The
changing trends in the television industry has led to a lot many questions
arising in the mind of the consumers. a commonly asked question today is WHAT IS DIGITAL
TV? TV channels we watch are
the result of the television signals. These signals can be sent through analog,
digital and terrestrial format. Digital
television (DTV) is
the transmission of audio and video by digitally processed and multiplexed
signal, in contrast to the totally analog and channel separated signals used by analog.
The central government is aiming at digitalization that is replacing broadcast analog
television with digital television to allow other uses of the
television radio spectrum.
Another
common question arising in mind of the customer today is WHAT IS DTH?, a common term used by all network
providers. DTH is an acronym for ‘Direct to Home’ service. D2H used by Videocon
services also stands for the same. DTH is a
digital satellite service that provides television viewing services directly to
subscribers through satellite transmission anywhere in the country. A dish
placed outside a home helps in receiving the signals and broadcasting the
transmission onto a television. DTH
allows the users to select the TV channels and
pay only for those. These channels can be managed through TV recharge. TV
recharge is a prepaid system where customer selects the pack of channels they
want to view and pay according to the rate of the pack. These recharges can be
done monthly, quarterly, half yearly, yearly or upto 3 years according to the
convenience of the customer. Most of the companies providing DTH services have
made packages by clustering various TV channels. The customer can select the
best package according to his needs.
