Gone are those days when every month on a specific Sunday your cable wala would ring your doorbell and ask for the monthly charges. Now it’s time for direct-to-home services. Or as it is called “DTH”. You could just get your dth recharged online. Introduction of dth has made life of the common man simple. Now, you won’t be disturbed every month on a lazy Sunday to pay your cable charges. You dont have to call the cable operators office to get a certain sports channel to watch a match. You get to choose the channels you want to watch and don’t have to pay for other unwanted regional channels. Just recharge online for the channels that you watch. All this and more due to DTH.
So what is this DTH all about?? The first dth service was introduced by Sky Television plc in 1989 in The United Kingdom. It’s a different thing that the dishes at that time very huge if not gigantic. Today’s dish which is less than a diameter looks like a miniature dish of the 1990’s dish. The first DTH service in India was introduced by Dish TV in 2004. And many more companies followed the trend. The booming and growing dth industry has almost wiped the traces of the local cable services. It won’t be long before the local cable operators are extinct like the dinosaur.
This extinction would be justified as well because dth services have an edge over local cable operators. They provide high definition picture quality with better audio quality. Users don’t have to pay for unwanted channels which are never watched. The users get to select channels of his interest. There are also on-demand movies which a user can watch with his family at his home. Lately they have introduced a new service where in live match or program can be recorded and can be viewed later. And also dth can be recharged at the click of a button.
DTH in India is booming at a very rapid pace. One of the best performing DTH is Videocon d2h. Videocon d2h is latest entrant in the dth industry but in spite of this fact it has done tremendously well. In fact in the 2 quarter of 2011 i.e April to June Videocon d2h was the best performing dth. Adding about 7 lakh new customers.

Digitization, The Way Ahead...
According to the IAMAI report, the total number of Internet users in India has crossed the 100 million mark in November 2011, which embarks the digitization wave in the country. Another feather in the cap to this achievement is the acceptance of the recommendations of TRAI for implementation of digital addressable cable television systems in India by the Information and Broadcasting (I&B) ministry.
With Digitization, the ultimate beneficiary will be the customer who will get an enhanced television viewing experience. Leading DTH players like Videocon d2h, Tata Sky, Dish TV and Airtel would also be largely benefited by this as the analog Cable TV subscribers are likely to switch to any of these BIG DTH players which will in turn help significantly in increasing the ARPU (Average Revenue per User). The 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.
The Bill seeks to digitize the analog cable sector in the country by 31st Dec, 2014. The plan is to digitize the cable television in the 4 metros by June 30, 2012. After this, the target will be cities with a population above 10 lakh and finally the rest of India. Experts believe that this digitization process will require investment to the tune of Rs. 40,000 – Rs. 50,000 crore.
Now since the bill is passed, DTH players are not leaving any stone unturned to attract consumers to switch from analog cable to digital DTH Services. DTH players like Videocon d2h, Tata Sky and Dish TV are also focusing to digitize the whole building instead of single apartments which are called Multi Dwelling Units (MDU). The benefits of Videocon d2h’s MDUs are clutter free terrace, systematic wiring, no line of sight issue, one single antenna and the cost.
