India green lights two more DTH players !

India's broadcasting ministry has approved plans by Space TV and Sun TV to launch direct-to-home (DTH) digital satellite broadcasting services.
The new services will compete against Dish TV, launched in 2003, and the free-to-air service DD Direct Plus, launched last December.
Space TV is owned by India's Tata group and News Corporation's Star.
The broadcasting ministry issued a letter of intent which will be followed by a formal licence enabling Space TV to launch its pay-TV service by the end of the year.
Vikram Kaushik, chief executive of Space TV, said: "We are very excited that the clearance has been awarded.
"Both partners, Tata and Star, are fully committed to invest in building a high quality digital infrastructure in the country to offer a world class television viewing experience to Indian households.
"We believe the service will immensely enhance the choices of viewers looking for the best of pay television services in the country."

What is DTH?

DTH stands for Direct-To-Home television. DTH is defined as the reception of satellite programmes with a personal dish in an individual home.

DTH does away with the need for the local cable operator and puts the broadcaster directly in touch with the consumer. Only cable operators can receive satellite programmes and they then distribute them to individual homes.
