...DIRECT TO HOME TELEVISION (DTH) Today, most satellite TV customers in developed television markets get their programming through a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) provider, such as DISH TV or DTH platform. The provider selects programs and broadcasts them to subscribers as a set package. Basically, the provider’s goal is to bring dozens or even hundreds of channels to the customers television in a form that approximates the competition from Cable TV. Unlike earlier programming, the provider’s broadcast is completely digital, which means it has high picture and stereo sound quality. Early satellite television was broadcast in Cband - radio in the 3.4-gigahertz (GHz) to 7-GHz frequency range. Digital broadcast satellite transmits programming in the Ku frequency range (10 GHz to 14 GHz ). There are five major components involved in a direct to home (DTH) satellite system: the programming source, the broadcast center, the satellite, the satellite dish and the receiver. THE COMPONENTS 1 Programming sources are simply the channels that provide programming for broadcast. The provider (the DTH platform) doesn’t create original programming itself; it pays other companies (HBO, for example, or ESPN or STAR TV or Sahara etc.) for the right to broadcast their content via satellite. In this way, the provider is kind of like a broker between the viewer and the actual programming sources. (Cable television networks also work on the same principle.) The broadcast center is the central...

That is “Doordarshan” which was owned and operated by government of India. At the time of 90’s every home which had a TV set used to have its own antenna to capture the signals. The Cable Television Ordinance Law was passed in January 1995. This enabled cable operators to feed channels and later on private companies were allowed to air their own channels and this led to the explosive growth in number of TV channels and number of cable operators. The growth of TV channels & cable operators created a big industry and market opportunities. There were as many as 1, 00,000 cable operators across India until few years back. However the services provided by cable operators were poor. The strikes, increase in tariff plan, selective broadcast and poor services were major cause of dissatisfaction among the customers. This has created an opportunity for DTH. What is DTH? DTH stands for Direct-To-Home, it’s a system that allows you to have a personal dish antenna how cable operators do, except it’s much smaller in size, this antenna can be fixed on your terrace and receives transmissions directly from a satellite, hence it is called as a direct to home service. Direct to...

...Chapter 1 (Introduction) INTRODUCTION:- 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. Also, with DTH, a user can scan nearly 700 channels! 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... From slums to high rises, interior villages to the swankiest locations, one consumer electronic appliance that you’ll see in Indian homes is the TV. A report from a market research firm pegs TV sales at 1.87 corer units in 2011, with a growth rate of 9 per cent per annum. In the mid 80s, after the Asian Games had kicked off the television revolution in India, the content provider was the state channel Doordarshan. There were no...

...Competitive Strategies, Positioning & Branding of DTH Companies in India ABSTRACT In early 2000’s India saw its first Direct To Home (DTH) company emerge in the form Essel Group’s Dish TV Network. Tata Sky as an offering from the house of Tata’s came in 2006. Later on five more players joined the industry. By 2010 the industry was turning very aggressive & all players fiercely fought competition. Not just market leader & challenger but all players in the industry were playing with keen interest because of the size of this industry in India. The Indian DTH Market is projected to become the world’s largest DTH Market in 2012 itself. The regulations that necessitate digitization of television content & signals will also drive the sale of this product in the time to come. The advantage over cable & satellite service providers that it gives, rural & remote transmission because of wireless service, technological advances like electronic program guide that it provides makes it an enticing product for consumers. In race to acquire maximum customers companies have been fiercely fighting on the price point as well. Doordarshan’s DD Direct Plus with a conglomeration of free to air channels only plays at a different level for rural masses & economy seekers. The competition in the mainstream is mainly between the Dish TV & Tata Sky, with Airtel Digital TV, Reliance Big TV, Videocon D2H & Sun Direct Plus playing on a different platter. It becomes...

...market-driven communication products and services. Successful satellite communications ventures will be those whose investors, engineers, and business managers are most knowledgeable about the evolving capabilities and limitations of satellites as well as the economic and strategic positioning of space businesses with respect to terrestrial alternatives. GETTING THE RIGHT BUSINESS MODEL As the telecommunications industry goes through major transitions of re-regulation, converged services on next generation packet networks, new models of access and metered pricing the satellite industry is ‘discovering itself’ through experiences such as major and growing successes in DTH entertainment as well as uncertain investments in what now appears to have been highly speculative new mobile satellite telephony projects. So the question remains: what commercial communication satellite businesses and associated architectures will prevail, and why? The measures of success for commercial communication satellite-related businesses are the same as for any business – profitability, popularity, value, competitiveness, market share and simplicity. What is absolutely crucial to remember is that the end customer is only motivated by (and will only pay for) the...

Tata Sky DTH endeavors to offer Indian viewers a world-class television viewing experience through its satellite television service. As we talk about DTH which stands for Direct-To-Home, it's a system that allows you to have a personal dish antenna how cable operators do, except it's much smaller in size, this antenna can be fixed on your terrace and receives transmissions directly from a satellite, hence it is called as a direct to home service. Direct to home is different in the way of size of the antenna require is much smaller, the city will have less wires from one building to another and you have the flexibility of moving out without searching for new cable operators.

...number of TV households in India is estimated to be around 147 million.The cable industry has grown from 0.4 million cable homes in January 1992 to an estimated 94 million cable TV homes in 2011. Furthermore,there were around 20 pay channels in 1995, whereas today there are more than 800 channels registered with Ministry of Information & Broadcasting,out of which around 167 are pay channels. The exceptional growth in number of TV channels combined with the inherent limitations of the analog cable TV systems has posed several challenges to the cable TV sector,mainly due to capacity constraints and non-addressable nature of the network.With time and evolution of technology, new addressable digital TV platforms like DTH,IPTV etc. are now available.The evolution of technology has also paved the way for bringing about digitization with addressability in the cable TV sector. The digitization of cable TV is a step forward towards the removal of the shortcomings of the analog cable TV systems like the non-addressability and the capacity constraints. In the digital addressable systems, service providers can offer more channels and consumers can select the channels of their choice.Also, the digital addressable system opens out additional business opportunities to the service providers in the form of value added and interactive services. It would enable provision of broadband and triple play (voice, video and data) services. In addition...
