DishTV and Airtel has now come up with a way for people to enjoy live TV on the move. Airtel is in talks with various automobile companies to install their mobile DTH units.
DishTV has launched a new system which is similar to the standard DishTV setup one can install at home, and provides all the same television channels, all in the comfort of your car. The only notable difference between what one gets in their car and their home is an antenna specially designed to working in moving vehicles.
How does Dish TV Direct-to-Car system work?
At the heart of the system is a specialized antenna which is mounted on the vehicle's roof and is designed to automatically track the DishTV satellite regardless of the vehicle's orientation and speed of travel. The company currently two types of unique antennas, the Speed Ray and the T5, which differ vastly in their capabilities. The T5 is the entry-level antenna which is an aerodynamically designed 'tub' that magnetically latches on to the roof. Inside the tub, the antenna apparatus can change direction and angle using electric motors to maintain 'line-of-sight' to the satellite.
This 8kg antenna can only be used in the Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh region and has the ability to receive 70 channels. The larger and heavier (25kg) Speed Ray antenna is more high-tech than the T5 and looks flat and sleek like a wide surfboard mounted on roof rails. It is also more potent in its abilities, being able to work all over India and receiving almost 100 channels.
