DAS

The Government of India had issued an ordinance, which subsequently was introduced and passed by the parliament in Dec 2011, thereby making it the law of the land. This act mandates digitization of all the analogue Cable TV networks to be converted to Digital Addressable Systems (DAS) by 31st December 2014. This means that all the households viewing Cable Television will compulsorily need to have a Set-Top-Box (STB) to view the services whether Free-to-air or Pay and even the Doordarshan channels.

The Government plans to implement the Digitalization in 4 phases. The first phase will cover 3 metros viz. Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata. The second phase will include cities with population of around 1 million, the third phase will cover all other urban areas excluded in phase 2 and phase 4 will cover rest of India.

Digitalization will enable enhanced service offerings, improved Quality of Service, optimum Bandwidth utilization and implementation of Value Added Services (VAS). Consumers will also be able to watch high quality Digital television channels of their choice on a-la-carte basis. Also, Digital systems have the capacity to deliver many more channels to the consumers than analogue cable at affordable prices.

SBN cable has wholeheartedly endorsed and supported this mandate and is geared up for the implementation of Digitalization. We are poised to launch Asia’s first 500 channel plus Digital TV service on our Cable TV platform. Our esteemed customers will now get Asia’s best digital service with an astounding choice of over 500 channels in superb digital quality with more than 50 exclusive channels available only on SBN cable along with a host of other upcoming State-of-the-art exclusive services viz.
