The Airtel DTH recharge plans and packages are some of the most varied one available in the DTH market today. The technical aspects behind the successful running of a DTH service include the following stages:-
- A Direct-to-home network is made of a broadcasting station, a geostationary satellite, encoders, multiplexers, modulators, DTH receivers.
- In order to be able to transmit signals by the satellite the DTH operator needs to lease the Ku band transponders on the satellite.
- The broadcasting station receives signals from different channels.
- It is the DTH operator that pays the channels direct for broadcasting their channels to the subscribers of the particular DTH service.
- The broadcast center or station relays the signals received from the individual program channels to the satellite.
- The satellite’s first task is to receive the signal from the broadcasting station. The satellite then compresses the signal and transmits the encrypted digital data to the Earth.
- This encrypted transmission is received by the dish antenna that is located at the exterior of the house.
- The signal then passes to the set-top box from the dish. At the STB end, the encoded signal is decoded and allows the customer to view the channel as per his selection.
For all this service DTH service providers like Airtel Digital TV charges its customers through different Airtel DTH recharge plans. Some of these top-up and Airtel DTH recharge packs start as low as Rs. 99/- and go up to few thousand rupees for the yearly subscription.
