DishTV launches Personal Live TV

Published by Jaish under TV News

Enjoy 70 satellite TV channels at each seat, while travelling.

Keeping with its tradition of venturing into new technology areas, Dishtv, India’s No. 1 direct- to home company, has launched a revolutionary service in the area of Live TV on the move.  The service called ‘Personal Live TV’ on Move brings 70 satellite TV channels at each seat of the vehicle. The channels are viewable independent of each other and have a personal audio.

Speaking on the occasion, Salil Kapoor, COO, Dishtv said, “We have made some critical technological enhancements in both the mobile STB and the mobile dish antenna to bring live personal TV for the first time on the Indian roads. This service will also be extended in buses, yachts, ships and railways. Earlier, Dishtv was providing a single TV system in vehicles where with one mobile dish antenna only one TV channel could be watched at a time.”

“We realized the need for ‘Personal Live TV’ after taking feedback from our mobile Dishtv customers and channel partners. When a family travels in the same vehicle, each member has a different need, just like in homes. Someone wishes to watch news while someone else a movie; in such an environment personal TV for each passenger becomes very useful. Personal Live TV enables a person to view and enjoy watching the channels of their choice; it’s like having multiple TVs in a house for various family members,” Salil Kapoor added.

Personal Live Television is akin to our technology on the Kingfisher airlines where each seat has about 8 live channels from Dishtv. However, the costs of the on-road system are at a small fraction when compared with the costs of in-flight entertainment systems which run into a few million dollars.  For a 4-seat system in a SUV, the costs would be around Rs 2.45 lakhs, including installation and video screens plus the annual subscription of Rs. 10,000/-. This is truly an ultimate luxury on road and no other expensive car accessory can come even close to its luxury and use. It is for people who value their time and realise that the dead time on the road is the best time to get their daily dose of TV. Since the cost of a single TV system is around Rs 1.9 lakhs, it is better to spend a little extra and have the multi-TV system.

This service is going to be useful for the common man as well. Dishtv plans to soon provide this personalized service in intercity buses, taxis and trains.
