How does DTH network work


In simple terms the service provider broadcasts the signal that is sent to the satellite that then transmits the signal back to earth which is picked up by your dish antenna and fed to your television set.

A DTH service provider has to lease Ku-band transponders from the satellite. The encoder converts the audio, video and data signals into the digital format and the multiplexer mixes these signals. At the user end, there will be a small dish antenna and set-top boxes to decode and view numerous channels On the user's end, receiving dishes can be as small as 45 cm in diametre.
DTH is an encrypted transmission that travels to the consumer directly through a satellite. DTH transmission is received directly by the consumer at his end through the small dish antenna. A set-top box, unlike the regular cable connection decodes the encrypted transmission.

The Ku band pronounced "kay-yoo" is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in the range of frequencies. This symbol refers to "K-under" (in the original German, "Kurz-unten", with the same meaning)—in other words, the band directly below the K-band. In radar applications, it ranges from 12 to 18GHz according to the formal definition of radar frequency band nomenclature in IEEE Standard 521-2002.

High-definition television

High-definition television (or HDTV, or just HD) refers to video having resolution substantially higher than traditional television systems (standard-definition TV, or SDTV, or SD). HD has one or two million pixels per frame, roughly five times that of SD

HDTV broadcast systems are identified with three major parameters:

  • Frame size in pixels is defined as number of horizontal pixels × number of vertical pixels, for example 1280 × 720 or 1920 × 1080. Often the number of horizontal pixels is implied from context and is omitted.
  • Scanning system is identified with the letter P for progressive scanning or I for interlaced scanning.
  • Frame rate is identified as number of video frames per second. For interlaced systems an alternative form of specifying number of fields per second is often used.

While referring to HDTC Specifications, we usually 1080p, what does it mean here....

What is TAR File?

Tar (derived from tape archive and commonly referred to as "tarball") is both a file format(in the form of a type of and the name of a program used to handle such files.

Conventionally, uncompressed tar archive files have names ending in ".tar".

Unlike ZIP archives, tar files (somefile.tar) are commonly compressed as a whole rather than piecemeal. Applying a utility such as gzip, bzip2, lzip, lzma or compress to a tar file produces a compressed tar file, typically named with an extension indicating the type of compression ( e.g.: somefile.tar.gz).


A tar file is the concatenation of one or more files. Each file is preceded by a 512-byte record. The file data is written unaltered except that its length is rounded up to a multiple of 512 bytes and the extra space is zero filled. The end of an archive is marked by at least two consecutive zero-filled records. (The origin of tar's record size appears to be the 512-byte disk sectors used in the Version 7 Unix file system.)
