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 1450
MHz range. The signal is then passed through a coaxial cable to the receiver where individual channel selection and processing take place.
