INTRODUCTION
The term DTH stands for Direct To Home.
DTH television is a wireless system for delivering
television programs directly to the viewers house.
Defined as the reception of satellite programs with a
personal dish in an individual home.
DTH symbols the Transmission of digital video
channel to home subscribers through small dish
antenna
HISTORY
DTH services were first proposed in India in 1996 but
failed with approval.
Due to national security, In 1997 Again Ban imposed
Rupert Murdoch- owned INDIAN SKY
BRODCASTING(ISKYB).
Finally Approved & Allowed in 2000.
New policy requires all operators to set up in 12
months for license.
DTH licenses in India will cost $2.14 million and will be
valid for 10 years.
A DTH consists of:
Minidish antenna
LNBF
Coaxial cable
Connector
Set top box
BASIC PRINCIPLE
In DTH television , the broadcast signals are transmitted
from satellites orbiting the Earth to the viewers house.
Each satellite is located approximately 35,700km above the
Earth in geosynchronous orbit.
These satellites receive the signals from the broadcast
stations located on Earth and rebroadcast them to the Earth.
The viewers dish picks up the signal from the satellite and
passes it on to the receiver located inside the viewers house.
The receiver processes the signal and passes it on to the
television.
The DTH television is used in millions of homes across United
States ,Europe and South East Asia.

OPERATION
The block diagram of DTH TV system can be
divided into two sections:
Outdoor Unit
Indoor Unit

OUTDOOR UNIT
The outdoor unit consist of :
1) The parabolic satellite antenna
2) Low noise amplifier(LNA)
3) Converter
Outdoor unit cont..
The receiver antenna is a parabolic reflector horn antenna
which is directed directly to the satellite to receive the signal.
The received signal from satellite by the antenna is applied to
the low noise amplifier(LNA) which is a wide band amplifier.
LNA amplifies all the frequencies received from the antenna
and applies them to a converter. The second input to this
converter is from the local oscillator 1
The converter output consist of a UHF signal having a
frequency range from 950-1450 MHz with a bandwidth of
500 MHz
The output of converter is applied to the RF amplifier

INDOOR UNIT
It consist of an RF amplifier which is applied to a
channel selector to select the desired channel with
the help of the mixer & local oscillator too.
An IF frequency of 70MHz is produced.
The RF amplifier applied these to video-audio
detector which separates the video , audio &
synchronous pulses.
The TV receiver then works as usual.
A DBS(Directly Broadcast Satellite) concept is used
in DTH system.

DTH Vs CABLE TV
Satellite TV involves receiving signals from a satellite
where as cable TV entails airing programs.
The biggest difference between satellite and cable
TV is the picture and sound quality.
Unlike cable TV, satellite TV programs are excellent
quality with some of them being high definition.
Here are some guidelines that can help compare Dish
Network with cable TV.
COMPARISION
DISH TV
Dish network features, HD,
Dolby5.1ch, CD sound superior
picture quality with huge nos of
Channelaccess.
Dish tv has remote geographical
access with limited installation
Special features- recording and
play games , study aids for children,
and language Home tutorial packages,
with MOVIES On demand.
CABLE TV
Average Accessed quality of sound
and picture, Limited numbers of
channels accessed.
able for subscriber is a limited to
C
wire but major to the supplier with
huge installation.
able TV had manual access with
C
least features but with Cable modem
net.
SOME OF THE FEATURES OF DTH
DTH offers better quality picture than Cable TV.
DTH can reach remote areas where terrestrial
transmission and cable TV have failed to penetrate.
DTH has 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.
DTH SERVICE PROVIDERS
India currently has 6 major DTH service providers and a
total of over 5 million subscriber households.
Tata group and Star network owned Tata Sky

Zee group owned Dish TV

Sun network owned SUNDIRECT DTH.

Reliance owned BIG TV

Bharti Airtels DTH

DD Direct Plus India - DTH Potential

DTH to grow from 3.2 mn in 2007 to 43 mn by 2015,

with 30% share of Pay TV

CONCLUSION
DTH has made the hopes of the people of rural areas
to come true. It helps to develop and explore the
ignited mind of people of India to think beyond the
scope of imagination. It also helps to develop the
economic conditions of a country
The DTH market in INDIA is relatively increase day -by-
day, Major competitors like Airtel ,Reliance,TATA,
Videocon market clash would managed to overtake
Japan as the largest DTH market in Asia .
In the next 4-5 years (by 2014-15) we will be able to
add another 30 million subscribers
