DTH stands for Direct-To-Home
The Direct-To-Home (DTH) service is a digital
satellite service that provides television services
direct to subscriber.
DTH does away with the need for the local cable
operator and puts the broadcaster directly in touch
with consumer.
COMPONENTS OF DTH
Programming source
The broadcast center
Satellite
Satellite dish
Receiver
The programming source are simply the
channels that provide programming for
broadcast.
Satellite TV provider get programming from
two major source: International
Channels(such as HBO,ESPN & CNN)&
various Local Channels(Sahara TV,
Doordarshan ).
These channels usually have a distribution
center that beams their programming to a
geostationary satellite.
The broadcast center converts all of this programming into
a high-quality, uncompressed digital stream. At this point,
the stream contains a vast quantity of data — about 270
megabits per second (Mbps) for each channel. In order to
transmit the signal from there, the broadcast center has to
compress it.
The providers use the MPEG-2 compressed video format —
the same format used to store movies on DVDs. With
MPEG-2 compression, the provider can reduce the 270-
Mbps stream to about 3 or 10 Mbps (depending on the
type of programming). This is the crucial step that has
made DTH service a success.
With digital compression, a typical satellite can transmit
about 200 channels. Without digital compression, it can
transmit about 30 channels.
Geostationary satellite are used for DTH
system.
They are positioned at an exact height of
36,000 km above earth.
A satellite dish is just a special kind of antenna
designed to focus on a specific broadcast
source. The standard dish consists of a parabolic
(bowl-shaped) surface and a central feed horn.
To transmit a signal, a controller sends it
through the horn, and the dish focuses the signal
into a relatively narrow beam.
The dish on the receiving end can’t transmit
information; it can only receive it. The receiving
dish works in the exact opposite way of the
transmitter.
When a beam hits the curved dish, the parabola
shape reflects the radio signal inward onto a
particular point, just like a concave mirror
focuses light onto a particular point.
The end component in the entire satellite TV
system is the receiver. The receiver has four
essential jobs:
It de-scrambles the encrypted signal. In order
to unlock the signal, the receiver needs the
proper decoder chip for that programming
package. The provider can communicate with
the chip, via the satellite signal, to make
necessary adjustments to its decoding
programs.

DTH offers better quality picture than Cable TV.
DTH can reach remote areas where terrestrial
transmission and cable TV have failed to reach.
DTH also allows for interactive TV services such as
movie-on-demand, and e-mail.
In DTH, the payments will be made directly by the
subscriber to the satellite company offering the
service.
Under unfavourable climatic conditions the service
remains unavailable.
The service is interrupted in case if the direction of
dish is disturbed.
Initial cost is high comparing to cable tv.
DTH has made the hopes of the people of rural
areas to come true. In near future, launch of DTH
internet service is expected in our country. It
provide the wide thinking of rural people which
helps to develop the culture of society DTH
connects to every part of the country and provides
desire information communication, education and
entertainment to next level with just a click of a
button.
