Directv satellite television
equipment, the way it works
Directv began its satellite
television
equipment service in the summer 1994 and according to industry
information, it has become the fastest selling consumer
electronics product on the block.
How does the Directv satellite
television equipment signal transit crystal clear viewing on your
TV? The satellite TV system includes a small satellite dish which
is a satellite antenna for receiving the satellite broadcast
signal; a satellite receiver which translates the digital signal
so that a television can show it; and a remote control. Once your
satellite TV system is installed, the satellite dish is aimed at
the satellite above the earth. Since these satellites never move,
your satellite dish never has to move to locate them.
Directv satellite television equipment
has six high-powered satellites about 22,300 miles above the
earth. Each satellite has multiple transponders that relay signals
from the broadcast centers to each satellite TV dish. DIRECTV has
two of the most sophisticated broadcast centers on the planet. One
in Castle Rock, Colorado and the other in Los Angeles, California.
The Directv satellite television equipment
programming originates from the providers such as CNN, to Directv
via fiber optic cable, satellite, or digital tape to the broadcast
centers then digitized and uplinked to the high-powered satellites
in the sky. The satellite retransmits the signal back to your
satellite dish and voila your programming on your TV.
