    DTH stands for Direct-To-Home
    This television service is also called as direct
    broadcast satellite service
     DTH is defined as the reception of satellite
    programmes 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 programmes
    and they then distribute them to individual homes
    History
     DTH services were first proposed in INDIA in 1996.
    But was not approved due to the concerns over
    national security.

     Finally, in 2000 DTH was allowed and it was


    Doordarshan which make it possible to provide its
    facilities to consumers from 1st April 2000.

     Broadcasters like STAR , ZEE, are pushing hard for


    DTH services in INDIA.
    DTH network consists of a

     Broadcasting centre,
     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.
    SET-TOP BOX

    A set-top box (STB) or set-top unit (STU) is a device


    that connects to a television and an external source of
    signal, turning the signal into content which is then
    displayed on the television screen
