    DTH (Direct-To-Home) television involves receiving satellite programs directly via a small personal dish antenna rather than through a local cable operator. It will allow broadcasters to connect directly with consumers. DTH works by transmitting encoded audio and video signals from a broadcasting center to satellites and then down to users' dish antennas, where set-top boxes decode the signals. Unlike cable TV, DTH reaches users directly from satellites to personal dishes rather than through cables run by operators.

    With the 'CAS' issue not yet resolved, there's 'DTH' coming up to muddle things up for you and

    me.

    Doordarshan will launch its Direct-To-Home telecast from April 1. Broadcasters like Star and
    Zee are pushing hard for DTH services in India [ Images ] too.

    So what is this DTH all about? How, if at all, does it help the customer? Is it good? Let's find
    out.

    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.

    DTH does away with the need for the local cable operator and puts the broadcaster directly in
    touch with the consumer. Only cable operators can receive satellite programmes and they then
    distribute them to individual homes.

    How does DTH work?

    A DTH network consists of a broadcasting centre, satellites,


    encoders, multiplexers, modulators and DTH receivers.

    A DTH service provider has to lease Ku-band transponders from


    the satellite. The encoder converts the audio, video and data
    signals into the digital format and the multiplexer mixes these
    signals. At the user end, there will be a small dish antenna and
    set-top boxes to decode and view numerous channels. On the
    user's end, receiving dishes can be as small as 45 cm in diametre.

    DTH is an encrypted transmission that travels to the consumer directly through a satellite. DTH
    transmission is received directly by the consumer at his end through the small dish antenna. A
    set-top box, unlike the regular cable connection, decodes the encrypted transmission.

    How does DTH really differ from 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.

    Also, with DTH, a user can scan nearly 700 channels!


    Does one need to put two dish antennae and pay double subscription per month if one has
    two TVs [ Get Quote ]?

    For multiple connections in the same premises, one can use the same connection. However,
    every television set will need to have an individual STB.

    Also, DTH is a national service and the STBs enable a viewer to change service providers
    without changing the STB, even if one moves from one city to another.
