 Executive Summary

The development of the Direct to home sector has experienced a major process

of transformation in terms of its growth, technological content and market

structure in the last decade. Any company which is successful is because of their

reach among customers which is possible through the effective tools through

which a company communicates and attract its customer. Dish TV & Tata Sky is

the most famous brand and has a sophisticated place and market leader position

in the mind of customer. This is due to its strong brand image.

The attempt behind this project was to find out the effectiveness of DISH

TV & Tata Sky as a brand over the retail outlets and its competitor position over

these outlets, so that company would be able to find out its lagging area and can

focus more effectively to target more and more customer and to communicate

them more easily.

In the year 2004 Tata Sky was incorporated but was launched only

in 2006. It is a joint venture between the Tata Group, that owns 80% and STAR

Group that owns a 20% stake It currently offers close to 196 channels (as of

December 2010) and some interactive ones; this count includes some numbers.

 INTRODUCTION
DTH services were first proposed in India in 1996. But they did not pass

approval because there were concerns over national security and a cultural

invasion. In 1997, the government even imposed a ban when the Rupert

Murdoch-owned Indian Sky Broadcasting (ISkyB) was about to launch its DTH

services in India. Finally in 2000, DTH was allowed. The new policy required

all operators to set up earth stations in India within 12 months of getting a

license. DTH licenses in India cost $2.14 million and will be valid for 10 years.

The companies offering DTH service will have to have an Indian chief and

foreign equity has been capped at 49 per cent. Today, broadcasters believe that

the market is ripe for DTH. The prices of the dish and the set- top box have

come down significantly. Overall investments required in putting up a DTH

infrastructure has dropped and customers are also reaping the benefits of more

attractive tariffs. The major thing that DTH operators are betting on is that the

service is coming at a time when the government is pushing for CAS

(conditional access system), which will make cable television more expensive,

narrowing the tariff gap between DTH and cable. Some of the features of DTH

service are as following:

• DTH offers better quality picture than Cable TV.

• DTH can reach remote areas where terrestrial transmission and cable TV have

failed to penetrate.

 Dish TV Profile
Dish TV is India’s first private Indian company to start Direct to Home

(DTH) satellite broadcast operations in the country. Dish TV’s DTH services

was hard launched in May 2005. It provides multi-channel subscription

television service and interactive services. Its state of the art broadcasting

infrastructure is located at its facility in Noida, near Delhi, which is the nerve

centre of DTH operations. Dish TV has robust operating infrastructure, strong

content tie-up, established brand salience and backing of a strong group.

ASC Enterprises Limited, now renamed Dish TV India Limited (Dish)

acquired the first private sector license to operate DTH services in India. Dish

was a wholly owned company of Mr. Subhash Chandra and family, promoters of

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (Zee), formerly known as Zee Telefilms

Limited. Under a scheme of restructuring approved by shareholders of Zee, all

DTH related assets in Zee have been transferred to Dish and in return, Zee

shareholders will get 57% ownership of Dish. Restructuring initiated to integrate

operations in Dish and to overcome regulatory restrictions, which prevents Zee

from owning the DTH license.

Shareholders can now participate in the growth of DTH business. Move

will unlock shareholder value. As part of this scheme of arrangement, Dish

would get listed in India. Demerger is completed and listing expected by end of

Mar-2007.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL BY TATA SKY

First DTH Company having ISO 27001:2005 accreditation

In March 2009, Tata Sky became the first Indian direct-to-home (DTH)

service provider to be awarded the ISO 27001:2005 accreditation, the

benchmark for information security. ISO 27001:2005 is an international standard

that provides specifications and guidance for the establishment and proper

maintenance of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The

assessment for the certification was conducted by Intertek Systems Certification,

confirms that every transaction carried out through Tata Sky’s IT systems is

highly secure.

18
INVESTMENT BY TATA

Escalating competition in the direct-to-home (DTH) market has pushed up

the project cost of Tata Sky, the joint venture between the Tata group and global

media baron Rupert Murdoch's Star India, by a third. From the initially

envisaged Rs 3,000 crore, Tata Sky's project cost has moved up to Rs 4,000

crore.

 Tata sky in headlines
The company said that its “first-of-its-kind, no conditions apply” offer

will redefine the DTH landscape in the country. It surely would, as Tata Sky has

slashed the price of its set-top box by almost 40 per cent to Rs 999. Competitors

provide set-top boxes at Rs 1,400 to Rs 1,800.

Tata Sky is convinced it has taken the right path and its pricing strategy

isn’t something that it has adopted for the first time. “We were the first to break

the Rs 100 price barrier in packaging; first to introduce HD service at an

unimaginable price point and now, the first to provide a world-class quality

DTH service at an affordable price point. Our service will now be affordable for

consumers across all strata of the society,” says Vikram Mehra, chief marketing

officer, Tata Sky. The company claims a subscriber base of 5.5 million, making

it the third largest DTH player.

Mehra also says reducing the price of hardware does not mean the

company, a joint venture between Tata Sons and News Corporation, will reduce

the price of channel packs as well. The company has left the minimum

subscription charges unchanged at Rs 160 per month.

He is banking on a huge increase in subscription to the DTH provider’s

value-added services. Interactive services like ACTIVE English and ACTIVE

Cooking, for which the operator charges Rs 30 per application, have more

subscribers in Tier II and Tier III cities than in urban areas.

 STATISTICAL TOOLS USED

MEAN

In statistics, the mean is the mathematical average of a set of numbers.

The average is calculated by adding up two or more scores and dividing the total

by the number of scores.

MEDIAN

In probability theory and statistics, a median is described as the numeric

value separating the higher half of a sample, a population, or a probability

distribution, from the lower half. The median of a finite list of numbers can be

found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and

picking the middle one. If there is an even number of observations, then there is

no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the

two middle values.

MODE

Mode (statistics), the value that has the largest number of observations.

AVERAGE

In mathematics, an average, or central tendency of a data set is a

measure of the "middle" value of the data set.

31
 Comparison
Dish TV :-

Advantages

(1) The biggest advantage of Dish TV is its cost. (For old or existing customers

at this point). It offers most of the popular channels at low cost. The highest

pack costs Rs.325 per month, after which only 1 or 2 add-on packs are required

to all almost all channels, unlike other DTH where you need several Add-on

packs even after subscribing to the highest pack.

(2) Dish TV’s satellite being located very near to DD Direct Plus’s satellite, all

Dish TV users enjoy the complete channel offering of DD Direct Plus as well.

So any new channel added in DD Direct Plus automatically gets added to Dish

TV channel offering.

(3) The software of Dish TV STBs are stable at the moment. This makes the

switching speed between channels pretty fast. Also very less hang-ups of STBs

reported till now. Thanks to Dish TV STBs’ great software.

(4) Only Dish TV gives its users access to exclusive never-before seen

international channels which are not available even in cable till now. The platter

includes MGM, TCM and Boomerang. Airtel Digital TV provides MGM India

unlike Dish TV which still carries the direct international feed of MGM.

32
(5) Several new channels added recently are provided at no extra cost for the

highest pack users, except for a few channels. (Currently only for existing or old

customers). Whereas other DTH operators, have added the new launches in

separate Add-on Packs.

(6) Dish TV has a good no of Transponders to offer more channels to its users,

including the recently contracted Protostar which means more channels for its

customers.

Disadvantages

(1) One of the biggest problems of Dish TV is its Customer Care and Customer

Service which is definately not upto the mark. The CC executives lack

professionalism in their attitude and after-sales support in certain areas are

allegedly poor.

(2) Another serious issue is its audio and video quality. Quality on several (but

not all) channels on Dish is not upto the mark. Too much of pixelation is seen on

some channels and the audio standard is of course not of true CD quality.

(3) Dish TV misses out on few important channel packages which includes the

Neo bouquet and the UTV group of channels. Due to this exclusive cricket

matches and world TV premier of latest movies on these channels are missed by

the Dish TV users.

(4) New channel addition process is extremely slow when it comes to Dish TV.

It takes a huge amount of time for Dish TV to enhance its bouquet offerings.

33
 TataSky :-

Advantages

(1) India’s first and only DTH service to have made a joint venture with a

reputed international DTH brand, Sky, which is famous for its exquisite

technology.

(2) The audio and video quality of TataSky stands up to the expectations of its

users. Customers have reported about Tata Sky’s true DVD quality picture and

CD quality sound.

(3) Only TataSky gives its users an exclusive access to some authentic

international channels which includes BBC Entertainment and Celebes.

(4) TataSky offers uniform volume level across all channels, unlike other DTH

services where the volume level keep varying with each channel.

(5) The STB of TataSky is stable enough. There has been very less or no reports

of TataSky STB bugs or issues till date.

(6) TataSky users argue that its Customer Service is satisfactory. Issues are

addressed on time and the after-sales support is great.

Disadvantages

(1) TataSky has too many Add-on packs. Several add-on packs need to be

subscribed to for enjoying all the channels, even after going with the highest

pack. This makes the over-all package too costly.

34
(2) FINDINGS

1) Maximum Dealers keep DTH kit and recharge facility.

2) Awareness of new connection and new recharge offers of Dish TV is similar

to Tata Sky and Airtel Digital.

3) There is a communication gap between the company and the dealers.

4) Availability of vouchers lie between price ranges from Rs 100 to 1000.

5) Availability of voucher is one of the major issues among DTH dealers.

6) EPRS system seems to be the most troublesome recharge option for DTH.

7) In case of Dish TV because of frequent trouble complains in EPRS recharge

option, vouchers are preferred over others that are not the case with other brands

who use all other options.

8) Customer care service is considered to be very poor as dealers often complain

of problems in recharge process.

9) Many dealers say they recommend Tata Sky and Airtel because they get the

installation done much faster in comparison to Dish TV. With Dish, it takes up to

3-4 days sometimes.

10) The company hasn‘t been able to keep up the promises made to the

customers, like installation and activation commitments are often not met.

35
 SUGGESTIONS

1) Increase awareness: Since there is lack in communication channel, it should

be tackled with care and dealers should be constantly made aware about the

offers and new plans through meetings with company executives at regular

intervals.

2) Improve processes and techniques: In order to make recharge or activation

process more transparent and user friendly, the EPRS technology needs to be

upgraded consistently.

3) Give more value added services: Since Tata sky and Airtel have clear edge

over value added services like free installation DTH needs to mend its strategy

to face these competition. One way of doing this would be to offer at least the

same service as these two competitors are trying to eat the market share.

4) Improvement in after Sales Services: Arrange: proper training for

customer care executives as Dish TV lacks proper after sale service against the

service provided by Tata Sky & other brands.

5) Standardized the price plans and avoid frequency changing: Frequent

changes in price and offers is proving no good for Dish TV as it is in way

frustrates the customers with changes in offers without being informed about it.

6) Voucher Availability: Make proper channel of Distribution of voucher. As

sometimes it becomes hectic for any consumer to find a voucher recharge dealer.

36
 LIMITATIONS

• Bad or poor Customer care.

• Bad or unclear Reception of Some Channels.

• Less advertisement in initial stage.

• Less variety of channel packages.

• Failure of Telecommunication Network.

• Complexity of payment for tariff.

• Requires a dish to be placed on the top of the roof which might not be

convenient for people living in flats.

• People are not willing to invest for DTH against cable TV.
