Asia
and the Pacific Rim were the first places in which MPEG-2 Free-To-Air
reception was used on a large scale. The difference between those
markets and America was that prior to the mid 90s, it took literally
very huge antennas to get even a few dozen channels...making TV
reception of many channels an impossible dream. MPEG-2 technology was
a breakthrough that allowed great reductions in per-channel
transmission costs. Mass consumers in those regions never had the
chance to spend lots of money on more costly analog equipment. Their
first exposure to satellite TV was more often than not in a digital
format. Technology has taken a 15 to 20 year learning curve of various
stages of analog receivers prior to going to digital.
So the Asia-Pacific market was a test
bed on how to get it right, with costs coming down due to companies
from the Far East trying to compete for the huge mainland Chinese
market, then Europe....now America. Meet the 4th generation of Free-To-Air digital satellite technology - the Viewsat
