Introduction
Congratulations! You have an RV automated digital
satellite reception product — RM-9946. This system,
used with your digital satellite receiver, will deliver
the best reception possible. Your new Winegard digi-
tal satellite system was designed for ease of
installation, setup and operation.
How Does Digital Satellite System
TV Work?
Satellite programming originates from an “uplink” fa-
cility 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 fre-
quency band. This signal is received by your satellite
antenna whose shape reflects and concentrates the
signal to the LNBF* attached to
the antenna. The LNBF is lo-
cated at the “focal point” of
signal reflection, that is, the point
at which the maximum amount of
signal is effectively concentrated.
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 electronics box,
then to the receiver where individual
channel selection and processing take
place.
