DTH offers better quality picture than cable TV and stereophonic sound effects. It reaches even those places where cable is not available. This service is also providing value-added services that include teletext, dual audio for channels, parental control, electronic programme guide and radio channels.

DTH has also allows for interactive TV services such as movie-on-demand, Internet access, video conferencing and e-mail. If you want to record your favorite programs you can get a free DVR (digital video recorder) receiver.
