Introduction/How Does Digital Satellite TV Work?

Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased one of Winegard’s latest developments in the mobile satel- lite reception product line —the Movin’ ViewTM. This system, used with your digital satellite receiver, will deliver the best reception possible using GPS (Global Positioning System) and precision gyro- scopes.

How Does Digital Satellite

TV Work?

Satellite programming originates from an “uplink” facility on Earth — the facility receives many signals 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 chan- nel selection and processing take place.
