DBS System Overview
Although the use of satellites, satellite dishes, and receivers may seem complex, the DMX/DBS service uses a highly sophisticated system that makes channel selection and local music programming easier and simpler than using a VCR. It also allows DMX to deliver music of unprecedented linearity, sonic precision, and exceptional fidelity.
The DMX/DBS premiere digital audio service uses the following satellite technology:
• Satellite Uplink Facility transmits music programming to the satellite through satellite dishes
• Satellite relays the music programming signals to your satellite dish antenna
•DBS Satellite Dish Antenna receives the music programming
transmitted from the satellite and relays it to the DR500 Receiver. Your satellite dish can be as small as one meter and may be installed in various places on or around your location. The only constraint is that the satellite dish must be properly pointed at the satellite with no obstacles blocking the satellite signal.
