It is not that simple. One should not dismiss anything lightly. The whole chain - uplinking, local processing/amplification in the sat, beaming down, dish alignment, LNB, attenuation in cable from LNB to STB, and the STB - all are important and have a role to play. Both software and hardware decide the outcome; and ingenious design can cover or make up for deficiencies.
Some examples: My Sony DVD player will hang if the DVD (borrowed from British libraries) is bad, but my old Thomson player will simply skip the defect and continue to play. This is mainly due to how the software handles a noisy signal. Some copied mp3 music cds get into trouble in my Dell desktop, but pose no problems in Lenova laptop.
Many designers will know that how exceptions are handled define the good and bad products.
You may also know that most of the electronic products are designed to work over a wide range - 90 to 250 volts; any product which expects you to use a voltage stabiliser is ready for the dustbin.
For eg. From the software point of view:
If the SW detects that the signal has fallen below, say, 40 (acceptable range 40 to 90). There are several options:
1. Set the video to zero, show a blank screen, and shut down.
2. Show a message of warning, and restore the picture when signal level rises.
3. Continue showing the picture with degraded quality till the picture is only noise.
4. Use signal enhancing techniques to continue working.
The point is, don't under estimate the power of software. A good, well thought out, and well written software can make a significant contribution to performance and reliability.
That means DD DTH is better than TS, as it had also not experienced any technical problem. :Thumbsup: and it is FREE.I am sure you are telling all lies and fooling people here, I have friend who has more knowledge in this field, will tell him to join and then he will post .If your DVD was giving problem then why comparing it here.You must have spoiled it by using all dirty DVDs. :Scared14:I think you dont know much about DTH, and trying to show people here as if you are a genius, and poor people here are going to think you as it only. Software has nothing to do with signals, signal will be good only if dish is fixed properly along with lnb, cable etc. software only will give you the picture quality but not signal quality. if you still think it is software only that is giving you good signal then go and move you dish to other satellite and see if it still gives you the signal.
