Sun Direct is planning to further increase its HD portfolio by adding many more channels, but after a brief interval to refresh its legacy HD boxes.
At present, it is beaming its HD channels from four transponders located on ISRO’s newly launched GSAT-15 satellite. At 14 HD channels per transponder, that works out to a carrying capacity of 56 HD channels.
Further expansion of HD channels will take place when the broadcaster switches its broadcasting standard from MPEG4 (also known as H.264) to HEVC or H.265 for its HD users.
Such a move will free up 40-45% of the capacity being currently used for HD transmission, and each transponder will then be able to carry 24 HD channels instead of the current 14.
MOD Note :- Don't post from unofficial/Personal blog sites :k
If this is true, it will be history repeating itself and Tata Sky will have to start another round of box replacements
