Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased one of
Winegard’s latest developments in the mobile satel-
lite reception product line —the Movin’ View

TM

. This

system, used with your digital satellite receiver, will
deliver the best reception possible using GPS (Global
Positioning System).

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.
