Can Cable TV be viewed w/o STB post digitisation ?

@DTH Forum,

Not sure if this query is relevant to our DTH forum, but still curious to know what happens post digitisation

1. Current Cable TV n/w is anolog wired signal, post digitisation means STB required to digitize the signal and receive in a AV mode for better clarity.

2. Assuming a home having multiroom-TV connection, still they only procure one STB, and the other room connection they still can continue to watch in analog signal, cable is anyway connected. I don't think MSO's can control at receiving end. So the purpose of TRAI can only be partially achieved (ie) streamlining relay, uniformity and accountability, knowing exact figures of revenue/numbers


This is my understanding,correct me if Iam wrong, your suggestions welcome !

Each TV will require its own STB as signals will be in digital format

It is not possible friend u have to buy Set Top Box for every TV from ur cable TV provider :wall and I think it's much better for U to buy a DTH like VideoCon D2H or AirTel Digital much better than traditional cable TV providers with much better support.

BTW-I migrated to DTH recently. But the question I posted on cable TV w/o DTH and assumption answer is correct

Here nearby my home, Cable operators are providing only one STB unit for main TVconnection, multi rooms still are able to watch w/o STB, thou in analog form. He is "adjusting" the rounded monthly payment to his convenience depending on number of addln room connections. In this way local cable TV, which already is an unorganised sector, is defeating the purpose of digitisation of Govt to bring in accountability on how many connections are exactly used ? DTH providers will lose here also since for example if I have 3 TV connections, I have to pay 3xX as subcription, while the local cable guy is charging only the first one, next 2 he is "adjusting" say at 50% less for example as rounded amount. So only way to prevent this is at relay end from the channels itself or MSO end,if they have some measures to control this

@Forum - Any suggestions?
