How Does Digital Satellite

TV Work?

Satellite programming originates from an “uplink” facility on Earth — the facility receives many sig- nals from different sources, combines the signals digitally and transmits to the satellites. The satellites (22,300 miles above Earth) receive the uplink signal, amplify it and then transmit it back to

earth in the Ku frequency band.

This signal is concentrated and reflected to the LNBF* located

at the “focal point” of the dish. The LNBF amplifies and converts

the signal to the 950 to 2050 MHz range. The signal is then passed through a coaxial cable to the receiver where individual channel selection
