DTH (Direct-To-Home ) Television

 DTH(DIRECT-TO-HOME)TELEVISION

DTH stands for Direct-To-Home television. DTH is defined as the reception of satellite programs 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 the consumer. Only cable operators can receive satellite programs and they then distribute them to individual homes.  

How does DTH work?

A DTH network consists of a broadcasting center, satellites, encoders, multiplexers, modulators and DTH receivers.

A DTH service provider has to lease Ku-band transponders from

the satellite. The encoder converts the audio, video and data signals

into the digital format and the multiplexer mixes these signals. At

the user end, there will be a small dish antenna and set-top boxes to

decode and view numerous channels. On the user's end, receiving

dishes can be as small as 45 cm in diameter.

 DTH is an encrypted transmission that travels to the consumer directly through a satellite. DTH transmission is received directly by the consumer at his end through the small dish antenna. A set- top box, unlike the regular cable connection, decodes the encrypted transmission.
