DTH or direct to home services have improved in leaps and bounds in India. Basically, DTH television can be defined as the process of receiving satellite channels and programs with the assistance of a personal dish in a home or a private place.
The DTH services have alleviated the need of a local cable TV operator and have brought in a revolution. DTH services connect the broadcaster directly with the end customer. The main advantage of DTH facility is that it can reach the remotest of areas, especially the hill stations, since there is no need for any cables. The DTH signals directly come from the satellite to the DTH dish.
The number of channels that can be viewed through DTH is also significantly higher, as compared to normal cable TV viewing. Furthermore, in India, cable TV transmission is analog and so, the DTH service, which is digital, has better picture quality. DTH services also offer movie- on -demand, internet access, video conferencing, e-mail and stereophonic sound effects. What else can one ask for?
Fundamentally, there are five serious contenders for DTH services in India, such as the Airtel digital TV, Sun Direct, Reliance Big TV, Tata Sky and the Dish TV. With the fall of the dish and set top box price, DTH services in India are constantly on the rise.
It is a win- win situation for the service provider and the customer because the overall investment for starting a DTH infrastructure has also gone down. Most of the dish TV operators offer charges only for viewing the particular number of channels which is a very attractive offer.
More over, DTH services have come in the right time. This is because the government is considering Conditional Access System that will, in effect, make the cable user pay more. So, it is no surprise that more and more people are opting to DTH services in India.
In this fast world, it is highly essential to keep up with the pace of our counterparts in other parts of the globe. DTH service in India helps to achieve just that.
