Tata Sky 4K We expect fewer 4k customers initially, says TataSky MD Harit Nagpal

[SUNIEL]

Today nearly 25-30% of our base is on HD and
50% of the new customers are coming on HD. That
makes for around 2.5 million HD users.
TataSky will start selling a next generation set top
box Monday, but Managing Director Harit Nagpal
says he expects initially only a handful of users
and sports buffs to upgrade to the broadcast
resolution that is higher than high definition.
Speaking to ET, Nagpal says the direct-to-home
company is contending with low margins and after
nine years of operations, is still in investment
phase.​

Broadcasters have also struggled with spectrum
issues with allocation of airwaves from the
satellite. What's your opinion?
That we have generally found ways around.
Compression technology is evolving every day.
The waves required to broadcast a 4K signal have
already halved since we first tried it. Right now an
HD channel takes about three times the bandwidth
of an SD channel and a 4K channel is about three
times HD. But the fact is for every new channel
you won't take an old one off, so the compression
has to be proportionate.

so nagpal not ready to one word about their space problem? why?

So we may not see 4k successful as handful of customers may go with 4K

So that means have they got any additional satellite or some tps

 

[SUNIEL]

too much complicated answer by nagpal

 

[Deepu]

too much complicated answer by nagpal

He is just talking about compression technology

 

[Sanjeev]

But why they have not asked anything related to satellite and tps and new channels

 

[SUNIEL]

But why they have not askd anything related to satellite and tps and new channels

reporter must be asked but I am sure nagpal skipped it.

 

[Deepu]

Also they have not put the entire article, only edited transcript

 

[Sanjeev]

So I think they must have asked him about that and he have answered that but they don't want to leak those points
