The Satellite TV Systems Guide
By Brian Stevens
Want to know about satellite TV systems? Here's an overview of what they are, what they do, and the best places to get one.
What is a satellite TV system?
A satellite TV system consists of a satellite dish (slightly larger than a trash can lid), receivers (about the size of a briefcase), universal remote controls, and the cables that connect the dish to the receiver.
What does the satellite dish do?
The satellite dish captures the satellite TV signal that's sent from a broadcast center and bounced off a satellite hovering 22,000 miles above the earth. The feedhorn in front of the dish feeds the signal to a down converter that amplifies and filters the signal, then sends it to the receiver.
What do the receivers do?
Receivers convert the incoming satellite signal into a TV signal and send that signal to your TV. Newer model receivers can also:
* Pause and replay live TV
* Record TV shows using a DVR (digital video recorder)
* Record two satellite TV programs at once
* Transmit HD (high definition) broadcasts to your TV
* Store recorded programs inside your DVR
* Block programs you don't want your children to see
* Show two programs at one time using PIP (picture in picture)
How much does a satellite TV system cost?
If you purchase a system on the open market it can cost up to $1,000 or more. However, if you purchase satellite TV programming from either DIRECTV or DISH Network you can get a satellite TV system, including installation, free of charge.
