PARTS OF THE DSS® SYSTEM

One way to understand the DSS® system is to look at the different parts of the system—from the studio down to the DSS® receiver and remote control in your living room.

Satellite Dish Antenna

Satellite

Authorization Center

WORLD VIEW

These parts make up the DSS® system “big picture.”

Uplink Center Transmits programming up to the satellite.

Satellite Relays the programming signals back to your satellite dish. The satellite is parked above the equator, in geostationary orbit 22,300 miles above the earth.

DSS® Satellite Dish Antenna Receives the satellite signals. Because the satellite is so powerful, the dish can be as small as 18 inches.

Program Provider Authorization Center Processes billing statements. Your DSS® system is linked to the Service Center through the phone jack on the back of your DSS® receiver.
