Abstract

The demand of distance education in rural areas of developing countries like India is increasing due to unavailability of skilled teachers in rural India and limited or lack of infrastructural support. Moreover, in developing countries, the penetration of digital TV receivers is around 10% and remaining 90% uses analog TV receiver. Hence we propose a distance education solution which not only uses the exiting satellite broadcasting Television (TV) network but also maximizes the utilization of available bandwidth. In this paper we present a novel way of multiplexing of multiple tutorials simultaneously into one broadcast channel which is retrievable by the analog TV receiver. This multiplexing leads to a technical challenge of embedding multiple audio streams in a single analog channel which is overcome by treating them as a class of metadata.
