[icernet] Direct to your home soon? - DTH

[Arul Selvan]

The introduction of CAS has provoked interest in what is likely to be 
the next phase in the restructuring of the satellite broadcasting 
industry in India: DTH. Direct-To-Home services are essentially those 
that deliver a bundle of encoded channels straight to a television set 
via a satellite. The viewer requires an antenna to receive the signals 
and a set-top-box to decode them. Transmission invariably is on Ku band 
as signals in the conventional C band require antennae that are much too 
large and unwieldy.
