Abstract :

In India, television has been around for quite a long time and has become an integral part of everybody‘s lives as people depend on it for entertainment, knowledge, and communication. The world of television has seen phenomenal changes due to constantly evolving technology. The advent of digital TV has given people the option of selecting a platform of their choice for viewing the television to get the best viewing experience. The two predominant digital TV oadcast platforms existing today in India are digital cable TV and direct to home (DTH). Cable TV is one of the earliest systems to be deployed worldwide against the conventional terrestrial system, which started with the analog system. Signals from various satellites are received at the end of multi– system operators (MSOs) through multiple dish antennae. These signals are transmitted to subscriber homes via coaxial cables through authorized distributors and local cable operators (LCOs) according to area divisions. With digital cable TV, the user all needs to do are install a set top box (STB) at home in order to enjoy the luxury of choosing from a host of channels.
