DIRECTV
technology uses a small ovular satellite dish for receiving
satellite transmission signals from any one of its six highly
powered photovoltaic satellites in geosynchronous orbit around the
earth’s equator.
Each DIRECTV
satellite with multiple transponders that relay DIRECTV signals from
either of the two broadcasting stations (Castle Rock, Colorado or
Los Angeles, California) that receive programming feed from any
number of hundreds of content providers that send pre-recorded
high-quality programming content through any a number of medias such
as fiber optic cable, digital tape and most importantly, via
satellite. Once this programming has been thoroughly digitalized and
encrypted it is usually immediately up-linked for broadcasting.
DIRECTV
Transmission
Sometimes
pre-recorded shows however need to be screened and digitalized for
the high DIRECTV standards. These are stored for later usage, but
broadcasting a high-quality multi-channel digital signal from the
programming station up to a satellite and then back down to the home
is a work of pure genius. DIRECTV has been all about genius and
creative innovation from its very foundations. DIRECTV sends a
digital transmission from any of the six geosynchronously orbiting
satellites above the equator down to the home owner’s satellite dish
and to ensure a perfect reception, state of the art technology is
used. MPEG-2 is the new form of world standards for digital
audio-visual transmissions and is the kind of compressed digital
information used by DIRECTV. Upon touching the DIRECTTV satellite
dish above the home, the special DIRECTV system receives the signal
and pipes it down to the family television set.
DIRECTV Reception
The DIRECTV
system uses a satellite dish, an IRD receiver (integrated
receiver/decoder) and a remote control. The satellite dish that
DIRECTV uses is an antenna to receive signals from any one of the
six satellites in geosynchronous orbit around the earth’s equator.
The DIRECTV digital Integrated Receiver/Decoder separates each and
every channel accordingly, decompresses and translates that signal
so that a television is able to show it. The DIRECTV remote control
is used for interactive interface with the IRD to achieve multiple
functions including programming guide manipulation.
How DIRECTV works
is easily stated in one word: PERFECTLY. With two broadcasting
stations inside the continental United States, DIRECTV is certain to
always broadcast clear signals out to any of the six satellites in
geosynchronous orbit around the earth’s equator and the DIRECTV
viewer is absolutely certain to always receive the highest quality
digital MPEG-2 service available on the market today. DIRECTV is a
world leader in satellite TV technology and one of the fastest
growing electronics markets ever. MPEG-2 transmissions give DIRECTV
an edge over the competition that will launch the world into a new
era of satellite telecommunications and digital storage. DIRECTV
costumers receive both high-quality multi-channel digital satellite
broadcasting as well as high-quality service. Related article:
