Codes and Frequencies
Description
TV5 indicates whether the household had "a TV5 antenna," which delivers live satellite television.
The related variable CABLETV is based on the question "Does your household have a subscription to CANAL?" CANAL is an international subscription TV service with multiple TV and radio stations in French; CANAL+ includes channels in additional languages, such as English.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences, TV5 is comparable across samples.
The information in TV5 is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
Comparability - Standard DHS
TV5 is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS household questionnaire.
