but for some others, this new technology can be
very confusing, if you feel you have doubts about this new
system, here I will try to explain its fundamental aspects, the
way the suppliers receive and send the signal, and what are the
advantages of this system over the standard signal one.
Its basic way of functioning in signal transmission is bouncing
a TV signal emitted from a point in Earth in a
communications
satellite, that way it can reach anywhere in this planet when it
bounces back.
These satellites revolve around at the same speed,
which allows them to be in a stationary way.

Each company has its own satellite, they receive the signal from
their channel providers, the signal is protected and checked,
after it is checked, it is sent to the terrestrial space
but with a different frequency from the one
received, this is done so there is no interference with the
provider�s signal; after the signal has traveled thousands of
kilometers, it is received by the customer�s satellite dish. |
|
 |
There are two components in your home that make the signal
reception possible: the satellite dish and a receptor. The
antenna looks a lot like a curved dish, which manages the
feeding center; it sends a signal to your receptor, which is
used to decode the signal so your TV can get it and retransmit
it. This receptor has other very important functions, such as
parental control, channel programming, online movie requests and
movie recording, in case you are unable of watching them. |
|
The advantages it has above the signal a regular
antenna might offer are huge, because despite the regular
antenna service been free from charge and been much more easy to
obtain, its quality is not the best one and it forces you to
keep tuning it by having to move the antenna; on the other hand,
satellite service offers the advantage of images of high quality,
a wide variety of channels.
(depending on the type of contract you have
arranged with your dealer), the capacity of programming and
recording our TV series or favorite movies without the need of
been at home, and also the possibility of having a parental
control above all the channels we are watching. |

Currently, there are many companies that are
offering their services at low cost and in an easy way,
companies such as Direct TV (http://www.directv.com),
which offers more than 300 channels and movies that have been
recently opened in theaters, but there are also many channels
that can be tuned without the need of been registered with any
satellite signal provider, you just need to have the satellite
dish and the receptor. There are many people that nowadays have
changed the way they used to watch TV and have discovered that
it is a good low-priced investment.
