2.6 Satellite broadcasting
Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data infor -
mation from satellites located 22.000 miles in space. A receiving station, such as
the antenna, should include a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals
and process them for use by the consumer audio and video equipment. The
system requires a clear view of the satellite to maximize the signal reception.
Objects such as tall lighthouse, bridges and big ship that block this view will
cause a loss of signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has
a clear line of sight again. Heavy rain, cloud, snow or ice may also interfere
with the signal reception quality. If the satellite signal is lost due to blockage
or severe weather condition, services from the receiver will be lost (picture will
freeze frame and may disappear). When the satellite signal strength is again
high enough, then the receiver will resume providing desired programming
services.
