THE ALL NEW FREQUENCY - RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE

As Albert Einstein quoted “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler.” The all new technology based Radio Frequency (RF)Remote makes life more simpler and watching TV more entertaining as now one don’t need to point remote at the TV and try to change channels. Voice based controls, gesture based controls where remote can be twisted clockwise to turn the volume up and anticlockwise to turn the volume down is being incorporated in the latest RF remotes. Technologies like Bluetooth low energy, low-power Wi-Fi, ZigBee RF4CE are also being featured in RF remotes. Now with RF remote, channels can be changed while sitting in another room also.

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower”, aptly said by Steve Jobs. Videocon has always attracted customers by its innovation and hence is the leader in the market. Many such innovations in the DTH field like the HD TV and Set top box with the ability to record the programs and playback at one’s command are some of the examples. One of the completely out of the box feature that Videocon recently added to its league is the RF remote.

Everyone has their own interests of watching TV shows. In this conflicting situation watching TV can sometimes turn into a nuisance due to the high volume of the show one doesn’t like. This problem has been brilliantly addressed by Videocon by introducing a wireless radio frequency remote control with earphones.  Earphones can be plugged into the remote and TV can be now watched without disturbing others. By personalizing the TV experience Videocon has surely added another golden feather in its cap.

The RF remote and set top box communicates through wireless transmission; headphones are connected to the remote using an audio socket for listening purposes. One point to be noted is that only High Definition (HD) set top boxes support this RF remote and is not supported by the Standard Definition (SD) set top boxes.

Transforming from Analog to Digitization

Television in India has witnessed a major transformation over the decades embarking the journey of digitization. As the Cable Television Network Act 2011 has made it mandatory for all analog cable TV to switch over digitization, the market has changed dramatically offering better viewing experience for viewers.

The target cities of digitization are Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata and Chennai. There were 3 different phases of channelizing the network that will also reach to towns and districts. However, with the question like what is digitization, the answer is provided by the providers. Company like Videocon D2H has made the service more interesting by offering extra features and service.

The Beneficiaries:

The providers like Videocon D2H, TATA Sky and Airtel are not the one who are going to benefit with this switch over, but also the users. Providers will be benefited with ARPU (Average Revenue Per User). Moreover, Broadcasters also will be able to get the accurate number of their subscribers through this digitization, which is not possible with an analog cable thereby increasing their subscription revenue.

According to the The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry in India study, presently the number of household TV users are estimated to more than 150 million and cable TV homes are about more than 100million. There has been a huge challenge for the installation of digital connection to each of these households. Among the major challenges are concerns about the timely installation of digital set top boxes in all television households; questions about the availability of necessary funds for the procurement of new digital cable boxes.

Changing from Analog to Digitization:

There has been a huge change seen in analog TV users who are now switching over to digital service. There is a huge limitation in analog service including limited channels, high charges and not so crisp channels.

In India, DTH providers are not leaving any stone unturned to attract consumers switching from analog cable to digital TV.

The Rise of DTH Players in Digitisation:

DTH players are concentrating in rural areas where TV audience are increasing rapidly and switching over to digital service. With the onset of digitization, service providers got an entry to the urban markets in the early phases of digitisation. Urban subscribers are also having options of choosing STB from local cable operators; however, they get limited service and channels compared to digital company.

Though the digitisation has emerged as new player, it couldn’t overthrow the cable operating service. According to the set top box seeding status of phase II released by government, DTH players in India could grab about 30% of the market share. This is something that can worry DTH players in near future.

However, players like Videocon D2H is gaining momentum and ensuring that the user gets good service under best package. They are not only offering service to single user in building, but the entire residents of the building. This certainly helps the company to get more subscribers and earn good revenue by offering quality service.

Conclusion:

No doubt, digitisation has been a game changer and getting the process ahead to rich more TV audience, also giving tuff competition to cable operators.

Why should one Switch from Analog to Digital TV?

The age of digital advancement has taken the new step with viewers switching from analog to digital TV. The reason behind this switch is the quality of service that is offered under affordable charges. Earlier during 80s, viewers had no other choice apart from Doordarshan and private cable operators who used to levy high charges on viewers. However, as the time changed analog service was overtaken by digital TV with good features and effective service. The D2H service came along with digital TV box which is connected to TV and dish antenna.

Digital TV box is nothing but small equipment which has now become mandatory to get the best viewing experience. It comes with an internal chip which stores all the data and helps in running the system. The digital TV in India is taking the market into surprise.

Digital TV is offered in two different forms- standard definition and high definition. It also depends on the type of service you are taking. As per the reports, the market of STB will grow by 29.3 percent by 2015. The main reason behind this growth is the introduction of HD and smart TV.

• Multiple Options: Viewers installing this set are offered with multiple features that create more reason to view. DTV signal present in the system offers multiple programming choices.
• Different Packages: One of the major reasons why one should switch from analog to digital is the package offered by the operators. D2H companies ensure that viewers get different packages to choose and use the service accordingly.

Digital Service to every household:

TV viewing in India presently is provided through three mediums- Analog Cable Service, Digital Cable Service and Digital DTH service. Presently, the TV market is run by digital DTH service offered by major players in India. So viewers have options to choose from and use the service. This has also created interest in providers to offer better service. However, it has now become mandatory for every household in India to upgrade their analog TV to digital TV.
