One of India’s fastest growing DTH service, Videocon d2h is fully geared up for DAS–III, the deadline for which is 31st Dec 2015. The company believes the Phase III of the digital switchover consists of around 50 Million TV Household.
The situation at the moment points towards a possible influx of demand for more Set-Top-Boxes (STBs) running to the end of December. However, Videocon d2h is ready for this situation should there be a huge demand for STBs for the Digitisation phase–III. The cut-off date for analogue connection for DAS Phase III, which covers urban areas, is 31 December 2015.
Mr. Anil Khera, CEO, Videocon d2h said: “Consumers who are on analogue cable mode can subscribe to a Videocon d2h Digital Set Top Box to access uninterrupted services before Digitization is implemented. Videocon d2h has ample STBs to cater to demand of the digitisation towns. Consumers can subscribe to Videocon d2h to avoid a black out of the analogue cable services and enjoy the wide range of channels and services provided.”
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) recently released a statement on December 8 expressing its satisfaction at the progress of the seeding of set-top boxes (STBs) in Phase III areas. TRAI has also advised consumers of urban areas who are still receiving cable TV services without STBs to avail and install STBs before the cut-off date in order to receive uninterrupted TV/services. It has reaffirmed its commitment to meet the deadline in its latest press release. TRAI has been taking steps to create awareness among consumers and stakeholders by holding workshops on the implementation of DAS and consumer outreach programmes.
