4K Service channel renamed as Star Sports 4K by Airtel Digital TV

[kaustuvd]

And adtv smartly named channel 4k service instead of star sports 4k
By this they easily bypass conflict with jio cinemas

What type of conflict now? It will be satelite based channel only. They name their channel whatever they want.

Thanks bro. But How to activate bro? Get the box and insert my smart card and recharge?

Your card not required. Your Uncle VC No required, if you got recharge this VC No and contact CC for activation or give it miss call on 8448284708.

But bro i saw my friends wach hevec movies on normal led tv through pen drive then why not adtv play that i know hevec equals h.265 but isn't any chance adtv compress quality and made available to all

Buddy ur friend's TV would be supporting HEVC compression codec hence u would have been able to watch such content on it via USB. Older Airtel Digital TV SD / HD boxes do not support HEVC compression codec nor does it have 4K chip same is the case for all such boxes of various operators.

HEVC compression helps operator transmit content in excellent quality though using much less bandwidth. So a HD channel using MPEG4 compression can be streamed using 3.5 mbps in excellent quality but using HEVC it can be streamed in same quality in just 2 Mbps....similarly a 4K channel can b transmitted using just 3.5 Mbps bandwidth when operator uses HEVC compression for it as it can air content in same quality using half the bandwidth required as compared to MPEG 4 compression

Update

This Is Purely Satellite Based Service, EPG Also Added

You Can See From Image The Bandwidth Consumption Is Almost 19 Mbps,,,

Channel Is In HEVC Codec

Spoiler: Click Here For EPG

Anna for a 4K channel to be transmitted using HEVC not more than 7 or 8 Mbps bandwidth would be required even if we add all audio or additional features component like multi cam angles in small window etc. If they have allotted 19 Mbps to it so it seems we would be getting full screen option for main feed as well as for multi camera angle feeds

Buddy, Check Airtel Section

I Told Airtel Will Be Providing Multi Cam Feed,,,

Regarding 19 Mbps, I Have Posted, What My Imported STB Showing

Sun direct using hevc compression for hd channels.

Sun direct using hevc compression for hd channels.

All of Sun Direct HD boxes in use would be HEVC compatible if they r indeed using HEVC compression for HD channels . Even Airtel Digital TV new HD boxes r HEVC compatible since many years but the older ones aren't so they cannot transmit HD channels using this compression as all customers won't be able to watch it then. In future when all customers have HEVC HD boxes then HD channels will be migrated to this technology and later on as all SD boxes r changed into HEVC HD boxes then even SD channels will be transmitted using HEVC compression

It requires a mass migration of stb as Tatasky done at time of Mpeg4 migration

As i have stated that they have made available HEVC boxes since a long time hence most of the new customers in last 4 or 5 years would have them. Also they have stopped sale of SD boxes since last 2 or 3 years just like other DTH operators have.
Since long many of those customers who r facing faults/issues in their boxes would also be getting these HEVC boxes.

So one can say that over all these years gradual transition / migration to HEVC HD Boxes has already been done and still continuing...they can accelerate the pace by voluntarily changing all the pending old MPEG4 SD or HD boxes but there is no immediate need to do so as they have ample bandwidth to add required channels and can laese/activate more transponders when needed. Later after some years they easily switchover completely to HEVC compression for transmitting all channels by themselves replacing remaining few old MPEG4 SD / HD boxes with new HEVC ones. There will be minimal 4K content available on TV in future too hence there isn't any need to upgrade HEVC smart boxes to another version of the box compatible more enhanced compression standard
