set-top box, unlike the regular cable connection, decodes the encrypted transmission.
How does DTH really differ from cable TV?
The way DTH reaches a consumer's home is different from the way cable TV does. In DTH, TV channels would be transmitted from the satellite to a small dish antenna mounted on the window or rooftop of the subscriber's home. So the broadcaster directly connects to the user. The middlemen like local cable operators are not there in the picture.
DTH can also reach the remotest of areas since it does away with the intermediate step of a cable operator and the wires (cables) that come from the cable operator to your house. As we explained above, in DTH signals directly come from the satellite to your DTH dish.
Also, with DTH, a user can scan nearly 700 channels!
Does one need to put two dish antennae and pay double subscription per month if one has two TVs [ Get Quote ]?
For multiple connections in the same premises, one can use the same connection. However, every television set will need to have an individual STB.
Also, DTH is a national service and the STBs enable a viewer to change service providers without changing the STB, even if one moves from one city to another.
Can a CAS set-top box be used for DTH?
No, these are different set-top boxes.
Why is DT
