Ultra high definition will appear on satellite platforms next year after which it will see exponential growth, becoming a “solid niche market” in the medium term, according to new research.

NSR forecasts that by 2025 over 820 channels will be carried in ultra HD via satellite. With Direct to Home (DTH) leading the charge, this next generation technology will not only lead to higher ARPUs, but also greater customer retention, the analysts believe.

DTH platforms will still lead the way, with over 560 4k and 8k UltraHD channels being broadcast, however, cable and IPTV will also see healthy demand growth via satellite, with 260+ channels distributed to cable and IPTV headends.

Unlike with HD, NSR reckons pricing and content are not as big a hurdle with UltraHD, with compatible TV sets reducing in price to as low as $1,000 today. Further, as compared to HDTV, a number of satellite operators and DTH platforms, from regions as diverse as North America to South Asia, are investing heavily in UHD content and UHD compatible set-top boxes.

There’s some good news for early
adopters of 4K televisions at last – so
long as they don’t mind waiting a while.
Ultra high-def satellite broadcasts are a
bit thin on the ground at the moment,
but by the year 2025 it’ll be a
completely different story, as there will
be over 820 channels to choose from.
This latest prediction (which no one will
remember to verify) comes courtesy of
the research firm Northern Sky
Research (NSR), which says the expected
proliferation of Ultra HD satellite TV
channels will lead to greater customer
retention and higher ARPUs (average
revenue per user).
NSR says that “all regions” will be able
to see some ultra high-definition (UHD)
broadcasts, via DTH (direct-to-home)
and satellite to IPTV and Cable TV
providers. However it will be DTH that
provides the vast majority of 4K and 8K
channels, totalling some 560, while
cable and IPTV will account for 260+
channels.
NSR Analyst Alan Crisp notes that unlike
Full HD TVs, which remained
prohibitively expensive for the vast
majority of consumers for years, the
price of 4K TVs is eroding very quickly.
That should lead to faster adoption of
4K, and content providers are moving
quickly to take advantage of it.
“A number of satellite operators and
DTH platforms, from regions as diverse
as North America to South Asia, are
investing heavily in UHD content and
UHD compatible set-top boxes,” said
Crisp.
With so many channels to choose from,
there’s going to be quite a bit of money
to be made too. NSR forecasts revenue
growth of $370 million from capacity
leasing for 4K content. In addition, 4K
TV will also become an important
differentiator for those DTH platforms
that get in on the act first.
Of course, all of this is years away from
actually happening. For the rest of this
decade 4K Ultra HD will likely remain a
niche product. NSR isn’t the first to say
this – earlier this week The Diffusion
Group made a similar claim, saying 4K
won’t become mainstream until 2019 at
the earliest, citing the lack of 4K
content as the main reason for the slow
rate of adoption. 820 4K & 8K Satellite TV Channels Projected by 2025

A new report by research firm Northern Sky Research (NSR) says that by 2025, there will be over 820 ultra HD (UHD) definition satellite channels across the world. This, according to the research, will lead to greater customer retention and higher average revenue per user (ARPUs).

Although every region will be able to have at least a few UHD channels through DTH, IPTV and cable TV, much of it will be provided by DTH operators. It will account for nearly 560 4K and 8K channels while cable TV and IPTV will account for 260+ channels.
