Conceptually, satellite Dish TV is very similar to broadcast television. It primarily works by broadcasting both video and audio signals from satellite dishes on the surface of the Earth to geostationary satellites in space.

These said geostationary ‘bases’ continually orbit the earth in a part of space referred to as the ‘Clarke Belt’, which is more than 22,000 miles above the Earth’s equator.

Each one of these consists of numerous transponders and transmits a signal back to Earth.

These signals are generally on Ka-Band, Ku Band, or C Band. The signal’s band essentially describes, in broader terms, the signal’s frequency.

Upon traveling more than 20,000 miles, the signals are subsequently received by a satellite dish. The dish itself can be 9 ft. or larger across, or as small as 18 in. wide. The function of the satellite dish is to serve as a reflector and a collector. The dish captures the signal and then reflects it back towards the feedhorn.

The feedhorn receives the signal that was reflected and then transmits it to the LNB. After that, the LNB boosts the signal and converts it to a more suitable frequency for transmission via a cable. Fundamentally, the cable is referred to as the IFL.

The LNB sends the signal over the cable (IFL) to the receiver. Next, the receiver then transmits the signal to the TV in your home.

Digital TV

Today, most TV is digitally encoded. This facilitates broadcasters to provide more TV channels while utilizing the same amount of bandwidth.

TV is readily available in both new HDTV (ATSC High Definition) and standard resolution format.

The digital data is generally compressed using MPEG-2 or some variation. MPEG-4 is starting to replace MPEG-2 in a few networks.

Options for TV

Several vendors manage TV networks throughout the globe. Your TV options will vary based upon what particular country you’re from. Also, a few spot beam services only cater to certain metro cities.

In the U.S., The biggest TV vendors are DirecTV and Dish Network. Both Dish Network and DirecTV provide programming on the Ka and Ku bands. Also, National Programming Service and Superstar provide programming on C Band.

A few free-to-air TV channels are also available cost-free if you have and use a Free-to-Air receiver. More details about Satellite Dish TV Installation in Dubai. Visit here
