Direct Broadcast Satellite Overview

Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information

from satellites located 22,000 miles away in space. A satellite system, such as SATFI

UK antenna, should include a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals and

process them for use by the consumer decoder & TV equipment. The system requires

a clear view of the satellite to maximize the signal reception.
