Direct Broadcast Satellite Infrastructure, CPE, and Interactive Services Worldwide Assessment of Set-Top Boxes, Dishes, Video Infrastructure, HD, PVR, VOD, VoIP, and Satellite Broadband This study examines the market for DBS television infrastructure solutions. It addresses trends in the deployment of equipment in DBS broadcast uplink sites, as well as IP equipment to enable interactive services such as VOD, VoIP, and broadband. Infrastructure equipment analysis includes headend equipment (encompassing modulators, encoders, servers, and commercial ad-insertion equipment) and the equipment requirements for interactive uplink sites. The research also analyzes services trends such as the inclusion of mobile services into service packages, the uptake in broadband and telephony services, and the rollout of VOD. Its overview of residential services includes basic service, premium services, video on demand, telephony, broadband, and other services. Finally, the report looks at equipment deployed at households: dishes and STBs. What Does This Report Answer? How fast are DBS subscriber levels growing? How much revenue are DBS operators generating? How do DBS operators protect their subscriber bases? How will DBS service pricing be affected? How will IP functionality impact DBS service? How will DBS operators use IP video technology? What are the network implications of VOD and time shifting? Will network PVR become a reality? Where will infrastructure equipment deployments take place? What progress are various regions making with interactive service, HD, and PVR? Which vendors are supplying STB equipment to which DBS operators? What impact will triple-play technologies have on DBS? How quickly will DBS operators integrate mobile services?
