Description:
Abstract:
Direct-to-Home (DTH) systems are designed to transmit television entertainment programs to home receivers. It is a natural extension of satellite TV distribution, using the coverage area and single service provided by the satellite provider. DTH systems use either Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) or Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) as a range of possible applications. This choice has some important implications, but the result is the same for the user. This chapter focuses on the nature of these services and the various factors that need to be addressed. Among the factors are program mix, receiving equipment, acceptance of service price, incompatibilities with other DTH systems, conditional access, encryption, and uplink system. Finally, operational DTH systems in the various continents are presented.
