Tata Sky can add more 150 SD ch from INSAT-4A

[ayushlabroo]

As above told that Tata Sky can add more 150 SD or 50 HD ch from INSAT-4A. If they use MPEG-4 compression technology to all 12 kU Band transponder then transponder capacity will increase from current 20 SD ch to 35 or 40 SD ch. As tatasky is currently using 80% MPEG-2 and 20% MPEG-4 . So TS should use 100% MPEG 4 to accumulate more space from existing 12 transponders of INSAT-4A.
IF YOU AGREE PLS LIKE IT AND SEND THIS TO TS.

There are many possible solutions to the present mess in which tata sky is today. It was on them to decide. However right time to discuss this particular aspect was in 2010 to 2012 when gsat 10 was getting delayed. Right now with gsat 10 they have too much of space. It is now matter of time. And if gsat 10 fails or something unexpected happens then yes, again moving to mpeg4 will have to be considered. Right now only worry we have that is is no clarity on gsat whatsoever.

But They Have To Replace Their STB

 

[nskaran]

yes that is big issue, they have to replace the set top box with free of cost. So this may hold them from moving to MPEG4 completely.
