Thing)
How much does an Idan Plus converter cost?
The price of Idan Plus depends on the specifications. Basic HD converters will cost around 100-150 shekels. Complete kits for safe rooms with amplified antennas will cost a bit more. You pay only once.
Do I need internet to watch Idan Plus?
No! And that's the magic of it. It works on radio waves (frequencies in the air) just like before. Even when the network crashes or there are internet problems, you continue to watch TV smoothly.
Which free channels can I watch?
All of Israel's basic channels: Channel 12, Reshet 13, Channel 14, Kan 11, Channel 33, Kan Hinuchit (23), and also the Knesset Channel. And there are also radio stations.
Which Idan Plus converter is best to buy?
The best Idan Plus converter to buy is one with the DVB-T2 standard (essential for HD broadcasts), a Hebrew menu, and a warranty from an official importer. Popular brands with us are Apex and Konka.
Does Idan Plus work in a safe room?
Yes, but not with a regular indoor antenna. Concrete and steel block reception. You must extend an outdoor antenna outside the safe room window, or use an amplified and powerful antenna.
How do I connect the converter to the TV?
It's as simple as can be. Connect the antenna to the converter, and connect the converter to the TV with an HDMI cable. Turn it on, do an automatic channel scan with the remote control, and that's it. No technician needed.
