Penetration of Digital DTH in India

The penetration of digital DTH service in India has grown exponentially in the past 1 year, thanks to mandatory digitization starting with four metros. But for many, especially in rural India have this question in mind, what is dth?

So what is dth exactly?

The dth technology is a digital satellite tv service that provides television services direct to subscribers anywhere in the country. Since it makes use of wireless technology, programs are sent to the subscriber's television direct from the satellite, eliminating the need for cables and any cable infrastructure. This is particularly valuable in remote and difficult to reach areas where cable and in many cases, terrestrial television services are poor or nonexistent.  

Digital DTH services also provide the finest of picture and sound quality which is considered to be second to none worldwide. Now surround sound, home theaters, live concerts and daily television programming are all delivered to your home with the same quality as any modern movie theater

The latest advent of dth technology in India is HD DVR (high definition digital video recorder). The customer is able to record his favorite shows, sporting events or any other media on his hard disk in the set top box and can watch it at his ease. Its only because of this dth technology that we can now pause, rewind or skip any program on any channel. If this trend continues than hd dvr will become more of a necessity than a luxury
