Seminar On: DTH (Direct To Home)

This document provides an overview of direct-to-home (DTH) television in India. It discusses the history and concepts of DTH, how the technology works using satellites and set-top boxes, and the expected growth of DTH subscribers in India from 2003 to 2015. DTH allows people in both urban and rural areas to access over 4000 TV channels and 2000 radio channels through a small dish antenna and set-top box. The technology bypasses local cable operators and allows content providers to connect directly with consumers.

Introduction to DTH

DTH stands for DIRECT-TO-HOME television.


The reception of satellite programmers with a
personal dish in an individual home.
DTH does away with the need for the local cable
operator and puts the broadcaster directly in touch
with consumer .
History of DTH in India

1996 : DTH services were first proposed in India


2000: DTH was allowed with new policy

The operators were required to setup earth stations in


INDIA within 12 month for getting license of broadcasting
whose cost was $2.14 million and will be valid for 10 years.
Basic DTH Network Concepts

Transmission Station
•The transmission station also known as earth station is
used to uplink the contents.
•TV channels would be transmitted from the satellite to a
small dish antenna mounted on the window or rooftop of
the subscriber's home.
 Receive Terminal
•Receive type solid offset antenna
•Interface cables
•Set top box
Receiving Terminal Equipments

Antenna
•Antenna size considerations
•Antenna mounts
•Low Noise Blocker
•Polarization
•Dish material and construction
Set Top Box
•Input voltage range: 90-250V AC
•Frequency connectors: 50Hz ± 5%
WORKING OF DTH
Satellite
•Geostationary satellites play an important role for DTH
systems.
•Geostationary satellites are positioned at an exact height
above the earth (about 36000 Km).
Communication Channel & Bandwidth

•The amount of information depends upon the size


of bandwidth.
•For DTH system communication channel is air and
Band-Width is:
Ku Band Uplink: 13.75 to 14.5 GHz

Ku Band Down links: 10.95 to 11.20 GHz


11.45 to 11.70 GHz
12.50 to 12.75 GHz
DTH Application
To view pay & free-to-air TV channels of various DTH
platform on your home TV.
Doordarshan free-to-air services providing 40 TV channels
with no subscription fees is an attractive preposition to people
in urban and rural areas. These channels comprises of DD
channels and popular channels of news, sports, information,
entertainment etc.
One can scan the entire globe with a motorized dish using a
CI set top box with CAM modules and watch TV channels of
several DTH platforms visible to the dish terminals.
The DTH Category is expected to grow by 680%
or so in the next 7 or 8 years.

Conclusion
DTH connects urban, rural and remote areas of the country
and provides desire information communication, education and
entertainment at the click of a button.

Broad band noise will have negligible effect on GMRT.


Observations, as the minimum separation distance is 90 meters
with the assumption that there is no DTH system in 100 meter
circle from any of the GMRT antennas. Care must be taken for
arm antennas.
