Introduction

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

How Does Digital Satellite

TV Work?

Satellite programming originates from an “uplink” facil- ity 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 pro- cessing take place.
