Real eyes behind the HD promotion of all DTH companies.

[Jerome.J]

DTH companies purposefully don't care much abt the PQ of sd channels.Using more band width they can surely increase the PQ in sd...Currently many DTH companies reached a max customer base they can get...Now to get more income they are promoting HD upgrade....After experiencing HD, customers will stick on HD packs which costs some time double the amount of Sd charges per month....so in effect income doubles for companies like they doubled the customer base....Purposefully they don't elevate the pq of sd channels to their possible max with more band width....If done so HD won't click much in the market....Is it true?

If all DTH cos have 10-12 TPs, they will try to manage max no of channels using those TPs. No DTH co is investing in TP to increase PQ, as DTH co will look at other co before investing in TP.
Now TS is increasing channels by migrating to mpeg4, causing some turbulence. So other cos are feeling the pressure thus thinking of increasing no of channels by acquiring more TPs.
BTW it will be interesting to see PQ of TS channels after migration is complate.
DTH cos luring their SD customers to migrate to HD & offer some free HD pack so that they can experiment with HD. Many will try to stick with HD after this thus increasing ARPU of DTH.
Dishtv already has more no of HD channels & its aggressive ad comparing no of HD channels with TS will increase pressure on TS.
No of HD channels on DTH platform should increase to accelerate competition as currently no of HD chs are not increasing for players like TS.
