3.
 Direct to home (DTH) television is a wireless system
for delivering television programs directly to the
viewer’s house.
 In DTH television, the broadcast signals are
transmitted from satellites orbiting the Earth to the
viewer’s house
 The DTH provides more than 200 television
channels with excellent quality of reception along
with teleshopping, fax and Internet facilities.
 Satellite television solves the problems of range and
distortion by transmitting broadcast signals from
satellites orbiting the Earth
Introduction

4.
 There are five major components involved in a direct
to home (DTH) satellite system: the programming
source, the broadcast center, the satellite, the satellite
dish and the receiver
The Overall System

5.
 The programming source are simply the channels that
provide programming for broadcast
 Satellite TV provider get programming from two major
source: International Channels(such as HBO,ESPN &
CNN)&various Local Channels(Sahara TV,
Doordarshan ).
The Programming Source

6.
 At the broadcast center, the television provider
receives signals from various programming sources
and beams a broadcast signal to satellites in
geostationary orbit.
 The broadcast center converts all of this programming
into a high-quality, uncompressed digital stream.
 At this point, the stream contains a vast quantity of
data about 270 megabits per second (Mbps) for each
channel.
 In order to transmit the signal from there, the
broadcast center has to compress it.
 Otherwise, it would be too big for the satellite to
handle

LNB Feed System
 The central element in the feed horn is low noise block-
down converter.
 Block-down convertor (so called because it converts a
whole band or ‘block of frequencies’ to a lower band) i.e. it
converts the 12.2 to 12.7 GHz band to 950 to 1450 MHz

11.
SET TOP BOX
 The basic Set Top Box (STB) takes the signal from the
satellite dish and converts it into a signal that can be
used by a TV, sound amplifier, etc.

Advantages of DTH
 DTH offers better quality picture than Cable TV.
 DTH can reach remote areas where terrestrial
transmission and cable TV have failed to reach.
 DTH also allows for interactive TV services such as
movie-on-demand ,games and internet

14.
 Under unfavorable climatic conditions the service
remains unavailable.
 The service is interrupted in case if the direction of
dish is disturbed.
Limitation of DTH

15.
 Direct To Home Technology connects urban , rural and
remote areas of the country and provide desire
information, communication, education and entertainment
at the click of button.
