INTRODUCTION
Television (TV), sometimes shortened to tele or telly, is a
telecommunication medium used for transmitting moving images
in monochrome (black and white), or in colour, and in two or three
dimensions and sound. The term can refer to a television set, a television
program, or the medium of television. Television is a mass medium for
advertising, entertainment and news. Television became available in crude
experimental forms in the late 1920s, but it would still be several years
before the new technology would be marketed to consumers.
The broadcasting of the television shows where done by different types.

They can be further subdivided into:-
 Cable
 Terrestrial
 Satellite
 Internet
Our project basically deals with broadcasting by cable network specifying

on its shifts from Analogue to Digital working. Cable television is a system
of broadcasting television programming to paying subscribers via radio
frequency (RF) signals transmitted through coaxial cables or light pulses
through fiber-optic cables. FM radio programming, high-speed Internet,
telephone service, and similar non-television services may also be provided
through these cables. The abbreviation CATV is often used for cable
television. It originally stood for Community Access Television or
Community Antenna Television, from cable television's origins in 1948: in
areas where over-the-air reception was limited by distance from
transmitters or mountainous terrain, large "community antennas" were
constructed, and cable was run from them to individual homes. The origins
of cable broadcasting are even older as radio programming was distributed
by cable in some European cities as far back as 1924. Earlier cable
television was analog, but since the 2000s, all cable operators have
switched to, or are in the process of switching to, digital cable television.
In an analog television broadcast, the brightness, colors and sound are
represented by rapid variations of the amplitude, frequency or phase of the
signal. Analogue signals vary over a continuous range of possible values
which means that electronic noise and interference becomes reproduced
by the receiver. Thus with analog, a moderately weak signal becomes
snowy and subject to interference. In contrast, a moderately weak digital
signal and a very strong digital signal transmit equal picture quality. Analog
television may be wireless (terrestrial television and satellite television) or
can be distributed over a cable network using cable converters(cable
television).
All broadcast television systems used analog signals before the arrival
of digital television (DTV). Motivated by the lower bandwidth requirements
of compressed digital signals, since the 2000s a digital television
transition is proceeding in most countries of the world, with different
deadlines for cessation of analog broadcasts.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The study is mainly based on the switch of cable network to digital working
throwing special light on:-
1. Starting from invention of television to its outspread as a source of

information, entertainment and leisure.
2. The previous broadcasting of television programmes using analogue
cable network
3. The massive shift from analogue to digital cable network and its
adaptation in various countries.
4. Advantages of digital cable networking.
HYPOTHESIS
It is proved that digitization of cable network provides a huge variety and
number of channels as compared to the analogue system. Moreover
viewers can also choose their own set of channels as per their preferences
and pay for it accordingly. Besides the channel quality has also improved
massively. Thus digitalization of cable network through such qualities has
surely been a great benefit.
SOURCES
 PRIMARY SOURCES
Primary sources include books, journals, newspapers, magazines
etc.
 SECONDARY SOURCES
Secondary sources include the internet and Television itself.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
 Content Analysis
The information is gathered from various newspapers, journals,

internet and the television itself to have a detailed content analysis of
this project. The main focus of this project is the shift of cable
networking system from analogue to digital and its adaptation by the
world.
 Survey
A proper survey on this field is a must as it helps us to get a clear idea

and a proper graph of the benefits and the problems faced by the
common people due to this change. A survey of 50 people will be
taken following a set of questionnaire which will help in determining
the thoughts of the people.
 Interview
Interview of two eminent personalities working in this field of providing

cable services to the household will be taken so that their personal
opinion can also be shared in this project.

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
As the project concludes with the shift of cable network from analogue
to digital and its effects on mankind, it also leaves a huge scope for
further study. As it deals with only a single branch of broadcasting, a
comparative and detailed study of the other broadcasting processes
can be made further. Moreover with the rapid growth of technology the
effects on the people may also change opening up a new space for
analysis.
