Berlin: Springer Science & Business Media. Satellite Systems:Principles and Technologies. The bandwidth required to carry a single HD channel is approximately equivalent to the bandwidth required to carry 4 SD channels. MPEG-2 permitted each transponder to carry approximately 20 SD channels (fewer, in case of HD channels), while MPEG-4 enables each transponder to carry approximately 50 SD channels (again, fewer in case of HD channels). Upgradation is going on to shift from MPEG2 to MPEG4, but to shift completely from MPEG2 to MPEG4, the subscriber have to change his/her STB 1st because MPEG2 STB can not decode MPEG4 video signal. MPEG-2 is still used by DishTV, TATA Sky, DD Free Dish. Īll DTH services in India currently use the MPEG-4 standard of signal compression. This decision and Dish TV's acquisition of more transponders enabled them to offer 150 channels on their service, more than any other DTH service in India at the time. Following legal proceedings between STAR and Zee, in 2007, the two companies called a truce and began offering their channels on each other's services. Unlike Dish TV, Tata Sky focused on metros and large cities hoping to attract customers away from cable by offering better picture and audio quality and wider selection of channels. Tata Sky launched DTH services in August 2006. Tata Sky was incorporated in 2004 as joint venture between the Tata Group and Star India's Parent Company. The service is free and offers only free-to-air channels. Public broadcaster Prasar Bharati launched DD Direct Plus (now DD Free Dish) in December 2004. Dish TV acquired 350,000 subscribers within 2 years of the launch.
The company decided not to compete against entrenched cable operators in metros and urban areas, and instead focused on providing services to rural areas and regions not serviced by cable television. The first DTH service was launched in India on 2 October 2003 by Dish TV owned by Zee.
