Coimbatore: The Direct to Home (DTH) subscriber base in India is expected to more than double from the current 16 million to over 32 million connections in two years.
A release from Reliance Big TV said that one of the key drivers of this growth will be the shift from cable operator service to DTH service, driven by increasing number of LCD and LED television sets in households as the prices of these sets are expected to come down.
With nearly 35 per cent drop in LCD prices expected over the next two years, these television sets will emerge as a preferred option over colour television sets. While the LCD demand will be urban-led, a gradual shift to tier two and tier three cities is also expected.
