Ericsson is enabling DishTv, India’s largest direct-to-home (DTH) satellite operator, to improve its satellite bandwidth efficiency, increase channel capacity and offer more choice to its subscribers in HD and SD. The head-end upgrade enables DishTv’s 7 million subscribers to enjoy new HD services. Viewers can also access new SD channels without the need to swap existing MPEG-2 set-top boxes (STBs). Said Rajiv Khattar, president projects, DishTv, “Ericsson’s solution will help us to roll out several more channels to our subscribers and to give us capacity to offer new HD services.”
