    A Seminar On DTH System: Prepared by

    Harish Basivireddi
    This document summarizes key aspects of direct-to-home (DTH) television services in India. It explains that DTH provides audio and video broadcasting directly to homes using an antenna. DTH was first proposed in 1996 but did not pass approval due to security and cultural concerns. It was finally allowed in 2000 with licenses costing $2.14 million for 10 years. DTH works by transmitting satellite programs from a broadcasting center to a personal dish antenna at individual homes, bypassing local cable operators. While DTH offers better quality than analog cable, its set-top boxes make it initially more expensive.

    A SEMINAR ON
    DTH SYSTEM
    PREPARED BY:

    • The main service provided by DTH is Audio &
    Video broadcasting directly to home is done by
    DTH service
    • It is capable of providing television services to all
    remote areas.
    • This service can be done by arranging an
    antenna on top of the house.
    • In Rural areas there will be a problem of
    broadcasting, so by using this DTH service, it will
    be easy to them to broadcast directly…
    What is DTH?

    DTH stands for Direct-To-Home television. DTH


    is defined as
    the reception of satellite programmes with a
    personal dish in
    an individual home.
    History

    DTH services were first proposed in India in 1996.


    But they did not pass approval because there
    were concerns over national security and a
    cultural invasion

    Finally in 2000, DTH was allowed. The new policy


    requires all operators to set up earth stations in
    India within 12 months of getting a license. DTH
    licenses in India will cost $2.14 million and will
    be valid for 10 years.
    When was it first proposed in India?

    The idea of CAS was mooted in 2001 , which was followed


    by a furore over charge hikes by channel and
    subsequently cable operators. It was decided that it
    would be 1st introduced in four metros. It has been in
    place in Chennai since September 2003.according to
    estimates only 25% of the people have subscribed the
    new technology. The rest watch only free to air channels.
    How does DTH work?

    • DTH network consists of a broadcasting centre, satellites,


    encoders, multiplexers, modulators and DTH receivers.
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DTH & CABLE
    TV
    • The way DTH reaches a consumer's home is
    different from the way cable TV does. In DTH, TV
    channels would be transmitted from the satellite to a
    small dish antenna mounted on the window or
    rooftop of the subscriber's home. So the broadcaster
    directly connects to the user. The middlemen like
    local cable operators are not there in the picture.

    • DTH can also reach the remotest of areas since it


    does away with the intermediate step of a cable
    operator and the wires (cables) that come from the
    cable operator to your house. As we explained
    above, in DTH signals directly come from the
    satellite to your DTH dish.
    Is DTH superior to cable TV?

    • Yes. DTH offers better quality picture than cable


    TV. This is because cable TV in India is analog.
    Despite digital transmission and reception, the
    cable transmission is still analog. DTH offers
    stereophonic sound effects. It can also reach
    remote areas where terrestrial transmission and
    cable TV have failed to penetrate. Apart from
    enhanced picture quality, DTH has also allows for
    interactive TV services such as movie-on-demand,
    Internet access, video conferencing and e-mail. But
    the thing that DTH has going for it is that the
    powerful broadcasting companies like Star, Zee,
    etc are pushing for it.
    Will DTH be cheaper than cable or more
    expensive?
    • DTH will be definitely more expensive than cable as
    it exists today.
    • A set-top box is a must for DTH. Earlier, when CAS
    made set-top box mandatory for households, the
    costs between DTH and cable would not have been
    too wide.
    • But CAS on the backburner now -- which means no
    set-top box (a must for DTH), the price gap between
    DTH and cable will be wide.
    • In Oct 2002, Siticable, which is owned by Zee, said
    that the cost of the installation equipment, which
    includes the receiver dish and the set-top box, would
    be priced at around Rs 3,900. Siticable is looking to
    rope in 1 million subscribers in 15 months.
