Digitisation - Better service

What Digitisation mean?

TV signals are currently distributed in the country in analog as well as in digital formats. A digital format provides better picture quality & sound and other benefits leading to a better quality service. Most cable operators in the country are providing analog TV service while all DTH operators are providing a digital TVservice. Digitisation means that all cable TV households would receive digital TV signals through a Set Top Box. As part of Digitisation, every cable operator will be legally bound to transmit digital signals, which can be received at the subscriber's home only through a Set Top Box, often called a STB.

Benefits of Digitisation

It will provide a better TV viewing experience for consumers. They will enjoy better picture & sound clarity, a range of Interactive services and the freedom to choose from a bouquet of channels & pay only for those selected.

Does everyone have to buy a Set Top Box?

A Set Top Box will be necessary to continue receiving signals from the service provider of our choice (Cable operator/DTH operator). The Set Top Box can be either procured from your existing cable operator or you can upgrade to a DTH operator of our choice. If we don't buy a Set Top Box before that you may not be able to continue watching cable television.

What if the cable operators do not provide a Set Top Box?

Cable operators who do not provide a Set Top Box may no longer be able to continue their service. All such cable TV homes may not be able to watch TV channels without a Set Top Box.

While you have the choice of buying a Set Top Box from your cable operator, it is advisable to evaluate all the options available in the market before buying any Set Top Box.
