BIG TV Advantages: BIG TV is using the MPEG-4 technology which
provides more space to carry channels then MEPG2. At the moment BIG
TV channels providing 186 TV channels and 10 radio channels. They
also have plan to add more then 250 channels in next few months.
The MPEG Compression will allow space for much more channels as
compared to Dish TV and Tata Sky.
BIG TV has better picture quality then any other DTH. You cant
find pixellation problems on any channels and really enjoy digital
quality. Sounds also better then other DTH providers due it being
of Digital Quality, one can honestly say that Big TV can promote
true DVD quality pictures as well as DVD quality sound (Although
not the best, but still good)
Their starting offers and packages are better then other DTH and
provide more channels. Which will mean we will get more while
paying less! Reliance is known to crush the market this way and
theyre doing nothing different.
One of the big advantage of BIG TV is they have all popular
channels except Sports channel in their base pack which only cost
Rs 175/month. This package contains all of the most popular
channels
You can enjoy crystal clear picture quality with BIG TV.
You can enjoy 12 channels on one screen with their Select
option, which means there will be no more troublesome channel
switching.
During rain, BIG TVs signals are working better then other DTH
and you hardly found Signals loss. This is because Big TV has
learned from the experience of Tata Sky and DishTV about how to
prevent signal loss in rain.
You have detailed EPG for 2 days right now and it will be 7 days
soon. You will also be able to set reminders for programs seven
days in advance so you will never forget or miss another program
again!
You have Toll Free numbers for your help.
But as it is said, nothing can really be flawless. Therefore
there are some disadvantages with Big TV as well, albeit they are
heavily outnumbered by the positive points, nevertheless, here they
are:
BIG TV STB has random problems. Possibly because I was trying it
when it was still in Beta stages? However all the problems have
since been reported and most likely would have been fixed by
now.
Channel navigation is slower, it takes a little more time to
browse through them.
BIG TV logo is quite big, although it would be corrected in
future.COMPANY PROFILE
Know about BIG TVWritten by Dish on August 25, 2008.
Reliance ADAG has launched its own DTH service called BIG TV DTH
Service on 19 August in Mumbai. This is the 5th DTH Service to be
launched in India besides Dishtv, DD Direct+, Tatasky, and Sun
Direct TV. Of the Five DTH that are existing right now, including
the recently launched BIG TV, Four of them are pay and one of the
DTH called DD Direct+ is Free services provided by Public
Broadcaster Doordarshan.
BIG TV will be using MPEG 4 technology, thereby becoming the
second DTH player to use it besides Kalanidhi Marans Sun Direct TV
India Ltd. Even though Sun Direct has just launched in South India,
it has become the fastest growing DTH network in India with over 1
millions subscribers in just 200 days.
BIG TV will be available with 100000 outlets across 6500
towns.
BIG TV will be using Measat 3 satellite and will be providing up
to 200 TV Channels including 32 PPV channels and 10 audio channels
in the beginning and will increase to 250 channels in coming
months. BIG TV with the use of MPEG 4 technology will be able to
accommodate more channels per transponder with digital quality than
its rivals Dishtv and Tatasky who are using Mpeg 2 technology which
can accommodate only 12 channels per Transponder. The new
technology will be seen as a revolution against the growing number
of channels and the demand from subscribers to add them.
Effects on other DTH:With the Launch of BIG TV DTH services the
other 2 leading DTH operators like Dishtv and Tatasky are surely
going to revamp their pricing and packaging strategy in order to
meet the competition with BIG TV. Dishtv already is providing STB
Free and Tatasky is providing Free installation in South. Dishtv
has presently fixed a monthly charges ranging from 100Rs to 300Rs,
apart from ADD On packages, whereas Tatasky is having packages
ranging from 175Rs to 310Rs plus Add On packages. BIG TV has also
fixed its monthly packages from 100Rs to 175/- Rs plus Add-on
packages, so by this look definitely BIG TV is going to have lot of
boom in market and Tatasky will have to surely cut down its monthly
subscription rates hugely.
The Quality of Channels viewable on BIG TV is completely
different and wonderful than to other DTH like Tatasky or Dishtv as
BIG TV is using Mpeg 4 technology. Reliance is already knows for
Quality service and affordable rates.
Also Reliance BIG TV has planned to launch more than 250 TV
Channels in next few days and some of Channels are only available
on BIG TV like Firangi, IBN Lokmat.
Price War and Offers:BIG TV has started with different offers
for North as well as South users. They have launched two offers for
South with an offer at 1990/- Rs and 2190/- Rs, both these includes
12 months FREE subscription. In these offers we can get most of the
regional channels along with few English Movie channels, Hindi
channels, Sports channels, Kids channels. Apart from this Reliance
is giving one regional pack FREE and 3 months of PPV Movies
FREE.
The difference between 1990/- and 2190/- offer is that in 2190/-
we can get ESPN, Star sports and Star Cricket free for 12 months,
which is good deal considering that ESPN and Star Sports pack is
being put at 40Rs per month and Star Cricket at 25Rs per month. The
South Offer is available only in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh,
Karnataka, Pondichery and Kerala.
For North Users there are different packs ranging from 2490/- to
4990/- depending on the channels choice from the subscribers in
which they get 3 months free complimentary subscription. If a
subscribers likes to watch maximum number of channels then he could
enjoy it for 12 months Free by subscribing to Max pack of 4990/-.
Max Pack comes with all 158 channels excluding south Indian pay
channels. It also included all channels like Neo Sports, Neo
Cricket and other Add-on pack.RESEARCH METHODOLOGYRESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
No work can be completed without the research methodology.
Research methodology is an important tool which provides a
technique to conduct the study efficiently and effectively.
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research
problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research
is done scientifically.
Research design: - research design is the plan, structure and
strategy of investigation.
Research design of the project will be exploratory research.
Exploratory research is often the initial step in a series of
studies designed to supply information for decision making. The
purpose of this research is to explore the potential problem and
opportunities present for the decision situation.
The sample size of the research will be 25 employees.
The source of information will be the primary data which is
collected through the survey of 25 employees of the company.
The secondary data like books, company annual reports, journals,
and websites will be accesses to increase the knowledge regarding
the topic of study.
DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
PRIMARY DATA
METHODS OF COLLECTING PRIMARY DATA
If the available secondary data does not meet the requirements
of the present study, the researcher has to collect primary data.
As mentioned earlier, the data which is collected for the first
time by the researcher for his own purpose is called primary data.
There are several methods of collecting primary data, such as
observation, interview through reporters, questionnaires and
schedules. Let us study about them in detail.
Observation Method
The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines observation as, accurate
watching and noting of phenomena as they occur in nature with
regard to cause and effect or mutual relations. Thus observation is
not only a systematic watching but it also involves listening and
reading, coupled with consideration of the seen phenomena. It
involves three processes. They are: sensation, attention or
concentration and perception.
Under this method, the researcher collects information directly
through
observation rather than through the reports of others. It is a
process of
recording relevant information without asking anyone specific
questions and in some cases, even without the knowledge of the
respondents. This method of collection is highly effective in
behavioural surveys. For instance, a study on behaviour of visitors
in trade fairs, observing the attitude of workers on the job,
bargaining strategies of customers etc. Observation can be
participant
observation or non-participant observation. In Participant
Observation
Method, the researcher joins in the daily life of informants or
organisations, and observes how they behave. In the Non-participant
Observation Method, the researcher will not join the informants or
organisations but will watch from
outside.
Merits
1) This is the most suitable method when the informants are
unable or reluctant to provide information.
2) This method provides deeper insights into the problem and
generally the data is accurate and quicker to process. Therefore,
this is useful for intensive study rather than extensive study.
Limitations
Despite of the above merits, this method suffers from the
following limitations:
1) In many situations, the researcher cannot predict when the
events will occur. So when an event occurs there may not be a ready
observer to observe the event.
2) Participants may be aware of the observer and as a result may
alter their behaviour.
3) Observer, because of personal biases and lack of training,
may not record specifically what he/she observes.
4) This method cannot be used extensively if the inquiry is
large and spread over a wide area.
SECONDARY DATA
SOURCES OF SECONDARY DATA
We have discussed above the meaning of primary and secondary
data.
Sometimes, it is not possible to collect primary data due to
time, cost and human resource constraints. Therefore, researchers
have to take the help of secondary data. Now let us discuss, (a)
various sources from where, one can get secondary data, (b)
precautions while using secondary data, its merits and demerits and
some documentary and electronic sources of data in India.
Documentary Sources of Data
This category of secondary data source may also be termed as
Paper Source.
The main sources of documentary data can be broadly classified
into two
categories:
a) Published sources, and
b) Unpublished sources.
ADVANTAGES
It is quite simple. It has the Latest technology, lot of package
choosing option and what else it is costing very less compared to
Other DTH. In BIG TV you have wide range of packages to choose and
you can save at least 50Rs per month if you choose what you like to
watch. And to add, it is going to launch its own 20 channels in
future, so these channels will be first available on BIG TV DTH
service. BIG TV presently has lot of channels which are missing on
other DTH. Also BIG TV has the capacity to add more channels per
transponder as it uses MPEG 4 technology and still give Digital
Quality picture and Stereo quality Sound, and also it belongs to
Ambanis who are going to see that the DTH reaches almost all homes
in India like they did with Reliance Mobile.BIG TV Advantage BIG
